@Narikaa:

i know PAM collectors they aren

With all the talk lately for the Gen Egiziano for sale I wanted to post here about a hommage I really like..

I know it's an hommage of the Egiziano, and for that, I'm grateful there is SOMETHING out there that doesn't cost

Hiya, Screwie, hope you enjoy your stay in the Forum. This is the newbie mantra, but all the info you ask is already available by reading the forum for hours, hitting Search, reading the sub-forums and what-not. This includes PMing in case you're stuck.

Of the three watches you solicit opinions of:

Omega Speedmaster DayDate White

Breitling Chronomat Evolution SS White

IWC Spitfire Pilot Chrono (either SpitFire Pilot Chrono SS White or White SpitFire SS Chronograph)

Only:

Seems professional enough for a suited environment, with as you say, rich people around. The IWC Spitfire Chrono might do, but it depends on your position (I personally think only techie people like Pugwash could get away with that). IMHO, not the BCE. It's too sporty.

Once again, welcome to the forum, have a look around, and see what is out there. Like your Zenith enthusiasm, it'll take time to scope out all the combos, but rewarding!

P.S.: Okay, I'll throw you a bone. This is the Speedy in white, from Andrew/Trustytime, who I suggest as the newbie go-to-dealer.

Not all dogs are suited for those activities however, only the ones that were bred and trained for these purposes specifically. And what to say about cats?

Never underestimate the importance of "cuteness".

It seems an universal truism that whatever is considered beautiful gets an easier time of life -- else the Chinese would eat their canaries.

I know people like that...

The one who purposely buttons his shirtcuff on the second hole (smaller diameter) so that his watch HAS to be displayed...

He who wears his watch with a few extra links that makes it no longer elegant...

She who always sits and rest her head on her arm...

...guilty as charged!

Mea culpa too, Anton.

I roll up the sleeves on my left arm, exposing the watch. I play with my hair (I would anyway, I like fluffing my hair). And I often sit in "pensive mode" -- you know, with fingers on chin like Rodin's statue, or holding a pen near my cheek.

P.S.: Oh, speaking of Latin:

"Ut sementem feceris, its metes"

Semen smells when it meets your face?

@Demon: Gen?

@Dluddy: Hold that thought! You reminded me I promised V something.

Thank you, but TGIF is all it is. After a long week with nose to grindstone, I generally like to dine out somewhere special on Friday nights. And I usually wear a nice watch when I am out on the town.

I see.

I dine out much more frequently (don't cook), but I'm just like you and choose my watches carefully. Do you get compliments from the wait staff?

Freddy GUESS WHAT!

At the second Church, seen above, the haul of quality timepieces was VERY IMPRESSIVE. Amongst them, I saw my very first real Daytona, however, with darker registers than yours above.

That was after the service was over, and people were milling around the Padre. The first thing that caught my eye was the SS bracelet. Then the tell-tale Daytona dial. It had a glint to it that is hard to explain. The polished finishing was amazing.

It certainly didn't look like my cheapie Silix that's for sure. How embarrassing -- I may not wear it anymore!

A few pews ahead of me to the right, was a JFK Jr. look-a-like wearing a Breitling BCE. I tried not to look at him throughout the service, but he was one of those Brad Pitt type guys that makes sure his watch hand is always visible.

Hope I wasn't like that...

Sieg kitty!

Of course, the naysayers and politically-correct have to put their oar in.

"yo dude your site is kinda gay, no offence butthe catrs dont look enough like hitler, i saw one where the cat is in anazi uniform, more of those cuz thats funny, the rest is kinda gay

- Evan"

It's under "We HATE Kitlers".

but it will stay in Europe... at this HORRIBLE US dollar price it is not a steal for US collectors... 1 year ago would this watch sold in a minute. But how much is the exchange rate for GBP - USD today?

But T, don't you think that if you have the money to buy the Egiziano, you aren't the kind to care about exchange rates?

This isn't meant for one of us, who count our pennies, yes?

FRIDAY

I went to Church TWICE today, for the Passion services, due to the timing of the POTR auctions.

Did you think I would use my Fish today? No! The Gucci Twirl in SS, but Fish still makes an appearance.

SATURDAY

Another duo-Wristie. My mother wearing a very special watch indeed. Won't say which, but keener eyes will know.

That's Narikaa's thick Mont Blanc rollerball under the Twirl. Thanks, Reg!

SUNDAY

The Chopard Happy Sport (Happy Beach) watch on this Easter Sunday.

It really makes you smile and feel happy.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it!

P.S.: I was in the aisle pew on both occasions, so I was able to check out the clerical and congregants' watches. The first priest wore a plain Timexy-looking watch with black band. The second, well, let's just say, he was more worldly.

Easter "RO-L-EGGS" compilation :

I had the same idea, Laz -- but your eggs look better!!

Best wristcheck so far.

JLC tonight

That's beautiful! Perhaps not your Patek, but very special.

I notice you like to kit yourself out with something really classy on Friday nights, Freddy. What's the story?

Miami Beach, FL, USA.

Paypal sucks sometimes but there is no need to be paranoid that it will freeze the funds without any obvious reason!

The worry is that a newbie might mention "Donation Rep Forum" or something in the title -- and of course, transaction limits imposed by PP.

I have a monthly limit, since I don't have a Premier (just Business one).

When using PP for an auction donation, please use "Donation" for the subject, and list only your username, and the username of the seller in the comments. This will give me all the information that I need to notify the seller quickly as to who paid for what. Hopefully this will keep PP from killing the account.

Glad to see you're okay, Rob.

I left church early I was so concerned about paying for my two items. As I said, I have my funds in the PP, so that's my method. The Money Order idea is a great one for CONUS folks. Not too sure it's that good for foreigners, as they charge exchange rate fees. Could someone comment on this?

Take care, and have a truly Happy Easter!!

Ok I'm looking at buying another rep and the description says it's 18K Thick YG Plating.. 5 mils. How long will this lasts with average use ie normal wear. Anyone have any idea? And if it wears out where can I get an 18K case?

Yes, my mother has had her Gucci reps retouched with more than 5 mils IIRC. Her local jeweller did it for her. The YG Gucci twirl, and Rolex Sub TT lasted about 3 months. She wore hers daily, and she's not careful. I have YG reps which are mint, because I am.

Never ever Cape Cod cloth them, obviously. Not to you Coeuss, but for some newbie reading.

It's all starting to get a little messy... one minute it's PayPal, now it's WU... I think a decision has to be made soon as there are some who prefer PP, some WU etc etc (ad infinitum... !).

There's yet a third option, but it's not my place to say.

Messy is the collection paddles during Sunday Mass. This is great!

I believe the individuals will handle the payments, but Rob would prefer WU if at all possible.

Thanks, LR!

That still requires a lot of personal info. Having just sent money to DSN this weekend, you'll need his:

Full name (First, Middle, Last)

Address

City

Country

The agent will ask you for ID, and you'll fill out your information including telephone number accordingly. Then you'll receive the MTCN confirmation number, which the agent will circle for you on your receipt (carbon copies, printout, actual receipt).

You'll then have to contact Rob with that, so he can confirm it with the seller.

I have funds in my PP account, so I'll do so via there, if at all possible. Good luck people! GO POTR!

Vicky,

See my PM and email to you and please advise...

Thank you very much for that info. I also would like to thank the Mod who contacted me with another option. But the questions above still remain.

In response to questions about Mods being in charge, this is what Two Tone wrote in his main POTR thread. Perhaps it's changed?

"At the end of the Auctions, all payments will be made directly to Rob...

He in turn will let the seller know when payment is received...

Shipping communication should be directly between the Buyer & Seller..."

http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=421056

This is an issue that needs to be worked out with Rob.

Could someone please contact him about this thread? I may have an old email addy of his.

Compounded to this awkwardness in timing, is that it's Good Friday, and I'll probably be at St. Patrick's church at 3 PM EST (12 PST)...it worries me.

In a few hours, many of the POTR auctions will be closed and payments made.

I have not received a reply from Rob in days (which is fine, that's not the point -- he has a lot on his hands), so I'm asking publicly:

- Do the owners of the auction items all have the private PP address, to relay it to the winning bidders?

a. Transaction limits are of some concern.

b. Also of concern is newbies using "rep forum" or similar in the notes area, which would close it down.

- Who will confirm these payments to the former owners, if Rob is swamped or can't reply?

I think most are aware of the search function. I just cant understand if someone has already done quite a bit of research, why not share some of that when someone has a question. I am also new here but that seems like the helpful thing to do. I know on other boards (car forums) if someone ask for some info and I have already done some leg work I have no problem at all chiming in. Just a thought. = J

Because every forum has its own modus operandi?

This is a more technical replica watch forum than the others. It also provides dealer info to all Supporters, and since most newbies' second question is: "Where can I buy this watch you suggest?", it becomes a circular, awkward answer.

Questions like, "Where can I buy the [ insert best replica watch model here ]?" are never disregarded, but the replies you get mirror TT's above.

Inrila, please read this thread.

It starts off with a Fiddy (PAM 127), yes, but look at where it ends. Good luck, PM any time!

I disagree. If we have high occurences of cancer now, because of no knowledge as to what causes it, why were older generations (such as your great grandparents) not dying of cancer?

No, no. I am making the opposite argument. That cancer is on the decline because the number one carcinogen is not as potent a daily force anymore.

But since this is being closed, one last word.

Dani wanted us to remember that violence against animals, specifically dogs, is inhumane. He proposed sending moneys to a charity which combats dog cruelty in China.

Whether you do or not, it's important to remember his original motives as worthy of anyone's attention. Even in rep watch fora.

Guys, this was a perfectly good thread until God was brought up (I think in passing by me!). But people just couldn't stay away from it. We've discussed that and politics upteen number of times.

PLEASE DO NOT MENTION RELIGION in these OT threads. It's not too much to ask, is it? Now look -- it's going to be closed.

Plus it could probably do with going to Cheiftang or Jakub for an AR upgrade (I keeed, I keeed )

And there would be a very happy Polish dude living his life out in Tahiti after having sold it.

I keed! I keed!

Never having seen it worn, this came as a shock to me. WOW!

And that Angelus 8-day movement.

I bet you anything it doesn't sell for GBP 50,000 though. Half of Hollywood must have their agents bidding as we speak.
