It is funny, I just recieved a Seiko Series 5 Automatic Blue Dial Mens Watch SRPB89, and i really love it. I have always loved the rolex subs, but honestly I really like a watch that is a bit bigger. I never really bought name brand watches or Homages because of the names. It has always been what I like the look and feel of. Either way, i do not understand why Rolex has been hesitant to making a larger Sub. This Seiko is just perfect!!!

I like the new insert better, but eye of the beholder...

That sucks!!!!

You guys missunderstand me, I am not looking for local, I am just looking for in the USA as I would rather not risk customs both ways if not needed. I tried one guy I have used before but he initially said he could not so I am looking for another option. I have a Pam that needs a crystal replacement, I have already found a source for the crystal.
-
did you ever find anyone?

I have a rep Panerai Luminor GMT 44mm case crystal seems tobe 37.5mm wideat bezel where can I get a replacement?
-
I was just looking on Ebay for a homage rose gold Panerai for my wife. She does not care if it says Panerai or nothing at all, so I was just looking for something sterile figuring it would be cheap as i bought a sterile Pan about two years ago for under $100 and it is actually one of my fav watches. Anyway they have gone nuts, there are many many for 300 and up, and even the exact one I bought befroe was there but for over $250. Have they all gone nuts??? Does this mean my good reps have also skyrocketed?
-
the halmark idea maybe on the inside of the case back?
-
I had a rep that lost the pearl and I took some dental flowable resin, put a drop and it looks great!!!

awhile back I saw just you want it was a sort of smart puck that attached to the back of any watch and turned it in to a smart watch. I honestly only went for the iwatch as I figured if I was out sailing in the middle of winter and flipped my boat at least I could call my wife and say goodbye!!!! But now I am hooked
-
When the iwatch first came out a couple of years ago I swore I would never give up my automatics for one. I remained faithful until this last week when I received a Iwatch3. Originally I only bought it because it now is waterproof and can make phone calls without having to have my phone. The idea being that could use it when on my sail boat as a safety net, and also on bike rides. So it arrived and I have used it now for a couple of days to get used to it. Problem is it really is convenient and useful. for example, last week while working on a patient my son called me and I was able to see it was him without even stopping to go get the phone. Real good! Then for txt messages it is fast and efficient, turn your wrist and talk in to it and boom. It just works. Now I have to just try and stay away from it, as I know it is evil!!!!!

I do not know, I just used it yesterday and it still worked for me. Got another 45mm dive watch t-100 seiko movement with tritum markers for 240!!!!!!!! The downside is that this is the 3rd watch of theirs that I have bought with this coupon........I am happy but the wife not soo much
-
got an e-mail from Deep Blue today with the code CYBER I got 40% off my order, made a watch that was already on sale for 249 only 149 delivered.... Cannot beet that!!!
-
What do you all think? Real 2824 or chinese? I am trying to get a new movement for my wife's explorer and honestly most of the seagull 2824 are $90 on ebay and this one is not much more than 200 so I might consider at least having a real deal if you all feel it is legit.

On rep sunglasses I would worry about the quality of the optics. Personally I have had many pairs of lower end sunglasses that have given me a headache, so I bite the bullet and always go with either Ray Ban or something equivalent, or maybe a pair of Maui's
-
point taken. Not that it matters at this point, I thought about removing my watch but was actually more worried about someone seeing the buldge of a watch in my pocket and stopping me, since I was just looking and did not plan on trying one on, I was not sure...
Sorry to all...

I like my watches, I have over 40 at the present time, a couple of vintage gens, which I honestly almost never wear. I love the reps, I like them for the look of them. All of mine keep time just fine. I swap watches almost daily so I really do not care if the power lasts for days on end as I will be wearing something else tomorrow. I just care that I like the look and feel of the watch and that it keeps relatively good time. Most of my reps probably are not perfect but honestly they feel great, are all very solid watches and on the wrist I doubt 99% of the people would even question if it was real or not, but again, I like them which is all that matters. I honestly tried the microbrands but most of the ones I own have flaws from being micro brands. For example my deep blue, in the picture on the website the face was white and the markers and hands bright yellow. In reality the face is like cream and the hands and the markers are two different shades of yellow. I still kept the watch, but if it was a rep and people compared it to a gen based off the pictures it would be considered a bad fake, and I mean bad. The case is also very bulky. So the better reps are at least trying to immitate a beautiful watch, and doing a fantastic job. Last I would never be able to own 40 gens even if I had way more money than I do. So who cares, I love my reps!!!

So I went to Vegas over the weekend, and while going through one of the casinos I spotted the Rolex dealer and the Omega dealer. So I had to visit, even though my wife and I were both wearing Omega Reps!!! Decent looking reps, I figured that: they are good reps and the sales people really would only spot them if for some reason they actually held the watch. Second, honestly wha would they do? Think of how many people are actually out there wearing reps thinking they are legit. Tackle me? I think not, why would they risk a scandal and lose a potential scandal!!!
Either way it was fun, and did have a little bit of the living on the dangerous side effect also!!!

ok, normall I don't post on these but I am curious, they are claimiing even a 2 year rolex warrenty, so one would believe it is real. But, look at it, the pearl is even off center..... Really?
-
I have countless 2813 watches and the majority perform flawlessly.
-
that is the case with my guy, has worked for years always on gen watches , he specializes in rebuilding vintage watches such as my 50s bumper Omega. He knew it was a clone, just not which model clone.
-
ok I will ask the repair guy to take it out and get me a picture of the case
-
So I read up a bit and apparently the 2836 and 24 are basically the same except for the 2836 has day/date function? vs only day? But it also says that the stem height is different on the two, so How do I know which one I have? Will a picture of the movement from the front help?
