  1. Do it, but one side (underneath the crystal), scratch free on top!
  2. Thanks for the advice mate! Would you think traveling with one on my wrist and 3 on my watch travel case would work?
  3. Thanks for the info. mate! Now I want a burnt blue nautilus so bad!
  4. That's odd, I had read about that on Timezone some time ago. But TBH I know VERY little about Patek Philippe watches. Diff. Movements maybe?
  5. No kidding, they might as well engrave the MSRP so everyone can see it!
  6. Like carl said, why buy a watch like a Tudor and then avoid paying servicing in that price range? TBH $175 is a steal compared to the $500 a Rolex AD would charge you! You should've told him: "Ok then, just for you, $800!"
  7. To clear off some doubts, the AD offered the buyers to have the Nautilus with or without the seconds hand; there's something more to this but I don't know how it goes. With so many Nautilus variations and the little knowledge people have about Patek Philippe watches no one will call you out. Unless it's a Patek buff... but with the many variations of this watch, again, I doubt they will call you out.
  8. I'm sorry to High-Jack this thread, I'm traveling to the U.S. back again to college, I have 8 watches (7 reps here and one gen), I have bought a travel watch case for this purpose (and to store them here at home), you think I'll have problems if I take all of them all at once? Can anyone give me some info. Regarding this please? Thx!
  9. This is excellent info. Not only for the owners but to future owners as well! Thanks yet again ByTor! This IMHO should be stickied!
  10. My suggestion is to get the Day-Date and wear it on special occasions only, yellow or rose gold is nice to wear at night or formal events; for every day usage get a nice SS watch, or WG plated, a Two Tone is also a good choice. You could also have the watch PVD coated in yellow or rose gold, it will wear like iron, but I don't know how much it costs or how do you remove the plating first from the case and crown... Or you could buy a SS DD get it PVD coated in gold and swap the dial with a genuine in YG (they go for around $200-400 on the Bay). The possibilities are endless.
  11. Awesome, I love that no brand tourby from Homer, very elegant looking with that strap.
  12. In here it's cloudy, raining every other day and we're at a cool 22 (Celcius).
  13. That watchmaker-9 is overpricing everything way too much ($375.99 for a Date-Just!?!?) and is using the usual scammer lingo, there's no such thing as a "Swiss-Made rep"... EVER! Stick with the trusted dealers, for Day-Dates and Date-Just Ruby is the dealer to go, her specialty are those two, she can have one custom made for you with the dial you want, type of bracelet, gold color, etc. Shoot her an email! Oh, and BTW her prices are less than $220 for a FG Date-Just or Day-Date. Beats the hell out of $572 doesn't it? Plus Ruby inspects the watch before sending it to you and actually sends you pics of the watch you're getting!
  14. Meh, my parents let me watch anything (TV, internet, magazines, etc.), I turned out just fine, good grades at school, I have lots of friends, I like to dress GQ style and I'm heading off to college in a few months, honestly let the kids watch anything, I even got to watch the Playboy channel, yay! (Seriously I did). The only thing that kids need is a good education and discipline, I cannot tell you how many times I see some brat making a scene at a mall, the supermarket or a restaurant and the parents BEG him to be quiet and stop making a mess, some even CRY! Wtf?! That's PATHETIC! And bad parenting! When I was a kid if I made a scene it was told that either I shut up and behave or I would get spanked, and trust me I did because they would do it! Keyword here is discipline! I don't mean beat him to a pulp, just slap some sense into the kid and tell them the consequences.
  15. I saw tha video a few months back, nothing short of amazing.
  16. When I bought a Omega leather strap for my Gen Speedmaster at an AD I just told them I needed one and they showed me what they had, they did offer to do the installation for free but I didn't have the watch at the moment so I did it myself when I got home, no need to have a watch strapped on your wrist. That was about 2 years ago. I guess it depends on the AD, some are far more anal than others, asking for it as a gift for someone else is the best way to go.
  17. Is that genuine or a rep? I'm not familiar with vintage Rolex other than the fact the Double Red SD is really elusive.
  18. For what watch do you need the strap? We can tell you what's the size you need so you can just buy it online or just go to the AD and ask for one instead of taking your watch.
  19. Wow, that is one beautiful GMT, the pics from Andrew's website and Josh's don't do it justice!
  20. Hahaha good one triplehd, hopefully the buyers will take our advice and ignore the seller.
  21. BTW this is the message I got from the seller: No surprise there.
  22. I had to send a message to the winning bidder warning him about the fake on the Tag and the Omega, the scammer ended the auction early to collect the money before eBay could shut down the auction, damn scammers! If you can send them a message as well stating they were bidding on fakes so that they won't think we're joking.
  23. I'm more active at RWI (700+ posts) and WUS.
