  1. I used mine all the time when I am in Vegas. I keep my laptops in during the day when I am out and the other watches I am not wearing. At night I keep the camera in there and a laptop also all but one watch.
  2. I love my Graham... It gets comments also, usually they comment about how big it is lol.
  3. Remi is great... Search for some of his other videos. He has some great ones out there.
  4. Has a flat three on the clasp lol... I am thinking they came with the rounded three on the bracelet but I don't know for sure.
  5. I have never done it backwards. I will say that if your watch isn't allowing you to do something like set the time it is likely time to get it checked out... That sounds like some issues that need worked out...
  6. I think the issue is some of them compress the images when you upload them. Smugmug doesn't do anything like that but I know that flicker does and pretty sure photobucket does the same. I would be willing to bet that is where the problem comes from.
  7. I prefer smugmug or and flickr for my photo hosting. There is a large difference though.
  8. I have seen them and they look good.
  9. Movement would be the best tell LOL. Most models are awfully close to genuine. If you get your hands on one you could probably tell because mine is super noisy (a7750 lol) and I imagine the crown and tube are not the same but I don't know I didn't check when I saw the genuine at the dealer. And the case back as far as mine goes. The only one I saw like mine had a display back with a cool looking grid in the glass where as my replica one has a solid back. I don't know if they came with solid case back but I imagine they did depending up on year and model.
  10. Yeah no problems with my crown here... I haven't read about any problems with them either. But get a strap the replica straps aren't any fun lol mine is a taikonaut strap. If you wanted the one I have on mine it's here. I toyed with the idea of getting one of these or these. I use the replica rubber with the deployment though when I am not feeling the suede strap.
  11. I had mine serviced and it need some new part I don't recall what it was that was replaced. Anyhow the issues that were pointed out were that the dial and hands didn't like up exactly like they should however it isn't noticeable and I would imagine that it would depend on the dial and watch combo just tolerances and all. The screw down crown is decent it isn't like the SOSF I have. It is smooth but it doesn't turn a few times or anything like that. To screw it down I line up the dot on the crown and push it in and make a quarter turn. That is it and it lines up perfect each time I don't know what they do with it to make it happen but it just does lol. I don't know much about water tight I keep everything I have away from the water... Yes even my casio pathfinder lol. I wear my watches while washing my hands (I do it several times a day) but that is as close as any of them ever get to water. No problems with any of the watches I have with that sort of treatment. No real problems or anything I have with mine. The changes I would do and plan on doing are the AR coating, and lume of the hands or genuine hands. Those are the only real changes I would make with mine.
  12. I want one of those lol... Dunno how much I would wear it though. Looks way too nice to be worn out lol.
  13. Looks like some of the photos are from different watches. I don't know how close it is to gen though. Get one that you feel you would like wearing and go with it. Mine is super noisy but I believe that is just how the A7750 is lol.
  14. That thing is horrible... But regardless I would pay 25 bucks LOL.
  15. Colorado here... But super happy with my purchases lol.
  16. They are great and if you search for them (can't recall if it was here or the geek) you will find some that have had the crystal done by chief or others. Those are the ones that really sell the carbon fiber dial. If you see one of those photos you will be on board LOL. I know I am all about it but I want to just do everything when I send it off for that operation like relume the hands lol. If you are looking at one I believe they are on par with some of the higher end replicas and it would be hard to go wrong with one of them. I am sure you know this part but if you didn't the flyback isn't really a flyback lol.
  17. I have the flyback and it is wonderful. Only real item I would change is the AR I have seen them with recoated crystals and they look amazing. With these pams you don't have the issues of crown guards or dial printing like the others. With one of those you might have an issue with date font, I don't know as much about those though. Same watch with the rubber strap included with the watch when I bought it.
  18. Interesting... Mine are nice smooth and still very flexible. Could be different variations in manufacturing also. However I don't have any problem with the Westones suggestion those are good also lol.
  19. I have had a set of SE210 that I ended up passing down to a friend for years. I don't know that the build quality is that bad perhaps some people are harder on them than others. I ended up upgrading and getting a newer set about a year ago and they are still working away.
  20. Like before I don't mind mine being the same... I am open and honest in my dealings. I haven't sold any watches though I have all of my past purchases and wont be selling unless I have to sell them to make bill payments or something like that. I do sell other stuff, computers, electronics, photography equipment, pens, LOL. Everything I sell I try to do locally, I picked up a square reader and accept credit cards. I let people know I don't do checks and prefer cash however if they have a card I will accept them also. And more importantly I don't haggle on prices lol, I price what I am selling low or at what I feel is a decent price. Unless it can be had cheaper somewhere else or there isn't a way to verify the items or services. When I buy anything genuine I make sure I have all boxes, papers, and that it is checked out. Now I know that some of the times it isn't possible to have all of that and still be able to get a good deal. So in those cases if I feel it's a good seller I buy it but I have a receipt and name/address of seller as well as confirmation it is what he/she claims. When I sell something (anything) I offer everything I have on it, my receipt, boxes, papers whatever I got with it. (I have the actual boxes for a laptop I purchased over 10 years ago still sitting around, with the original sales receipt and all papers, manuals, restore cd's... I also have receipts from the memory I added, and updated hard drive on it, and when I sent it in to Sony under warranty all papers with it. My SOSF that was bought second hand. I don't have any reason to doubt the seller but I have the original ad saved, I have the receipt and emails from VAC when it was serviced and lumed. All because if I have to sell it someone might want it. I expect others to have that kind of stuff however I know that majority don't have it. So when I buy something I take it at what can be proven, has it been serviced (lets see some evidence of it or I would have doubts). But if a seller says I bought this from X, and X said this, this, and this, I don't know know for sure but here is what it looks like. I would do some research on the seller and X then I would look at the stuff he was selling. Regardless of it being replica sales or ebay sales or genuine sales what I would be looking for is if the parties were satisfied. If I am buying a genuine from someone who was active on replica forums and he didn't have any paperwork or boxes from his stuff. I would be suspicious but if he had sold items before to either group I would look at them and see the ads he posted before and if the other party was satisfied with what was received. I would also ask that he be willing to accept a third party verification either he could take it to get verified or I would take it to be verified (only if no papers were included) before the transaction be considered finished. But if he had the papers and such I would have no problem especially if others were satisfied in past dealings. I don't see that it would be a problem with dealing in other merchandise. If someone doesn't want to because they think you might be trying to pull a fast one on them or scam them, you have to really look at your actions. Because if you are an honest straight up person and have the evidence you are selling what you claim to be selling there shouldn't be any reason to think you would scam someone.
  21. I guess I don't know what the censored is lol... but faking anything like that (orgasms) is never fun or good. Probably better to let the other party know they are screwing up or they will continue doing what doesn't work. You know just my experience and all LOL. Oh and I hardly ever post on the ol' TZ site, I do browse their classified sections probably on a weekly basis just to make sure I am not missing some killer deal. (I have missed a few already LOL some seiko that was running around here was missed...)
  22. Such a nice looking piece. I am trying to decide on getting a white pam or having a white dial built iwc... Probably have to wait to see how long it takes to get a job. But one thing that is missing is a nice white dial, take that back I do have a graham white dial.
  23. Mine is generally the same everywhere. I do that because I am not creative and don't really have any nicknames... If you see someone on another forum with the same username as what is listed over on the left <--- chances are it is me LOL (more than likely it is me). Now as for having a problem as long as you are a straight up person I don't think there would ever be a problem. The problems arise when people hide things or flat out lie about something. I realize there are people on the genuine forums who really don't like replicas but yet these same people tolerate things like invicta which is frankly just as bad as a replica just without the name-brand dial. If people aren't going to accept someone who likes the style of the watch and wears it for just that then they have some issues to work out and I don't have time to be bothered by them.
  24. Price? that is one nice looking watch there.
