All good stuff there’s Sixx. I first saw AC/DC in ‘81 when I had unblemished skin Skid Row and Mötley Crüe I think I had one brave little skull and crossbones.?

It will be about one in a hundred that notices your watch and one in a hundred of them that can tell it is a rep. If that happens, be sure to say “hello brother”, because it is likely to be one of us.? Wear it for your own pleasure and have a great birthday

I can’t say I have heard of them, but experience tell me you are not going to get a watch that looks like this for a hundred quid. The gap on the SELs on that watch are perfect. I’m betting they are using pictures of genuine watches. I looked a bit further, it isn’t a genuine watch, but I also doubt it is what you will get. I’m guessing the pictures have been manipulated to make the watch look better than it is. A hundred quid Rolex with Miyota movement is never going to look that good. Also the rotor is likely to be noisy. I think most like if you receive a watch at all, it will be of the kind of quality you get from DHGate for $50-100

I agree on that one, a straight on picture is a reasonable request for QC or even a M2M sale

Your call on that one, but I wouldn’t, the next one might have a defect that isn’t as easy to fix.

You too buddy

I dug this out of the depths

I haven’t tried just sliding it round, but I have removed inserts and replaced them in a better alignment and warming the bezel with a hairdryer or heat gun, does help soften the glue. Be careful, ceramic inserts are brittle, if sliding works it would definitely be safer than trying to remove it.

I think I warned you at the time about sticking with Trusted Dealers??? I hope it gives you no more problems though

Stone, I travel. I know you have taken some incoming over the last few months and I saw the gentlemanly and open way you responded. A credit to you, I still hold the faith brother. JMB V1, My Christmas wish

A brother just PMd me pictures of a case from her and I’m impressed, very impressed

Oh, sorry, I could have sworn it was you, but now you mention it I’ve never seen you post a Daytona build. Later on I will go hunting and see if I can dig anything up. It was pretty useful

Runs in my mind that @occb2 I think it was him, published a long list of brands known to use V72 some time ago

Happy Thanksgiving guys

http://www.pf-818.com/r41djs-705-116334-ss-ss-fluted-oyster-blue-sticks-sa-3136.html This one is the odd one out, it has the true clone of the Rolex movement. All the others are Chinese 2836 with deco plates. Honestly I think the factories make it as hard as possible to sort out which movement they are using. Why name them all so similarly otherwise. There is nothing wrong with the Chinese 2836, other than the crown being slightly lower than gen. I personally dislike deco plates, especially as in order to fit them to some reps, they make the case deeper than gen. so for a bit of theatre behind a closed case back that isn’t going to fool anyone, they add a very obvious fault to the case. Mutter, mutter. Having said all that, I wouldn’t refuse a watch simply because it had deco plates

When I moved here I rigged up a music server in the kitchen and tend to just leave it running. The kitchen is kind of out on a limb and away from the rest of the house. I just went in to have some tea, as I walked in HIM - Vampire Heart. Then 2cellos are a couple of guys from Serbia and not only fun to listen to and watch, but very talented musicians. I’ve seen them live and highly recommend the experience As I left the kitchen, St James Infirmary was playing And just because...

One out of three, need more field work. Sláinte actually means Health and is used in the sense of drinking to the others health. The English “cheers” really means “thank you” as in thanks for buying the drink, though informally it can be used as thank you for other things between friends. It is often followed by “good health”. Craic really means fun and is often used as a greeting “How’s the craic”. A good answer is “Divil a bit” meaning “not much”. It’s sometimes amusing when asked of English speaking foreigners, since craic is pronounced crack, so “How’s the crack, love?”? Yes not many Irish are fluent, most adults were totally put off it at school, but the current children, mine included speak it reasonably well. I know bits and bats, but I’m only a Plastic Paddy, being born in England and having more than one nationality.

Puretime have a sister site for sales like that. www.watchoutlet01.com I will have a look at the links a little later, I’m a bit busy right now. Damn job getting in the way of hobbies???

Stick around, in eighteen months you will be helping new guys unravel this ball of string.

@Americany13 Any time buddy. TD’s are expected to use actual pictures of the watches they sell, but sometimes they use the same picture for the 2836 and clone versions. If you are looking at TD sites, just post links up here and we will try to help you make sense of what you are seeing and make your own decision

I’ve done it again, at this rate I will be bankrupt! I saw a Daniel Wellington with Roman numerals in a jewellers and thought it looked rather elegant. DW is an interesting brand, from a business point of view there is much to impress, from a horological point of view they are singularly unimpressive. I certainly wasn’t going to pay €250 for a cheap Chinese quartz watch. Off to da gate that evening and I found a rep for beer money. I don’t know DW well enough to know how accurate a copy it is and I’m guessing no WIS does, those that like DW probably don’t obsess over details like a WIS, so I’m golden.

Did you try a,cape cod cloth first?

Broadly speaking the higher the price the better the rep. A clone 2836 is directly swappable with the genuine ETA or any Swiss clone. The big issue is the 2836 places the crown too low on the case. It is up to you to decide if you can live with this. If it were me, I would go with @tframo‘s advice and buy the 3135, then budget another hundred Bucks just in case it died and needed a modder to rebuild it. The V numbers are versions, the A, AA etc is total BS and not worth listening to. Stop for a moment and consider who decides what is only AA and what is AAAAA plus, do you think there is a Chinese board of counterfeit goods that awards and enforces the standard? No of course you don’t ? It is all very baffling at first. We know, we have all been there, but the more you read, you find it slowly starts to make sense Oh and just to help out if you don’t already know A3135 is described as a clone, but it is just an Asian 2836 with rather silly and pointless decoration plates that make it look slightly similar to a Rolex 3135, pointless, because it has a solid case back and anyone that knows enough to be opening the case back isn’t going to be fooled. I despise them SH3135 is physically the same dimensions as the 3135, looks similar, same dial feet position, same hand size etc, but no interchange parts. Found in Noob watches, it was unreliable, but is now reported as much better SA3135 clone of 3135 with the majority of parts interchangeable with genuine Rolex parts, but obviously not of the same quality or finish as Rolex parts, found in BP watches. Actually a BP would be worth considering for this model Generally because of the conditions these watches are built in, the movements are dirty regardless of which movement is bought. Opinions vary, some immediately send a new watch for a service, others run to failure then get it serviced and repaired.

Hello and welcome to our community. See I’m late to the party and you are already asking questions, good for you. We are pretty easy going, just use a bit of common sense as to where to ask a question. Not much point asking a question about Rolex in the Panerai area. General discussion can be a good place. However a good few of us just stream all recent posts, so we pretty much pick up on anything posted anywhere. Oh, and you can always reach out to me or one of the other Mods by PM if you are stuck.
