So, I finally decided to pull the trigger on a gen, and after much considerations, I decided on the moonwatch. I looked for a watch that I could justify buying a gen instead of settling with a rep. A watch that hasn't been replicated very well, and would have a significant history and a soul. Oh, and if possible, that wouldn't cost more than 3000$....

I had exactly that same thought process- but ended up with a PO 45.5 instead. Love the Moon watch though- love to see them on leather too. Enjoy it!

yep, pbdad is magic. Nice watch man- that came out really nice. wear it well.

Yours is just right Dizzy.

Are you guys removing the bezel, or just the insert? Could you just put some tape over the crystal and dip while the watch is assembled or are there ill effects on the crystal?

whoooaaaa- those are ridiculous! This confirms whats next on my wish list.

That makes sense. My buddy has been watching Trusty's site religiously, waiting for that model to show up.... figures, he'd find a scam site.

I am looking for a Rep Bell & Ross BR03-92 Phantom- 42mm. I have looked everywhere and can not find a good one. Anyone have any idea or information where I can get one. The ones I have found Were PVD bit the Numbers on the dial were grey not dark enought to pull off the look of the real phantom. Thanks.

Have you seen this? No idea about this site- but a friend of mine is hot for a B&R Phantom and sent this to me this morning:

Hey Hooch

All 3 of mine die or stop running around 1:30 AM , the movement from the date changing over eats up the power reserve even when in the winder ..

Issues with mine are starting to show now after 3 weeks of ownership. its been on my wrist daily and I have no winder- but when i come home from work, I take it off and put it on the counter with my phone, keys and wallet- say around 6pm. If I do not put it back on the wrist by 6:30 am, its dead. I even moved the date change to happen at 12pm on my watch so it happens at noon instead of midnight.

Even before I got it, I knew this might not be the most reliable movement - so I contacted The Zigmeister to figure out how to get into his list, price, etc- then I bought an ETA PO so I had a pretty suitable back up....

I'll assume that a decent cleaning and oiling of this movement should take care of my issues.... I hope.

This is the thing, initially, I thought that 'black watches' were the way to go in terms of smart, but, the coloring of the bezels of the SMPs showed me differently

TeeJay, I couldn't have said it better. When I started looking at reps, it was all about the black. When I finally purchased a few, I have yet to buy a black one- although, the black UPO on a black strap has made it to my list. However, the blue IMO makes the best looking watch for my taste.

I was on the fence for this vs. the UPO and the chrono just sucks me in- but after seeing your pics, they pushed me over the edge. Hope mine arrives in 5 days.... and hope mine is solid out of the box.

cheers-

I've tried to upgrade my membership also, but still on hold. To answer specifically, no- us noobs can't see collector area yet.

Great site though- amazing how much I've learned in a few days here... scary amounts of info though. Want to make my first transaction an informed one- nice to have found a resource like this place.
