  1. no problems and welcome. it should take about 2-3 weeks. if you are really new to the rep world then you need to learn patience. the quality will be most likely awesome because I ordered form Sead/supermirrors. I ordered several times from him and he wont even send a watch that he has not tested. there are other very trustworthy dealers here or repgeek.com but I only dealt with sead in the past. if you are in the US i suggest you try him.
  2. hi no split minute chrono as far as i know and no titanium aquatimer apart from the GST 40mm. if you are thinking about the yellow/black titanium, thats the one i wanted but could nt find it in TI. it is available in stainless steel from the dealers here. I was hesitating for a long time between the cousteau divers 2006 and the "slevin" and finally ordered the CD a week ago from supermirros/sead from repgeek.com. there are many comparison and review discussions about the various aquatimers. the CD's and slevin are all great replicas so you should nt be disappointed regardless of your choice. good luck and let us know
  3. Hi I was sondering if they ever did the Slevin in Titanium?
  4. Hi everyone. here are some pics of the galapagos i picked up in Canal street last tuesday. I think it is the same that is available from the various dealers. not sure though. It s obviously quartz. The 9 o clock sub dial should be the second hand as it is on the gen. unfortunately on the rep the 9 oclock subdial is the elapsed minute counter (wrong terminology sorry). though not the best to tell if a watch has AR coating, I believe this one does. can somebody confirm? only 60 bucks so not too bad obvisouly it is not flawless, you can even see the differences on the magazine in the background. maybe they ll get it better. I wonder why they did not do it with an A7750
  5. read this and welcome. might not have everything you want to know but a good strating point http://www.rwg.cc/members/Care-feeding-Manual-wat-t2715.html
  6. covered in soil?. is that a metaphor I am not grasping because I speak the language of Moliere and not Shakespeare's ? I live in aventura btw
  7. I was expecting such a reaction. I am really sorry if I offended you in any ways (though you clearly don't mind implying that I am stupid inelegant bigot: bellicosity, even when expressed eloquently is still bellicosity).I thought I was careful enough with the choice of my words to reflect my objectivity.
  8. I studied in both the American and the French education systems. Several degrees in both. For all the gold in the world, I will never allow a kid I care for to study in the American education system. At least before the university. When I took Physics 101 in college in the US, I had already covered the discussed topics between the age of 12 to 17-18 in France. electricity, mechanics, optics, geology, chemistry, Relativity, geography, WORLD history, geopolitics,economics, Philosophy, Literature, etc... were not optional. By the time I turned 15, I was already familiar 2 foreign languages. again, not optional. Thats why I know a little bit about the economics of Brazil or the historical past of china, Russia or the middle east. No multiple guess tests either. It was all either essay type tests or problems in maths or physics. you miss the first answer and your whole problem is wrong, you might still get points for reasoning. If I remember well, School was roughly from 8 to 5 with wednesday afternoon off. About 3.5 hours of maths, 5 hours of english, 1.5 hours of physics, 1.5 hours of natural sciences, 1.5 hours of technological sciences, 3 hours of PE (some schools :5), 1 hour of music, 1 hour of arts, 3 hours of history/ geography. 3 hours of german or spanish or japanese or italian, 4 hours of French. Thats a pretty busy schedule. and after shcool, most schools required us to study 2 hours every night. Several of my American friends, who are nevertheless smart and had good results in school, don't know anything about the cold war for example. I didn t go to high school in the usa, only college. Therefore I can only judge from I heard, saw in college. My first experience was in a community college, then a public university followed by a private university. I didn t see much of a difference. I am certainly not saying that everybody in France is a Nobel Prize of Physics (who is French this year BTW), as shown by the somber idiot in youtube. I am not saying that the French education system is perfect either. I am just saying that if I had the choice, I ll send my kids to a French (or European) middle/high school rather than to an American counterpart.
  9. whats the function of the dial at 9 o clock? I assume second hand, but then why a 7750 movement since it doesn't appear to have any chronographs
