I just got my first rep (White SFSO - Asian) and now I am trying to decide what my collection will be. I'd love to have some comments, suggestions and advice. For the white face watch I'm quite happy with the SFSO, but I'm considering on buying the Swiss SFSO. Is it worth upgrading to the Swiss ETA if I already have the Asian in the same color? Anyone have both? For the black face watch I'm torn. I was thinking of getting either the TAG Carrera or Omega Seamaster Pro Chrono. Which watch do you think is more elegant? I really like both of them. I'd like something "sporty" but it should go well with a suit or business dress. For the blue face I am considering getting the TAG Carerra, but only if the black face is the Omega Seamaster. I'd like this watch to be the most casual. In case I get the black TAG Carerra what is another blue-face watch that would fit the bill?

Thanks. Yeah I'll go ahead and do that. I didn't realize that it was a common problem- I wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong (using the wrong size link).

I adjusted the strap myself and I'm having a problem with the screws. It seems that every other day or so the screws on some of the links become loose no matter how tight I screwed them in. I've already lost one screw and I'm sure I'm going to loose another one (or worse) one of these days. Anyone have any idea whats wrong? Is it possible I put the wrong size link in place? The screws all seem to be of equal length and they are not stripped out so it can't be that. Thanks..

Just curious - what are you guys paying to cover shipping?

ok I decided that I want to get my Asian SFSO crystal treated with AR by K2222. Can someone tell me how exactly I remove the crystal? Are there any pictures of it being done? Do I just unscrew the bezel? Any help with this would be great... Is it something that is safe for me to do myself?

Ok so say I forget the lume, isn't it still more economical to get it AR'd by the guy thats doing it on here? Think it was 55$ + shipping. I'd like to see how it compares to the Gen AR. Anyways, since I got the white asian the lack of AR isn't that apparent. I think I'll be going for the black/blue Swiss SFSO.

I received my Asian SFSO (White face) last weekend from Silix. Overall, very, very pleased with it. It's my first rep and it really exceeded all of my expectations. But now that I've had it for a few days the fact that it doesn't have AR is starting to bug me. Not in a functional way, but just knowing that anyone who knew about the watch could detect it as a rep in a second because of the lack of AR. Has anyone given their SFSO crystal to the guy that is advertising AR-coating here? How is the result compared to the Gen? What are my other options? Can I order a genuine crystal from anywhere? Is there a tutorial on how to remove the crystal? Is it something I can do myself without too much risk? Are there steps anywhere on the site? I've looked but couldn't find any. The other thing that bothers me a bit is the lume. On the 11th hour mark the lume is applied a bit sloppy and it actually can be seen by the naked-eye. Probably not to the casual-viewer but certaintly by me Also the lume just doesn't last long. I charge it under a bright light for a few minutes, and it shines really brightly for few minutes, but within about 20 minutes or so it just doesn't shine. I know this is normal for reps, so I don't blame it as a defect, just cheaper manufacturing process. How much does it cost to get a lum-job done by The Zigmeister? And has anyone ever had a SFSO done? All in all I'm happy with the watch, the AR is the only thing thats really bothering me, but I just didn't think that the Swiss was worth almost 3X the price of the Asian. I was also very happy with the service, contact and overall experience with Silix. He sent me a great bonus watch (his sale) it's a TAG Carrera (4 subdial, cream face, with black leather strap). The watch is nice for what it is, but to me it also is a bit of an obvious rep. Regardless, I've already received a couple compliments on it

My first order is about to arrive from Silix! . Asian SFSO White face + Random TAG for $20 (sale) I ordered about two weeks ago, but it didn't ship until last week because the first watch didn't pass QC. Now according to EMS shipping it released from customs at midnight last night in Prague (3 hours drive from my city). I'll be really happy to get it today so I can wear it out partying tonight - Friday night in Prague If not I'll have to wait till monday and just wear it to work. I know there is a lack of reviews/pics of the Asian SFSO with white face. A lot of people are interested in it because of the great price and supposedly less noticeable lack of AR. I'll post some pics when I get it, also some pics of the random TAG. I'm really crossing my fingers because I forgot to specify to Silix that I wanted a men's watch. I don't know what I'll do with a womans replica, especially a lower-quality one. If I give it to a girl I'm dating then she'll know that my watch is a rep also If I'm happy with the Asian SFSO, I'll be ordering a blue or black Swiss ETA from Silix as soon as he gets them in.
