I just received a very nice Ladies Tag Link from Andrew and am well pleased with everything about the transaction. The model I ordered is the Stainless with light blue MOP dial and diamond markers. It is a very stunning elegant ladies sport watch. My lady friend was very impressed with the beauty and quality. The bracelet is extremely well made and the dial is quite unique and lovely. The blue changes shades and colors under different lights and at different angles. I also like the fact that it is a quartz movement. My experience is that women like quartz better than automatic or hand wind movements. I know that's a generalization, but one made from wide experience. As always Andrew's communication and service were outstanding. It is truly a pleasure to work with him. If you are looking for a very nice sport watch at a good price for a lady in your life, you cannot go wrong with this model from the Trusty Watch Guy, Andrew.

Just received mine today from Andrew-Asian version. 0ne week from order to receipt in US Midwest! Beautiful watch, great service from Andrew and a terrific value. I can't wait to show my watch repair guy and get his opinion, especially on the movement.

Dr. King was presented with the Gold Rolex when he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. My cousin bought the exact same watch in 1967 in Hong Kong while he was there on R & R from Viet Nam. He paid about $2,000 for his-a fortune back then. I always lusted for it. It was my inspiration for getting into Reps. I should have studied harder like he did...or won a Nobel Prize like Dr. King But then, I wouldn't have gotten to know all of you Replica Guys.

Regarding tools-a few years back I purchased one of those Swiss Army type knives that is designed for watch repairs and adjustments. It was advertised in one of the common Watch Magazines. I think I paid about $100 for it. Anyway, it has some very small screw driver heads which worked well on the Nautilus Bracelet.

I ordered my Patek Nautilus Jumbo from Andrew on Dec. 19 at 8:30 PM EST and received it at my home in the US Midwest on Dec. 24 at 1:30 PM. This was my 10th order from Andrew and his service was, as usual, outstanding. Let me begin by saying that I won

Very nice. I look forward to seeing how the ceramic bezel from Angus looks and fits. I've thought about buying a gold one and putting a ceramic bezel on it. Yours looks pretty darn good as is.

I just read that OJ Simpson has been ordered by a judge to turn over his "Rolex" Watch to Fred Goldman, the father of the man he supposedly murdered. OJ has said that he paid $125 for the Submariner and has handed it over to his attorney for delivery to Goldman. The lawyer was quoted as saying, "if it's a fake, it's a good fake." My bet is that it is a fake, but not a very good one.

Gee Neil, don't sugar coat it. If you don't like the guy, just come out an say so.

If those are your concerns then buy the Silix version. I have had one for over a month and it is my new favorite. You won't be disappointed.

I love it! I have copied the picture and sent it out to several friends telling them this is my new watch. The scary thing is that some of them believed me!

Personally, I think the Steel Fish and Evolution are ugly watches. But I am not a Breitling fan. On the other hand my latest and upgraded Black VCO rep with an ETA movememt is beautiful. IMHO. It may not be a perfect rep, but I can certainly live with the one visible flaw-the shiny numbers (which aren't all that shiney, just not brushed). The accent mark over the second E in Geneve is a non starter to me because it is not visible without a magnifying glass. For less than $280, it's a bargain. So I would rather have a rep of a beautiful watch that is 95-98% accurate than a 100% accurate rep of a watch that I personally don't think is attractive.

Damn! The more I see this watch, the more I like it. Now if only I could afford one. Story of my life. Wear it well!

I am now on my second new and upgraded Black Dial VCO from Silix. I purchased it soon after reading the extensive Trhead started by Richard Tracy last month. My first one died because of moisture that somehow seeped into the dial and movement. I believe it was caused by a defective screw down crown that was discussed by Austin and me in another Thread. Jay replaced my dead VCO very quickly and it has been running flawlessly for 10 days. Regarding the screws, my experience varied between the two different watches. The first one had to be re-sized by my local watch repair guy. When I had problems with the movement he took the back off and that too was a struggle. He wasn't able to get it running again, but he did confirm that the movement was an ETA 2824, just as advertised. When I received the replacement from Jay, I was able to re-size the bracelet using my cheap old tools-no problem for a rank amature. So I guess this screw problem can depend on the particular watch. As far as the mirror finish goes, mine is at least 95% spot on. The end pieces are perfect. The polished parts between the links are excellent on the wide sections that you see when looking down at the watch on your wrist. When I take it off and look at it closely with the naked eye the finish is still silky smooth. When I take the watch off and closely examine it at the center polished parts, some of them are a little rough while others are smooth. Of the 17 links, only 5 show any roughness at all. The good news is that you do not notice these while the watch is on the wrist. Like I said they are only noticeable when the watch is off and inspected under a direct light. Note: this is th every latest upgraded model VCO and cost me $278 shipped via EMS, so maybe the old saying about "getting what you pay for" applies here. One other observation, I expected it to look larger. I think that is because I am used to the thicker sport and diver watches like Panerai, IWC and Rolex Subs and Daytonas. The case on the VCO is substantially thinner that those watches. My first impression wasn't a similarity to a Citizen, but rather a Seiko-mainly because of the thin case. But make no mistake, whether it's your cup of tea or not, this is a truly outstanding replica and my 30+ other watches have just stayed in their display boxes since this one arrived.

I removed a link in mine with minimal hassel. My tools and skills are very average.

To my eyes, the surface between the links looks pretty darn smooth. I guess if I used a magnifying glass or a loop I might tbe able to see some "roughness" but I choose not to do that. 99.9% of the population of the world wouldn't notice...IMHO.
