I would like to get one of river's IWC 3717 Christmas special and would like to know if it is the same as the latest iwc 3717 from other dealers. I hope to hear from someone soon before ordering. Here is the link:http://etaya.boo.jp/hon/1203-iwcss.jpg

i have heard quite often about this Phong character, how do i contact him. where do i see his offers? $500 sound good to me so count me in and keep us posted please

two weeks is a long time for me.

PATS go PATS:

Yes more info please. I would like to buy a "seconds-at-12" AP ROO too.

How much does it cost anyway?

you don't actually appreciated the watch until you have one in your hand. I got mine and it is every nice watch and it is very light. The gold plating suppose to be 5mil thick. Here are the pictures (from the watch that i am selling for a friend that we purchased together)

@subzero1 - Very nice HBB indeed. I have to sell my soul to buy one and i wonder how much does it cost? Can i see the caseback picture please?

@Pix - Very nice watch indeed and i would like to buy one too. May i have a seller info too please.

I am wearing this today: and Saturday:

My definitioln of 1:1 is the exact copy of the original (maybe except the movement). Up to date there is no 1:1 copy of rep that i know of. I wish the dealer stop using that term although they are using it right now for their marketing hype and reasonning for charging high price.

Running second at 3. Is it reliable?

I am interested in one of your AP ROO volcano? Just PM'ed you for the price info

i am wearing my SSD today:

I am totally agreed with By-tor but i would like to add some of my personal opion: For me a rep is always a rep no matter how much mods and money spent on it. At the later time down the road and maybe you are no longer thinking highly of it anymore due to your changes of style and thinking. At that point you want to be able to sell it at good price or get as much money back as posible your invested money. So Who did the modding is also important in my opion. Anyone who has enought tools can mod a watch but the end result differed from one modder to the other and the nicer the mods done to it the better resale value the rep is. I have never puchased one modded rep before and i don't think i will later neither. I don't belive in spending over $500 or more on modding the watch and when buying rep, i am looking at the rep to gen cost ratio and i am staying below 10%. Rigth now i am only buying replica watches that i think i would never be able to afford or never to pay for the retail price. If a replica costs about 1/5 of the used gen, then i buy gen instead but i am willing to wait longer. Therefore, my collection up to now only have a few (1 super SD as my daily beater, 1 rolex daydate, 1 rolex daytona, 2 HBB and 1 Dewitt is comming) and i rotate my rep very often. I have 2 gen (1 gmt master II and 1 po 42mm) and i don't wear them often anymore. Well that is my 2 cents.

I am having my day-date on today:

They all have them listed in their photo album instead for legality issue. You can check trusty album througth the dealer section. One of his for sale post has the link to his photo album.

This will be my next and hopefully by then the AP Chrono with second at 12 is out. Very nice review and pictures indeed. Congratulation.

UB7- I agreed with you. And avitt can count me in for two. I can't justify $300 for a ceramic bezel.

this is HBB weekend (ice bang saturday and gold mat sunday: Go Pats Go)

yes it does.

I am still longing for the rosegold and ceramic bezel like yours Tom. But at the price that they asked i won't be able to afford it. I hope someone pull the trigger on the cheaper one which made by the second maker adn share their opion.

Here are my pair:

Here is my pair of HBB (Ice bang and gold mat) (I have 1 H screw driver that i won't be used)

It liked it a lot. It doesn't look that bad on the wrist compare with the blingy one.
