    Ladies Chanel J12 Ceramic:______________ 95g

    Rolex Sub (MBW 1680 solid midlinks):_____ 128g

    All mens watches have strap/bracelet adjusted to same length (mostly one link removed)

  2. Hi George.

    Relax.

    You are "The Good George" that are a good rep collector, and you might sometime help members buying a MBW, and everybody know you are OK. :1a:

    The "BAD George" that is mentioned here is the one that is selling "ordinary" Rolex replicas for 3-4 times more than they should cost.

    ( He is delivering the watches as promised, so is not a scammer, it is only the prices and some of his claims about "special handmade" quality people here on the board feel is "wrong")

    He have a "WM9.tv" website where he make "fantastic" claims about how perfect his reps are.

    The guy that started this have bought some watches from "BAD George", not you, and is trying to convince all of us how much better "BAD George's" watches are than any we can get from our "cheap dealers".

    Unfortunately it can easily be a mixup when there are 2 with the name George, and both have something to do with replika Rolex.

    But to you I will only say.

    Have a very happy new year.

  3. Received first # 0823 from Ruby, but it had problems with the movement ( normal functions ok, but chronometer stopped if watch was laying flat. Ran ok if laying on side, but a bit hard to use like that)

    She replaced it without any hassle, and I am now the proud owner of # 0002 :D

  4. OK.

    It's in the oven. (Found a coupe of other dials/watches on the net with same size on the logo, so chances are not TOO bad that it might be original.)

    So one Domino's Frankenwatch coming up in some weeks then, but hold the anchovies :D

    Only to wait for the delivery-boy now.

    For those who are thinking "WHY a DOMINO's Rolex???", it is only that I already have a swiss Daytona, Sub LV, WM's 1680, Yacht-master, 2 datejust ( one franken, one rep ) and just wanted something really DIFFERENT this time :p

    (Have also other brands, PAM 127+187, Breitling Bentley, IWC jones + Portugeese Laureus, PP24 + Chanel J12 for wife)

    And I blame all you (RWI/RWG/TRC) for this. Just 8 months ago I had not had a rep since I got a Rolex "something" in Thailand 20 years ago. ( It was not bad really, automatic and lasted 3+ years with no parts falling off :victory: )

  5. Have the same problem with a 127 ( but mine is a $270 "swiss" version ), and now waiting for the dealer to ship me a replacement CG.

    (He already shipped one, unfortunately the one I got was for a 44mm PAM)

    I know Davidsen sells good CG's, but they might be a bit expensive for a $100 watch.

    Could you post a picture of your GC ?

    If it is good, I might be willing to swap with you :)

    Are you in the US or EU?

  6. Any comments on my SMP "007 special edition" from Ruby?

    Have the HEV in a better position ( Not at 10h position, more like 51-52min position ) and Bezel correctly aligned. :D

    Pearl probably not so good. Swiss ETA.

    "Shop tag" and warranty card was included also.

    On last pic you can see it even have the very small serialnr in place.

    (Ruby took these photos of my watch to confirm that it was one I wanted before shipping it)

  7. Chinese food and Chinese reps sound like a good combination. :wub:

    Count me in for a GTG in Oslo ( Or Bærum, same for me )

    I have already met Dani, but would be interesting to meet some of your other Norwegians (And compare watches )

    Wife already think I am crazy, so would be nice to see that I am not the only one with this "problem" :Jumpy:

  8. Hi all.

    I bought the SMP 007 special edition ( 40 years of 007) from Ruby at RWI.

    The HE valve is in the correct position ( about 51-52min position) and the bezel is correctly aligned.

    (But pearl is bad)

    Is supposed to have swiss movement. ( Looks correct for me, but I am no expert. I know it keeps good time :D )

    Here are some pics of my watch. ( Is the ones Ruby takes before she ships it to you so you can confirm it is what you want )

    As you can see from the last pic it even have the small serialnr in place.

  9. I must admit I expected to get the E0581 case, but I know Jay tried hard to get me a watch with sapphire crystal ( This was what the PANS081 was supposed to have when I ordered and paid )

    As everyone probably remember the 581 had some issues with sapphire or mineral crystal, so in the end I agreed that with a discounted price Jay would send me a 127 with swan neck, but mineral crystal.

    So guess he just was able to get this E0117 case. Must admit I dont mind. As long as I plan to change the crystal anyhow, I dont think there is any big difference between 117 and 581 case.

    Btw. Jay will send me a new correct CG. so everything is good.

    Silix may be slow sometimes, but always good service in the end. :D

  10. Yes. Aware of the "level" wrong way for a 127. Have mailed silix about it. ( Btw. seems like this is an easy error to make. Pam are changing the direction all the time. the 203 have the level "my way" and probably several other models also ).

    Planning to get the "high cannon pin"+hands+dial (All with new superluminova C3) + Sapphire crystal from Davidsen soon :)

  11. Just wanted to show you all what you get if you order the fiddy from silix-prime (pans081).

    Since it is cheap, but have a weird description I think some of you have been a bit hesitant to order (I know I was, since glass is described as "plexi-glass" etc)

    What I got was the "standard" 117 case with mineral glass, and this is really what I hoped for.

    Strap is acceptable thick, and not TOTALLY terrible.

    So here are the pics:
