  1. You could buy a watch from WM9 with a swiss ETA, but there was also WM9's own in house movement KU 24 or the KU 92 cant remember which one, they cost extra if you wanted one fully serviced and decorated. BK could probably explain more.
  2. George's last email to me was on 11 June 2009 letting me know my order postion for the SD, it was 57 and due to be deliverd in September 09. Also in the year 2008 George was selling the yachtmaster with the KU 24 movement inside ( KU family), thanks for the info BK, sad story.
  3. This is what i was saying, why distroy a good watch, put a rep dial in it when you could just buy the rep. They are both the same price nearly.
  4. The rotary above is £69.99,it has a lifetime guarentee if serviced every 3 years they are fully waterproof to 30m and Rotary are swiss made watches and delivery is free. The company started in 1895. Why would you want to buy a watcheden replica at £10 cheaper that would leak water as no guarentee and if it did arrive DOA would cost you P&P to have it fixed. In my opinion the watch above would make a good beater and what a bargain.Also for the up market watch by Rotary, look at Dreyfuss & Co they are the same company.
  5. Over on Timezone there are 5x new valjoux movements for sale at $275 each, listed this morning.
  6. Rolex comes top in superbrand list Watch company Rolex has come top of an annual list of consumer superbrands for the first time. Rolex comes top in superbrand list beating names like Coca-Cola and Google Watch company Rolex has come top of an annual list of consumer superbrands for the first time. The luxury goods firm beat Coca-Cola and internet search giant Google into second and third places respectively. British brands make up half of the top 20, with the Royal Albert Hall, Royal Doulton and Wedgwood rising in the list, voted for in a national survey of 2,000 adults. Stephen Cheliotis, chairman of the Superbrands Expert Council, said: "It is notable that in these difficult times, we are reaffirming our faith in many traditional British brands. "A superbrand is one which constantly delivers excellence and quality, and this year's consumer poll reflects this. "Both the British and international brands included in the official 2012 list are recognised both for their rich heritage and also their continued influence on today's consumers." Mercedes-Benz is in fourth place with the BBC at number five - the sixth year it has been in the top five. For the second year in a row, the Rolls-Royce group was named the top business superbrand. It is one of 11 British firms in the top 20 list, with others including British Airways, the London Stock Exchange and GlaxoSmithKline. The business superbrands are selected by a panel of experts and 1,600 businessmen and women from across the UK. Technology giant Microsoft took 11th place in the business superbrands list. But the brand, along with rival Apple, had fallen out of the consumer superbrands top 10. Apple is now in 18th slot while Microsoft does not feature in the top 20 of
  7. Is the case back made out of some new material STANLESS STEEL, i bet Stan's not to happy.
  8. I dropped and broke my v1 in 2008, i emailed George at wm9 to see if he could fix it. He emailed me an address with a PO box number to post it. The watch came back after about 2 months repaired and a free service. The address was in California.
  9. Perfect Clones, Josh as one advertized tested to 1000m. (so says the discription )$208
  10. 5,6 and 7 indices look to be a different colour,the date wheel looks to far left and if you look at the Rolex rehaut engravings between 10,11 and 12 they dont line up with the seconds ticks. Orange EXPLORER II different colour than the GMT hand, Or is it just me.
  11. What do you think of the Josh 1.1 new updated explorer 40mm, anybody bought one and do you think the indices are now the right colour and not gunmetal gray.
  12. WM9 way back when they was WM7, made a TT blue dial with think gold wrap over brass and solid 18k gold end links, i have one and it still runs as strong as ever purchased in 2000 for $425. The bezel and crown were solid 18k as advertised on thier then web site.
  13. Puretime, type in Tudor and a vintage small rose comes up with 21j movement, for $98, its a start.
  14. Could this friend of yours, be you.
  15. When bleaching a sub bezel, do you just rub bleach on with a q-tip then rinse off or do you dilute and leave it submerged while.
  16. Every time i log on and start to look at the days wristies the next members photo is half covering the one before and at the bottom of the screen it says "done but with errors" anybody else with this problem.

  19. Chinese authorities find 22 fake Apple stores Staff at one fake Apple store in Kunming were dressed to resemble real staffers. Continue reading the main story Related Stories China shuts down fake Apple shopsFake Apple stores found in ChinaChina piracy crackdown 'inconsistent'A total of 22 fake Apple stores have been uncovered in one Chinese city. Authorities in Kunming began searching out the copycats after pictures of one convincing replica were circulated on the web. An early search found five fake stores, two of which were shut down for trading without a licence. Now, according to Chinese trade officials, 22 have been found unlawfully using Apple's brand and logo. The investigation into unauthorised Apple stores in Kunming was brought about when an American living in the city published a blog post describing a visit to one such shop. Describing it as a "beautiful rip-off", BirdAbroad revealed how far the owners had gone to copy the decor and ambience of a real Apple store. Staff also wore the same colour T-shirts as real Apple staffers, and sported lanyards of the same design. The blog post was widely shared around the world and prompted Chinese trade officials in Kunming to take action. The Administration for Industry and Commerce in Kunming said its investigation had unveiled a slew of stores violating Apple's registered trademarks. Staff in the original fake shop believed they were working in a real Apple store The shops have been told to stop using the logos as Chinese laws prohibit copying the "look and feel" of another company without permission. It is not clear whether the shops being reprimanded were selling products sourced from Apple distributors in the country or grey market imports. The Kunming retail watchdog said it would step up its monitoring efforts and set up a hotline through which the public can report unauthorised Apple shops they find.
