Go for it. How about selling watches in the country you live in. Open a website, get an anonymous phone, make advertisements. And make sure you know the customs regulations and make your smart way to get the watches in the country. Not many people know their way to the Chinese dealers you know... And find a different dealer than the ones on this board. Or one who can safely ship 8-9 watches at a time. Cheers, J.

Try a dealer. you will get a new glass with case for less that 50usd. cheers. J.

you have to become a RWG supporter to be able to read it. RWG > RWG WIki > The Zigmeister

If top dollar is no big deal for you, maybe you can send Eurotimez an email to order it and pay a bit extra. If i remember correctly, the hassle of always having to check & test each watch individually was too time consuming and too costly. maybe if you can pay for that effort, you will have yourself the watch you wanted. good luck my friend. Cheers, J.

Sometimes i take the watch case in my one hand and very gently 'slam' it with my other hand in my palm. then it will get out. What you can also do is use a tiny screwdriver to create some leverage. Just make sure afterwards that no small particles are left, by using the small hand Bergeon blower to get the dust etc off.

Hi D, please don't get me wrong, but don't you think it is wise to let a watch smith take the glass out? I mean if you never opened up a watch, and you did not know what the chrono reset lever was and could not take the crown off, i think getting the glass out, is a little bit too much. Probably the movement is also anchored to the watch case by 2 or 3 screws. I think it needs some skill and the right tools to get the glass off. A watch smith can do this very easily and maybe charge you 20usd max. Saves you the risk of breaking your glass or the movement. Just my 2 cents.... J.

Jeroen, you never know for sure. when the 28.8 are not available, the factory will easily put the 21.6 in. And if the dealer does not open the watch, he will not know. happened to me with a Cartier Santos 100 Chrono.

Hi, once i also had this problem, when trying to get it out in winding position. I put it in time setting position. And then pressed the release. Easily got it out. and later also managed to get it in again. good luck. J.

Hi Luca, welcome! I am from Holland: 3-0!!! @Plaifender: woooo... ur italian is so good.

The tourbillon might be a complicated piece or art, but maybe it is possible for a watch smith to give the movement a good service which will work as prevention? He does not need to take apart the balance [censored] with tourbillon to clean and oil the other parts right?? Just my 2 cents.. Cheers, J.

Give the man some time to respond... If you read his post he wrote that ACCORDING to his WATCHSMITH. So maybe he should let that guy look at the pictures. And probably is Euro Timez not only busy reading on this forum the whole weekend, but hopefully sourcing nice watches for the members of RWG...

Crystal for which 1950? What is the type. Sometimes it is more easy to just buy a new case including a glass. Saves lots of trouble and if you know how to get the movement out, it can be done in 5-10 minutes. Cheers, J.

Hi, did you get the 192 from a dealer or from a member? That one is still on my list....

Actually, the AR is very good on this watch. Even better than the AR on the IWC Aquatimers i have. Also the rubber strap smells like vanilla. (bad smell anyways, i prefer no smell at all) Actually I bought the watch for someone else. He will not keep it, but luckily he knows someone who wants it. Lucky me... But I saw the differences in the post of M.P. That one is perfect indeed. Is there also a correct version of this similar: Chopard on Watchluxus Cheers. going to eat now. Pizza guy rang doorbell.

The one I have here has a solid case back. So that part is ok. But yes, i also saw some pictures at dealers' websites having the open see-through caseback. Actually, the 'inferior' version looked quite nice, but it is just not 1:1. The AR coating is amazing. I held it side by side with a IWC Aquatimer AR coating, underneath a strong lamp. And the Chopard had much better AR.

Purchased a Mille Migla GT XL Chrono. I ordered the grey looking dial version, but i got somewhat different dial color. It looks more silver. I hope if one of the members can confirm if this is a correct version of an existing watch or if this one is way off. I paid 400usd. I also read the post of Lanikai: Posting of Lanikai And also saw the post of Mickey Padge: Post of Mickey Padge Please have a look at the watch I received, picture is in the attachment. (do not know how to make a direct link) Thanks for looking, J.

will do that buddy. thanks.

Ok. The pictures are not from the seller himself. So then the seller is using pictures of a gen. Because the advertisement text are referring to a high grade replica: 1:1, sapphire, 'real' swiss ETA, etc. So that is even worse... I thought only Eurotimes had acces to solid gold parts of the Rolex reps.

These are the same advertisement with similar text which earlier were advertised under the name 'Chris' if I remember correctly So it is a bit weird. On the one hand it is said that it cannot be guaranteed that it is 100% solid gold, but in the back door it is still being sold... Hopefully it is old stock. Other wise it really makes you think...

Espentan, do you have hands on experience with a SS strap on the PAM253? That would be so great!!! Looking forward to your reply. J.

In The Netherlands on the auction site 'marktplaats.nl' still the 'solid gold' Rolex watches are sold for over 1100usd. I am not sure, but the advertisement surely looks like the ones Chris used to make there.... Hopefully it is just old stuck, but who knows.......

I lost 7 watches in 2 shipments with Andrew, just in 1 month, due to customs. He replaced all for new ones, without me paying extra. And all arrived. You decide.

Hi guys, i suggest you take a look at RWG / Trading Zone / Watch collectors Galleries / Andrew from Trustytime.com is a good dealer and the CD 2007 should cost around 315 usd. No more. with A7750, sapphire, AR coating. depending on where you live, ask him if he guarantees delivery due to the customs. Hope you enjoy the forum and soon become Supporters as well. Good luck.

Btw, the rubber strap of the PAM253 replica is not of a good quality. It attracks a lot of dust. Like having a dessert on your wrist sort of speak. The strap of a submersible, like the PAM187 is better. Or buy a good leather strap. Even better.

Hi Keith, you might look on Andrews site, trustytime.com
