  1. Or check out this link, doesn't open the hi-res images for me but it sure is helpfull.. http://mob.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost.../ti-407661/s-0/
  2. Has anybody been able to find some high resolution pictures of the genuine black and silver dial watches? I have looked, but not found anything yet... Please upload some! Cheers!
  3. Oh man, can't wait for your review, I've been waiting a long time to get this keep us posted !
  4. The strap is from The Watch Boys, do a search for Kurt @ TZ, he's listing all kinds of IWC straps and it's a double AR treatment.. @ Yellomen; regarding caseback, I'm doing some testing on a spare caseback to get it nice and evenly brushed , the challenge is to get it perfect round..
  5. @ Pix, it is indeed domed like the genuine :-)))) and thanks for the compliments ! The movement is indeed a gamble, I've been lucky so far and not using the chrono that often...
  6. Just wanted to share some eyecandy from a Portu Laureus I had AR'd by Jakub.. In an old post I showed off my newly AR coated Portu and was amazed by the result. The 3714-04 however doesn't have AR coating -it could pass for the "Miami Vice" special edition, but than the caseback would be all wrong- So I thought a Laureus edition does come with a correct caseback and fitted with a nice AR crystal and a deep blue strap it would be a -almost perfect- killer watch.. as long as the movement holds So, off it went to Jakub for his piece of art and off to TimeZone for a deep blue strap, and here's the result.: hope you like it, I certainly do And a love couple: Images are direct from the camera, only resized....
  7. Try Jurgen at the salescorner @ TimeZone he sells them reasonably priced, your looking for the FC6205. I bought mine a couple of months ago and dealing with him was a pleasure. http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t=tre...16051&rid=0
  8. Still love mine Jakub has done a AR run on my new Laureus Porto...stunning result... I'm getting a deep blue strap from TZ and it will be 99% rep :-) You do need some luck with the movement, but when it runs, it'll be you favourite dress watch I'm sure
  9. I think it's pretty darn close.. except for date mag.. gen: rep:
  10. Heard an interesting story the other day at a local HiFi dealer; I'm also in for an 'upgrade' and here is his point of view: " The war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray will most likely be won by HD-DVD.. Why, 3 reasons; from every 10 Blu-Ray chips Sony produce, 7 will find their way into a PS3, the other 3 will be evenly spread among other player manufacturers plus coding Blu-Ray is cumbersome and expensive. The 'cheaper' alternative is HD-DVD which will be widely adopted by the biggest producers of DVD's... indeed , the porn industry.. same story a few decades ago between VHS and Betamax" If it's true, I don't know, sure is an interesting theory
  11. Well, my comment on your first post is still valid http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=39573&hl=
  12. shameless shameless advertisement and hijacking of this thread :blush: 4th Gen clasp just widening the audience..
  13. Wow! what was the shipping fee.?
  14. Josh says it's blue dial with blue subdials... not enough coffee I guess Link: 2007 Cousteau This looks extremely good, wonder how the lume is... <-sigh-> which one to choose, Tag Aqua or 2007 Cousteau... (I remeber promising myself not to buy another Asian 7750)
  15. Guys, When it comes to gens, I love my Tag's but when it comes to reps, I think you're all WRONG !! Why you ask... Because all of you feel that the "ULTIMATE" Aquaracer or the "BEST" Carrera is as close to a gen you can get these days, well, let me tell you, you've all been fooled and to quote a famous actor " The Best, The Best, Losers whine about their best. Winners go home and f*** the prom queen" there you have it.. So in my search for the Pinnacle of replica watches, I've found the Winner that will put all those "Best" and "Ultimates" in a darker than dark shade Now I know all your PayPal accounts are itching and before my PM box gets flooded with requests : IT IS NOT FOR SALE !! (although I do concider a trade for HBB or SFSO) So, show me the pics.. And to start off with a quick spec list: Movement: genuine quartz 60 ticks per minute - See through Glass - Case: well, euh, it's made out of 100% shiny stuff - Dial: perfectly round in every aspect, with hand applied indices @ EVERY hour (1:1 copy from original) - Correct Date Mag and Font - Case Diameter 34mm - An attention grabber on your wrist!! - Made 1:1 from a Genuine And now the piece the resistance: Caseback shot: Mind the vintage work done on the bracelet, (and imagine the extensive rash on my wrist) Well, what do you think.? I bet that if I send this to TTK and he shoots a couple of pictures of this, people will line up to get one :D bought this on a Tenerife beach stall in '92 and was king of the world : my first Tag rep
  16. impressive collection chrgod ! Love the vintage Carrera, too bad they got stolen, impressive Monza by the way for a quartz, haven't seen these around for a while. My very first rep ever was a Tag as well; a SE/L from the beaches of Tenerife back in '92 , man I was amazed how acurate that looked (little did I know) still have it and will post some pics later..
  17. They've moved to the Hublot website under "fakes" you can order from there serious, could be that Josh has Hublot's attention since they use his pictures on their website...
  18. If this comparison doesn't convince you getting one, nothing will great pictorial thanks !!
  19. Tag... love them :-) Here are a few quick shots from the watchbox 1. Gen Kirium Chrono 2. Gen Heuer Monza Chrono 3. Gen Formula One (don't know what got into me buying that) 4. Rep Carrera (gen Eta 7750 and racing strap )
  20. Anytime, seems that after the so called 'closed factory SMP' there's also a 'closed factory 050' around
  21. 1. 100% NO, i know for a fact. I've bought my first PAM050 from Eddie late 2005 for a mere US$ 450 -talk about prices heh-. that broke last summer, since it was one of my favourites, I bought a replacement from Paul-Mart for US$200+ and was amazed by the differences of the two. -Different type movement (I guess slow beat vs fast beat, not sure but the finish on Eddie's was way better) -Different datefont, horrible on Paul-mart's version but the crystal had a better magnification oddly enough -Case finish waaaay better on Eddie's, 'crisp' edges excellent modelled -no difference on dial printing though -crown guard on Eddie's snaps in like a genuine, Paul-Mart had the floppy lever syndrome and felt flimsy -Eddie's lasted two years, Paul-Mart lasted 4 months..... Fair enough, that was two years ago vs. last summer, a lot of things changed and prices dropped, so has quality and QC. I guess nowdays there are one or two factories out there producing them (sometimes serial numbers are different between the two, could indicate different factories) 2. I think the 050 is still the best out of the box rep you can get.! 3. Send it to The Zigmeister, you can't go wrong with him, you'll be amazed by the result Good luck
  22. Don't get too excited. Got this off the Bay and when I finally received it, it was not exactly what I expected. Before I toss this in the bin, someone might find use for this so if you're interested, let me know, doesn't cost you anything... ** EDIT: it's gone, thanks for viewing **
