  1. I took the "cousins" out for some pictures. My very first watch pictures ever as a matter of fact (with the exception of a wrist shot or two). I posted it in the Rolex section since I don`t really think it qualifies as "eye candy".

    A Pepsi dial GMT II and a blue dial TT BKMariner. I had to hide my lack of talent with a Photoshop action. Hopefully I`ll learn as I go so I won`t have to always do that.

    The GMT has some overgrown CGs, but otherwise I`m not familiar enough with the model (+ I`m very much a Noob) to spot the flaws which I`m sure are there. In any case, it has a good feel to it and is my favorite watch along with the BKMariner which of course needs no introduction.

  2. Hi i'm new to this. Just bought a similar one. I'm actually new at all of this. I"ve been interested in watches for years. I'm finally getting into the replicas. Anybody have an advice or resources look at to really understand how this works and what to look for.

    Thanks.

    Absolutely. This forum :D!

    Welcome!

  3. My AV is a close up of one of my turtles. I keep freshwater turtles as a hobby. My main interest is snakenecked turtles from AustralAsia. The turtle in the picture is "Nessie", a female Indonesian snakeneck (Macrochelodina rugosa). I founded International Snakeneck Owners Club about a year ago and am running its website www.snakenecks.com

  4. I went through that stage myself & it makes sense with some watches, but not Daytonas. Vintage Daytonas are thoroughbreds, as pure as a Ferrari Daytona. As you learn more about these iconic watches & your experience level increases, you will change your mind. Trust me on this, I have been there. And just about everyone else who has been there will tell you the same thing.

    I AM of course only saying this to pull your leg, but you are telling us that ignorance is bliss? lol

    For the record, I do agree with you and appreciate your insight immensely.

  5. Thank you for your really interesting replay llsteve80 !

    Are there nothing on the market jet ready out of the box ?

    Do a search for 6263. There`s quite a few threads discussing that watch. Personally, I think Perfect Clone`s new version is a decent rep at an affordable price out of the box.

  6. I'm thinking of turning the MBW I just bought into a two tone sub. No biggie, right? I wish. I want at least a solid gold band on it, don't really care if it's 10k, 14k or 18k, as long as I get a good deal. Where can I pick these up for reasonable prices? $400 seems too much for me.

    I guess a gen bezel won't fit, what can I do about that besides put a plated one on there? (I hate plated)

    Crown is easy.

    I would rather have a black/gold dial than the blue, is there a TT noob dial out there?

    If I do need blue, is the noob color ok?

    Clasp would have to be rep for the logo, or gen if I could find one that I'd be willing to buy.

    Seems like a big pain in the ass if you ask me, do you think it's worth it?

    It sounds like a lot of trouble when selling the 16610 and buying a 16613 s an option. On the other hand, going through the "trouble" might be an enjoyable experience since mixing, matching and general modding is part of our hobby, right?
