bezel numerals and generally bad, case much too shiny, hands and lume generally bad, white rolex font bad, crown incorrect, swiss t<25 also incorrect, no?

is there any way of getting a patek 2499 rep anywhere? Have seen one on jewelryandwatch, but the guy is not responding to inquiries. Modifying a valjoux 23 to look like the real deal.....unlikely? any input, etc. appreciated, Robbie

hi Neil, ur inbox is full, I would love to get one of those, just drop me a pm, cheers, Robbie

I was not being rude, i was speaking my mind. If someone asks questions after a bit of research, then thats all fine and good, but if my 3rd post was: "hey, give me 98 percent accuracy", then i am being a bit hasty...... No offence meant to you, its just that had you had a look around, I am sure you could have brought out more specific questions thta could have resulted in more specific and helpful answers. Good luck, unfortunately except for the nautilus by mbw, all patek fakes are just not good enough to date. robbie

well, sorry, i could have given you advice on at least 84% accurate top notch pateks, but 90, oh no, 90 is where it gets difficult................ Man, chill out and READ on the board before posting such ridiculous crap.....

man, do you have to work on your humour!!!!!

sorry, just dont get the hype over these in my opinion hugely ugly Doxa watches. The design is sooo antiquated, you can pick up near same examples from lesser known watch brands form the 70

Hi, I have an original for sale, pm me

I am aware that getting an original dial is impossible, but a good aftermarket dial will do the trick for me. Paul newman dials are on the market, but i am looking for a non PN dial with the gold subdials.

hi guys, I need help in sourcing a dial. Am looking for a 6263/6265 dial for a v72 full gold project. I am looking for a black dial with gold subdials. the matching hands would also be nice:) If anyone can help, please let me know, cheers, Robbie

well, there we go, thats the one i was talking of! I am not a huge buff on these 5513

hi guys, have gotten an offer of a 5513 movement cal. 1520 servied with an orig non tritium dial for 950 euros? take it or what? advice appreciated, Robbie

actually, its not a woman.....its a guy in a latex suit! (little Britain....a COMEDY show, you know, when people laugh about things.....oh, sorry, forgot...) I will pray for your souls to be rescued.....

hi guys, a few days ago i saw a 6241 on Honpo´s site, does anyone know how to get in contact with them and have experience with them? isnt there something about only shipping in japan or so? Ive lost the webaddress, could someone provide me with it? cheers, Robbie

yup, we ´ll see about that:), hell, I´m sure your gut is bigger than mine too.............

well, pugwash, there ya go, your gut was better than mine!!!damn, could have sworn..................

ps. My gut tells me this is a gen PP.

is it available as of now?

Feel free! I did explain, if you had read my reply properly, that i viewed several levels of finish quality on the Pam 111H, and the one i bought was better quality than others that had glued on bridges, etc. I did not CLAIM it was swiss, I said i presumed it was and i sold the watch without having stated it was 100 % guaranteed swiss. I would like to see you keep your cool on all movements after looking at 1000 watches! anyway, I have seen watchsmiths that have worked for Rolex or IWC for a long time get fooled by reps, and even the large auction houses with loads of experience ( especially antiquorum comes to mind ) have made many a large mistake in the past. Its an open secret that a Patek ref. 130 in steel sold at Antiquorum with an unusual dial layout was an outright fake, one that cost the buyer quite a sum of money! sooo, as i said, it is just my 2 cents, I am not asking anyone to take what i said for the holy truth.....

Hi Corgi, I work with Patek Philippes from time to time and I can pretty much guarantee that your watch is indeed not a PP. Sorry, but even in the old Pateks which were unsigned, in the period between Patek&CZA and Patek Becoming Patek Philippe, the regulating bridge (not sure if this is the right expression in english) was decorated. The finishing of the movement is suspect to me, and I believe the dial print is wrong too. I would be very interested to know the outcome of this, as i am as i said pretty sure its not an original, no offence!!! Yet, even if this watch WERE an original, it would fetch around 1000-1700 US, so its not worth considering a sale, and i am sure it is a prized possesion! All the best, Robbie

here just a small box of my collection, the rest has to be picked up at the bank, will post pics of those soon! one is a genuine Tudor (yuk!), a present, the gold watch on strap was my first watch, bought it on a flea market for 5 marks when i was 12!

white with gold/blue. in the other version the blue is too prominent, while the gold colour is correct and the blue does not stand out as much.

OK, here some pics of the IWC Portugieser and the Rolex Daytona, the rest is in the trade section!

@masterluke: I mean the valjoux Portuguese, not the asian autos. I was primarily referring to the outer appearance of the watch, havent (knock on bloody wood!) as yet had problems with the watch, although the rotor is very loud, and you can feel the spinning of the rotor as you wear it. I am however not too alarmed, as my mates genuine P does pretty much the same, albeit a little quieter. heck, i paid a little less for mine, so what the hell!
