Hey amk, did you ever find that Montblanc agenda?

Another one bites the dust

@ repaustria

You do best replika of Maria, A++++ qualitat!

@ repaustria

I used to read Maria's posts out loud at home and we would have tears rolling down our faces.

Maria or how ever you want to call him is a member, that's correct, and lives in Thailand. If you want to know if you are dealing with Maria - just lsiten closely - his english is damn funny to read.

Yess Mr. repaustria you are funny guy, I like you.

Know this

MariaBest Watch is only best watches, you pay big money alle else is china street garbage

Only Maria give qualitat A++++ it is true.

I have been machining replica for 10 jahrs, I am worhld famous.

OK enough talk now

Best Wische

Euno, I forgot to mention - that rivet strap is beyond reproach - perfect match to the watch.

Oh God this is like a bad acid flashback for me - a long, long time ago when Maria was actually an active forum member on TRC (imagine that) and accessible as hell, I ordered a bunch of watches from him. Well guess what? Almost every one had some minor defect or another out of the box. Yes believe it.

So I remember him saying to me in my post-purchase e-mails "you americans ask too much, how come members from german forum never have any problem with my product?"

Shudder. Things got real ugly after that.

Anyway, I somehow managed to sort things out in my favor with M but boy he is an absolute [censored] to deal with.

Those were the days.

Yo Vic I've been around, just nothing much to say I guess.

How are ya? Decide on that IWC yet? I'd get the rose gold/black dial Port = pure sex. If you look at any watch mags lately RG/black is very fashionable.

Who is Ola?

Very nice, Euno. Your patience paid off handsomely.

I wish I could own a car like that, but I wouldn't know where to even begin.

Congrats on your first rep!

You seem like a detail oriented kind of guy, give us a full review after you get it.

Oh, and photos are mandatory

Just remarkable, The Zigmeister!

Thanks so much.

OK, color me clueless but which new reps other than the Bentley have secs @ 3?

Also, how would this movement work with a Daytona? (secs @ 6 or 9)

Very, very nice Euno!

Please tell us more about the car - you had a 7 Series before this, yes?

I just had a wave of nostalgia rolll over me - this was my first rep almost 4 years ago, from Sean, still love it. Mine may be from the famous closed factory.

Anyway, mine has dark blue fill in the bezel markers, not black.

Yours is a very nice watch for the money - may I ask where did you got it from?

Wow, thank you and Stephane for the superb review.

Uncanny coincidence - I was just talking to a member on another forum about buying a 2005 silver/white dial Daytona from Ruby, I really love that model.

But the movement secs at 6 is VERY offputting, I really don't know what to do.

BTW, I have one of Joshua's inexpensive asian 21j Daytonas with the secs at 6 disabled, he had these on offer a goood 1.5 years ago, not worth it -really inaccurate subdials and very cheap looking.

Tony is quite OK in my book, I've bought 4 watches from him, each one surpassed my expectations by a lot (except for the cheezy HB BB, but then again, what did I expect for $75).

We went to London a little over a year ago, here's a few things we enjoyed:

- ferry ride to Greenwich viewing interesting new residential architecture along the Thames. In Greenwich there is the Museum of Space & Time, also the GMT line imbedded in the ground. The Museum was actually quite entertaining, in a primary school sort of way, the highlight was John Harrison's clocks.

- John Soane's townhouse. I forgot where that's located but Soane, an 18th century civil architect, a pack rat who collected pieces of greek temples, statues, tons of paintings, furniture etc. He built and kept adding on to his townhouse to accommodate his collection. This building is insane, with cutouts in walls with built in shelving, large panel doors attached to walls that swing out to show paintings mounted on the back of the panels. Every inch of space in this townhouse has been ingeniously utilized to show his collections, really crazy.

- Whitechapel Bell Foundry tour. Longest running business in England, been in the same location since 1700s, they manufacture bells of all sizes. The owner who gives the tour is very funny, gently pokes fun at his guests. Really interesting tour.

- Masala Zone restaurants, I believe there are 3. Very inexpensive new Indian cuisine, very light and fresh, everything we had was superb.

Hope this helps, enjoy your vacation.

Yes, a link please.

I searched and could not find anything about this on RWI.

Thank you for the great news, and here's hoping his recovery continues well.

Where did you hear this rumor?

I'm a big Daytona fan.

Hmm...intriguing!

And, pray tell, if a collector would acquire such a pen, would it be a rollerball or fountain pen?

Also, hypothetically speaking of course how much would said pen cost?

You know, this is a very nice watch, very well executed.

May I ask, where did you get it?

Thanks for the update and I hope Ken gets well soon and is back here where he belongs.

Also thanks to Admin for sending the card and book, very nice gesture.

My stars, that's gorgeous!

I would love to own a rose gold/black dial one.

I've read The Zigmeister's posts detailing some of the things he has to go through to get an asian 7750 movement functioning again after servicing it, sometimes parts don't fit back together well and he has to keep fiddling with it until he gets it right. That man has amazing patience.

Based on this I don't believe dealers full servicing is properly done at all.

Ahem, OK, back on topic - that's a beautiful, rare, exceptional watch Vic.

Enjoy it!
