For Canada, this "registration number", or whatever you call it, is useful. When the package get out of the custom, Canada post mark it as "arrived to the country". That usually mean 4 or 5 days and it's at my door. Not fully traceable, but it's a good way to know when you will receive it. So this number is useful for some. A good thing I didn't asked you the tracking number for the watch I'm waiting, would be another flame war that I don't really want

bounced flash can be useful.. Light is much better, but sometime it's simply impossible. Direct flash is the worst mistake someone can do.

Just get yourself a Polarizer for your camera and problem is gone. (and using that, you won't loose the Omega logo on your watch pics )

Ebay is the only way for you then. Most of the dealer there could help with the customs fees (marking it as a gift for example) Btw same thing happened with a strap I wanted on Watch Prince. It was $21 (nice price) but added $10 shipping + $11 brokerage and custom fees (damn UPS, they steal us).. so $42 for a simple strap... I ordered from Bob a better strap for $32 all in. So WP is probably nice for US, but they clearly don't want to deal with international order.

I inquired about those watches box 2 weeks ago (the "sale" is there for a while now) Being in Canada, it was just too expensive for a "defective" box. They asked the $27 for the box + $22 shipping + $4 paypal + $11 for custom (since they didn't want to help for that) So $64 was just too high. I got one by Acetimer for $40 all included instead.

THAT explain all the watches your waiting

I think I start to have the same problem. When I first joined replica world, I never seen a Panerai before. I told me: "what the hell do they find nice on those watch"... "It's more popular than Rolex, they must be crazy"... Well, a bit more than a year later, I start to look for a 177h, 172 or a 192.... What's wrong with those watches ? Last year I found they ugly and now when I close my eyes, I see those model... Will have to order one soon to fix this "problem"...

I was at a watch store few months ago that is a Rodania Dealer. They make fine watch (they are the official time keeper of Dakar race) I was looking at their watch and saw a Rolex "Pepsi" style. It was in Quartz, much thiner than a Rolex. Sadly I can't find any picture online beside this tinny one: http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:6_LJ...771068_2264.jpg

I love this one.. Need a little cleaning, but great watch.

Bob have some GREAT Breitling strap for cheap.. give him a try !

Yes they have bad movement, but it's still luck. I have one that keep very good time (it's a Seiko movement designed as "Asian Power Reserve movement") Only problem with those watch is if something goes wrong, it's not worth it to fix it.. So it's a use and trash watch.

This cheap asian is flawed... do yourself a favor and get the ETA.. It's probably one of the best replica you can buy so don't cheap out on this one.

MoneyBooker and WU are too expensive for a "single watch" buy. The fee they ask is quite high, even after the 10% off dealer offer. Last time I tried WU, it was near $25 fees for sending $120... Any info about the direct credit card payment ? might be an option if he have secure access (using 3rd party, I wouldn't want to give my credit number to any individual anyway)

most of the dealer have it. Silix, Andrew, Joshua etc..

It's a Tag..

Best Tag rep for sure.. Yours don't look to suffer from the wrong date alignment... Make it perfect !

if it's $60 for a chrono watch, then he probably just dip the movement in oil and put it back in the watch (which is as good as no servicing at all) I know $175 is a lot, but there is so much work done on those movement. Btw local watchmaker often ask over $300 for the same job.

I don't know if it's the same for the Panerai, but "most" Power Reserve movement are Seiko modified, which are quite good and reliable. I own one, and it keep time better than my ETA watches.

SMP

I really don't like the current generation of the SMP Chrono. It's fairly new and maybe some better version will come up. But for now, I wait.. Better spend the money on a Speedmaster or a Chrono Avenger imo..

I really like the genuine. The TI/ss combo is awesome.. wish there would be a rep of that. Maybe PAM freak could help.. is there one like that without a date and manual ? (same TI/ss combo, beside the 192..)

humm lot of money in those 3 parts I wish I could find a genuine bezel insert for cheap

We are fine here.. so just forget the old place.. This one is much better anyway.

I'm with swdivad. I really like Zenith watches...

The gen is quite nice, but the rep is a big no-way.. Ugly rep..
