Bump! I think we have generated enough interest, may not have hit the 200 mark within a month but pretty obvious it would be a solid seller... thanks for support. ... 101. craig88 102. Markoff 103.

Favor request for any gen 39mm AT or Railmaster owners (RE: case no.)
cougar1 replied to Brodie's topic in The Omega Area
Case number is 168.1111 for both 39mm AT and Raily, the raily movement 2403 cal is the same as the 2500 in the regular ATs but minus the date mechanism. Good luck parts are available on cousinsuk and ofrei but expensive. -

Puretime. Not on site yet, but will be released very soon. Same here, not one for glossy watches either, prefer matte. Interested in this though, moreso to see the quality of the rep than anything. -

Is this where over sized watches are heading?
cougar1 replied to irolexu's topic in General Discussion
I have to admit, I over the past 10 years I see many watches on the wrists of people out and about that are far too big and showy for their wrist size, much moreso than I see the reverse...a watch too small looking on a massive wrist, although that can happen, it is rarer! In the past couple of years there is pretty good evidence around in the gen market to suggest that there is more growing demand for more normal classic sized watches, Maybe it is related to the fact that big and showy was all the rage of the 00's, and now that we are in the 10's and we all have been brought back down to reality with worldwide recessions etc, big and showy is becoming seen as a bit grotesque and in yer face and more understated/low key is being sought after. Of course, some manufacturers like IWC may have bet the wrong horse when they upsized all their newest models, other manufacturers are still following the big watch trend, but keeping their options by holding onto a few classic sizes. Give it ten years, 44mm+ will look absolutely massive and 40mm-42mm ...perhaps upto 43mm will be the standard sports size again and 36mm-39mm standard dress size. Well maybe anyway -
Great great collection jtiis, might be interested in that speedy date if you intend letting her go.

Very nice mike, some great pickups. The C60 is very nice. Enjoy it. Spotted one in that preview sale recently, was too late pulling the trigger and it went before my eyes

Could never understand all this exclusivity and restrictions bullshiiit, yes Rolex we know it improves desire and craving but wtf, do ye not want to sell the watch or something? Seen a few people get the likes of iconicwatches to source one for them.

Bump! Yep lots want it in 41mm and others want the gmt etc, but overwhelmingly most want the 38.5mm in blue (skyfall). It's hard to know if the factory will even buy the gen to proceed with a replication. They still think it's not popular enough...but lets plug away anyway. 01. Cougar1 02. hering 03. Sgtguk 04.

Things slow, Angus taking about a July release, so hope August/September. Dials complete, just to move 12 hr and 6 hour marker down a touch for final release: Gen dial in middle, very worn already from all the handling, rep dials either side.

Not 'mafia' related per se, but definitely drug and gang culture related with brilliant characters 'The Wire' is a fantastic series to watch, really epic in the amount of detail it covers also. Also Breaking Bad is really good too. I'm also tempted to rewatch the sopranos again sometime soon, it's amazing thinking back on it how brilliant the Sopranos was at its best, when the top writers were involved, it also dipped in parts when they left the writing to others but picked up again rapidly when they re involved themselves. Some really classic episodes like Pine Barrens above, ...Meadow going to check out colleges and Tony spots the guy in the witness protection program. The Big Pussy Bompenseiro death on the boat. Adriannas murder, Furio getting worried. Steve Busemi final ep, Really great tension in all and many more.

Moving my collection back to the UK - How Best to do it?
cougar1 replied to sgtguk's topic in General Discussion
Hi sgt, there was a big thread on this on rwi recently, also one on here I think. I'll dig em up if I see the threads.... Always a bit concerning, moving hard to find watches between countries. Personally I haven't done it but would also be wary about leaving large amounts in checked luggage, too many quick fingered guys in the system. Maybe best to spread it out, post a few before leaving, wear one, missus wear another, a couple then in each carry on, then others in checked luggage and maybe have friends or relatives over in Oz post the last few on later. I'm sure many have done it and would have more precise info. You moving back to the crazy weather in the UK, that's even more frightening -
Anyone seen this? Arctic Ocean Homage to Snowflake !
cougar1 replied to sgtguk's topic in General Discussion
Would definitely take one if they come available....make it happen. God eta seem to be really treating lower end makers like trash these days. Shame really, bloody Swiss watch industry, why do we love them again? -

cougar1 replied to cougar1's topic in The Omega Area
Bump Got hold of a gen for a bit, we need that nice rep! We are going for the blue 38.5mm and then rep grey and white after, perhaps 41.5mm if sales are good...lets hope so! Size comparo vs 38.5 quartz left, franken 42mm PO, 41.5mm AT. Vs JLC NSD rep: Only noticing recently that black is a bit of a cracker also! -
I'm with you OP, love the 1887, the problem with it is the movement to fit, afaik there isn't one that fits the profile exactly so issues getting it repped. Also some of the cheaper (from pics) factories started building them so then that puts off the bigger factories...which is a shame.The 1887 imo is one of the nicest THs out there atm. Some thing came out recently that might be worth a look, a little better quality than the other 1887, but still some issues...bad DW, sunburst dial is a bit too sunburst etc...still a very nice rep though. It might be a compromise for a while: http://www.puretime.co/product/calibre-1887-300-slr-limited-edition-brown-dial-ss-on-leather-strap-a7750/

Is that the NSD, they are hard to find atm i think, so should sell easily. I also have a noob explorer II, trying to figure out whether to hold onto it or not. Too many bits and bobs in state of disrepair here, need to get in gear and get things done. 3 TC subs and a BK that need to be combined and reduced to one Can't wait for the Tudor BB and also the IWC ingenieur that is 1 year away -

Right, my bad, they have their hands in some other big sought after watch then, or else they are sitting around doing nothing Yep, I'll bet 4 or 5 really nice reps will arrive at the same time, cue people falling over each other to get them. Will need to start selling some stuff. I just bought two watches last week...sigh! -

I hope so too. It'll be like buses, none come along when you need one then 20 mins later 5 arrive at once ....This is the thing with noob atm, they have so many hands in so many baskets it's hard to know what is to be released next, the Tudor BB and the BP Fifty fathoms will be big hits for them. The Tudor BB was due for release around April/May I think, but due to problems with the bracelet it's still not out. We could be in for a big release schedule for around August to the end of summer. -

Still waiting, hopefully soon, there was a delay with the AR on all and the LMPO will be released first, cant see them being much longer, next month or two, then again with reps it's dangerous to nail down dates
