Yes, its very similar to best of the best....and they pull in nearly 12 million in a year. Their prizes are much larger...Ferraris, etc...but the tickets are much more expensive as well...up to $100 for one ticket. Yes, sorry...1 in 100....thats what I meant :-) So overall, would you guys buy a ticket?

Hey guys...I won't post the URL yet, because I don't want anyone to think I'm spamming...but I would love your thoughts on my business idea... I have launched a website that sells posters for $10. With each poster comes a free entry into a drawing to win a watch (this method is necissary to make everything legal). Each poster only sells 1,200 copies. Watches include brands like Rolex, Panerai, IWC and they are all new and authentic. As soon as we sell 1,200 posters, we choose a winner. Immediately, we put up a new poster associated with a new drawing. This means a single poster would give you a 1 in 1200 chance of winning and for $120 you'd have a 1 in 10 chance of winning. Its ok if you think its stupid...I'm just looking for opinions. Thanks!

I hadn't been to this site in a long time, as I tried to enter the world of replicas, but just couldn't do it. I love the look of Rolex and I LOVE the tudor, the problem is that I dont believe that the quality of the timepeice is worth the money they ask. This is an opportunity to get one at a fraction of the cost, not to mention a true Tudor! I have bought 2 tickets and Stephane has brought someone back to the community! So thanks for this chance! Im not a lucky guy, but I will be double crossing my fingers on this one! ~Craig

That is great advice, thank you. I ordered a sub from trusty and paid a little extra for him to deal with the "issues" it might have...including waterproofing...so maybe he will offer that service for this watch, I will check it out...thanks again...

YES! thank you....the one I saw was a two-tone version...but that is definately the watch...thank you so much. If anyone has a suggestion of a decent place to get a rep of this watch, Im all ears :-) Thanks again!

It was a large circular face with a blue stone on the end of the crown and the crown was set a little in, so that the bezel actually partially covered it. Does anyone know which model this is? I cant seem to find it on any site, including cartier!! Thank you!

Hello fellow RWGers, I am once again turning to you guys for advice. This time it is regarding a good source for replacement parts. I do not really care if the parts are genuine or not, as long as they are of excellent quality. Also, the biggest issue I am having is finding a "catalouge" of sorts. I really hate having to guess if the hands or the face is the one I want by some model number. I was hoping there might be a comprehensive online cataloge of parts. Something that has cases, hands, dials, (maybe even movements?) along with pictures so I can actually see the parts before I order them. Thanks in advance for anyone who can offer help with this!

If you do find one (particularly the sun/moon) please let us know...thatll be my second rep!

For what its worth, I have 2 gen breitlings and feel they are one of the best gens for the money that you can get. They are really stunning timepeices and I recieve a least a few compliments everytime I wear one. They are my favorite watch under 10k. I would highly reccomend them to anyone thinking about getting one.

Hey MJ, you are right about your links. But if you look at the descriptions, I actually cant find anything different (except maybe the polish on the bracelet?) I dont see what the extra-extra $100 is for. I say extra-extra, because the one I got is already an extra $100 for the additional work...so the "ultimate" is extra, extra...lol

Victoria mentioned something about how nice the A. Lange catalouge was, so I went to their website and ordered one (its free, just enter your address). It is one of the most amazing things ever. Knowing a little bit about printing, it probably cost them about $20-$25 for each one. It also comes with a cool DVD highlighting their new "datograph" watch. The cheapest watch in the catalouge is $26,000 but they sure are works of art. Anyway, if you like the watches at all, go to the site and get the catalouge. It also gives detailed descriptions of how all the movements work, which is REALLY cool.

Personally, I think its worth it (although I think it was $388 not $488). THe movement is great, it accepts gen parts and looks perfect. Many movements, even the ETAs, are not in "tip top" shape. Also, there are quality control problems as some here have said. The extra money gets the movement taken apart, cleaned, lubed, put back together and gets the who watch tested to be water resistant to like 30m (or maybe 30 ft), either way, I believe the extra money is WELL worth it, if even just for peice of mind.

I got Andrews "perfect" sub and I love it...keeps good time and looks AWESOME!

I also just recieved the "perfect sub" from Andrew... As for the bracelet being lighter, as mentioned above, the actual Sub has a lighter bracelet than TT. The TT is heavier because of the solid gold center links. Even the SS gen can be ordered with solid mid-links, but the genuine watch has hollow and is quite light. Honestly, I never noticed the edges of the bracelet. There is nothing wrong with my cyclops and my date changes EXACTLY at midnight. As for the Bezel, Ive never actually clicked the bezel on an original and therefore cant really speak to it..but who the [censored] is clicking your bezel to see if its real? LOL

If I wanted to design my own watch, do any of the members here make (or know someone who can make) them? Id like to do a really distinctive looking watch, but I can make it run on a Valjoux 7750 movement (or a very slightly modified one). Id be willing (obv.) to pay for the parts/labor and an extra something for helping me out. Im really only in it to get one watch for me, but if people ask about it, I might be interested in starting some sort of venture if that is of any interest. Thanks!

wow...talk about unexpected...I had no idea this was such a "no-no". In fact, I had no idea what rules you were even talking about. Now that I read this post I went back and found/read the rules. I hope the fact that this post hasnt been deleted means the mods felt it added SOMETHING to the forum, but if not, I apologise for maknig the post. I suppse I understand the point of not going to the AD (not sure if I went to an AD or not, just someone who sold used rolexs). If they see a bunch of fake rolexes, they might be tempted to do something about it, right? Anyway, sorry again...now I know the rules!

I am not sure if I would gift a rep. There are certain friends (who are quite happy) who know they will never be able to afford a $10k watch...I would buy/gift a rep. to one of them...and I would tell them its a replica. I also have friends who can or will someday soon be able to afford the gen. if they want it...I would not give them a replica. I only have one replica and several gens....my wife knows which is the replica and we have talked about why I would get a replica of that specific watch (especiialy since we can afford the gen.) Thats my 2 cents!

So, I recently purchased a "perfect" Anniversary Sub from Andrew (trustytime) and brought it to a jewler. I made up a BS story about how I got the watch and asked him if it was genuine. My hope was that it would take him all the way till he opened the back to discover it was a rep. Well, I handed him the watch, he looked at it for 2 or 3 minutes, and he handed it back to me and said "Its real...I dont even need to open it, I can tell by the look and feel, you have very generous family". Just letting people know that a perfect looking sub does exist. It has so far kept great time, but I have not as yet tested its waterproofing.

On the silex, the outline on the markers appears to be too thick. Also, I have recently bought Trusty's "Perfect Anniversary Sub". Yesterday I walked into a jewler, handed it to him with a BS story about someone giving it to me and asked him if it was a gen. He picked it up, looked at it and said "I dont even need to open it, I can tell by the look and feel that its a genuine. Just my experience...and the customer service from Trusty was outstanding.

Hi The Zigmeister, I am a new member here and I came over to this forum from another forum for a similar reason. I felt that my contributions were no longer appreciated, dispite the fact that I had really helped to build the forum and was one of the first "core" members. What I found was that the more members join a forum, the less likley that forum is to be helpful and meaningful. You just get too many "trash" posts. I have also just bought a "perfect" anniversary sub from Andrew and had planned to ask you to do some mod work on it. So if you wouldnt mind letting me know when you are available, that would be great. I was hoping for gen crown/stem, hands and dial. He claims that he sent out the movement for service already, but unscrewing the crown feels very "rough", so I may need some kind of modding on the tube as well. ALthough I have been here for less than a month, I have very much enjoyed your posts. I absolutly understand your position and feeling as I litterally left the other forum for the same reasons. Happy Holidays and I hope I can still get to work with you as I respect you as a person, an RWG member and most importantly, as a watchsmith. THank you and good luck! ~Craig (Supermoves)

Doing my normal daily watch searching, I also came across this... http://www.pduggan.com/cart/proddetail.php?prod=16750 Pretty unique, good quality, great price and I know the owner...so I can vouch for the quality and integrity.

HAHA, you seem to have a great sense of humor and a great like for watches...two things that I love to see on this board...welcome from a fellow new member!

Finally, a question I have some authority on! haha! I came here to learn about reps, but I do know a great deal about a wide variety of gens. I would try a brand called Tourneau. THey have some REALLY unique watches, that can still look good with a suit. The price ranges from about $2000-$5000 (and sometimes you can find preowned for a little less). They do have a GREAT line of original watches with a really unique starburst-style face in the $3000-$4000 range. Here is one: http://www.tourneau.com/Tourneau/Main/Cata...ion~Gotham.aspx Here is another neat one in that classique Breguet style: http://www.tourneau.com/Tourneau/Main/Cata...TRW0100005.aspx Here is the website: http://www.tourneau.com/Tourneau/Main/Cata...s/Tourneau.aspx THey do have a few collections (like the safari) that you can tell are moddled after another brand, Breitling in this case, but if you stick with an original, you will get a great destinctive watch at a decent price. The Gotham collection is really nice IMO and very unique. Good luck and hope I helped!

If anyone needs a hit put out...pm me...will do in exchange for this replica... haha...oh man, this is like my dream rep...I dont know if I want the 40k one, simply because no one would believe me...but the Lange 1 moonphase, would fit in nicely with my gen brietling, gen cartier and new rep. anniversary sub... *drool*

[Ya, you guys sort of just confirmed my suspicions...that picture was almost TOO perfect. I would kill for an accurate/functional replica of this watch!
