I thought I'd get called on the blurred Cohiba band on the cigar

My home in Seattle does not even have AC Summer is a quick but beautiful time. My home in China is on an island in the South China sea. It's still warm and my 400mm lens did a good job today. Shot taken from my master bedroom balcony.

Here's one from this afternoon. All gens. Life's good

Thanks for posting this. I bought a gen white face with blue hands BA in Feb. Love it.

Replica Crystal engraving too visible. Tips of crown guards too pointy.

Don't listen to these guys about advancing 12 hours. You seem like a purist so what you want to do is pull the crown to the 3rd stop and wait 12 hours. Push it in and viola! Fixed.

TJGladeRaider, This kind of crap winds me up too. Let us know if you get an answer to your letter. -aero

I posted this on a gen forum but thought I'd ask here since you guys always seem to have the answers I've been living in China for the last two years and in that time I've purchased two new Rolex watches (ExpII & Sub LV). I've brought the ExpII into the US on a visit and I paid the duty (I keep the duty receipt with me). If I bring both watches back with me on my next trip to the US, am I at risk of having both confiscated when I pay my duty for the LV? I'll have both watches with me, one has duty already paid and the other one I will have to pay duty. From US Customs web site: "The Rolex trademark recordation with Customs indicates "Import of Goods Bearing Genuine Trademarks or Trade Names Restricted." This means that genuine Rolex products can only be imported with the permission of the trademark owner, Rolex Watch U.S.A. Inc. A private individual can hand carry one Rolex watch from a trip overseas without obtaining permission. Bring in more than one, and they will all be seized as a trademark violation. Purchasing a Rolex from overseas by mail is also a trademark violation

Well, I guess I forgot who I was dealing with The main resson I read these boards is I've found no better WIS group anywhere You guys are right, it's a genuine. I thought someone would get twisted up by the "SWISS MADE" being over only 3 ticks. I've not seen many LV's like that.

Hey guys, this is one of mine so I do know the real answer! Be sure to give your reasons.

I agree. I've never felt threatened in China. Just being a westerner gives the impression of wealth (with or without the watch). I wear my gen ExpII, Sub LV, Montblanc or Broadarrow here. If I go out drinking I wear my rep Sub LV or ExpII They might not strong arm you for the watch but if you're drunk and they can slip it off you they will.

For what it's worth, I PM'd Joe a few weeks ago and never got a reply. My PM was not watch related, just a friendly hello and an offer of some DVD's (free, of course) I gussed he was very busy and it appears that he's not feeling well also (who wouldn't reply to free DVD's?) Anyway, I think he's become too busy and he's such a people person that it's not easy for him to feel that he's disapointed anyone. Here's to hoping all works out for everyone! :jerry:

I'm sorry to see things turn out like this. I was/am a forum friend of Joe's since we both joined (before he started doing watch repairs). He's done outstanding work for me hk45ca... You must be IAM... based on the gun theme in your Avitar

Joe, You have to make sure you have time for yourself

I would be interested in this too. Solid gold... as in 24k? I think I'd rather see 18k so that there was some hardness to the case.

Ummm yes I was trying my hand at a touch of humor

I'm ashamed to admit it but... sometimes I come here to the replica board and post picts of my Gens

Do the reps have the red tamper dot at 6 o'clock on the case back? Good pearl, 'He' placement and dot. The photo is the real deal.

I'm able to log in from China.
