And yet my latest sales thread was moved to Humor without so much as a by-your-leave! Hmph! In case anyone is confused: thread crapping -verb \thred

My legitimate sales post seems to have been rudely transplanted! The ultimate threadcrap, perhaps? See, some people haven't discovered the real quality reps yet. Don't be fooled by those lowballing poseurs!

I assure you, if someone pays me mah moneh they will get a watch. No fantasies here. Actually, if they don't it's your fault for crapping on my sales thread. PM me for my bridge prices, they are steep but fair. Think of all the money you'll make in tolls!

I have no idea what any of that means, but if you don't mind I am trying to feed my starving kids here....move along if you aren't buying.

That's a good idea, but overseas commerce is so risky. Plus, the exchange rate. UPDATE! If someone wants an LV sub for $2000, I can probably do that. All this wheeling and dealing is making me hungry!

How DARE you lowball me!

A breathtaking and rare replica PP SMT with working date function and convenient quartz movement on the back. My price is actually quite a steal since Gemnation is asking 1.7 million for theirs. FREE Fast shipping!!!11 Also, superswissscams4u.com charges $1800 plus $80 shipping for an ETA Submariner handmade by Swiss ex-factory employees on a beach in Italy, so $1500 is a huge bargain since I took all the customs risks already! Mine might look slightly different due to air pressure and time zone differences. Won't last long!!?!

Did you see it somewhere else?

If you don't want people commenting on your thread (not tread), try Ebay or Craigslist. If someone is selling a scratched up piece of junk for too much money, or something that can easily be had cheaper elsewhere, of course we are going to say something.

Very nice...the CF dial does seem to have that cheap checkerboard look in some photos but it's better than I expected. We still need a factory 1 vs. factory 2 side-by-side shootout. Does the clasp seem comfortable, and can we get a wristshot?

The reasonably priced Lite models from Silix and others have the 28K movement, to further confuse the issue. The bottom line is, as always, the manufacturers are extracing the maximum amount possible for a desireable item with a limited number of suppliers. The movement type (21K or 28K) and bezel material (ceramic, PVD, or plated) DO affect the manufacturing costs, but only slightly. The retail price is comfortably high, borne by a massively inflated price when the replica was new--the manufacturer(s) are trying to keep the bubble inflated as long as possible. Some comparisons: Silix SS HBB (Lite) with PVD bezel, 28,000bph high beat: $245 For whatever reason the Silix Ice Bang lite costs more: $315 Watchmark PVD Luna Rossa with SS bezel and 21,600bph low beat: $295 So you get pretty much the same price for the watch with the inferior movement. I wish someone would do a side-by-side comparison of the 21K and 28K watches. I remember reading about them when the new rotor stickers were first spotted, but they were dismissed as low quality although I don't really remember where I saw that. Since they are made by different factories it would be good to know all their differences.

Someone ordered one (the rose gold 21K movement) and confirmed that it's a real ceramic bezel.

I emailed the contact at Watchgroup, Robert responded quickly and courteously letting me know that he hasn't heard from TWP since late February. So it seems that he wasn't running the site or anything, just doing mods for the owner.

No reason to wait, just email Tony and tell him to give you a better price. I would buy it myself, but I think this might be a bit much for my first RG watch. This site used to be watch-ebay.com; and they STILL have their annoying high prices and annoying mislabeled movements. Where would you get the RG buckle?

WHAT YOU SAY!!

Replicated. This is from Tony's new site I guess.

There are plenty of places where a car is mostly useless, and not all bus systems are like Greyhound's rolling toilets filled escapees from the trailer park. A bit off topic; I happen to think a Radiomir dresses down a lot better than up. It's a pretty utilitarian watch when you take off the PAM-goggles.

I think this is all a load of crap. There is no way I could explain this if you don't know already, but there is something called "good taste" and those douchebags who wear their designer labels on the outside of their casual clothes don't have it. As for the watch "matching" the clothes somehow, do you think someone who wears a gen Panerai is thinking "whoa, I better make sure I look rich today so people think my watch is real"? They probably put it on in the morning without thinking twice. Why does someone HAVE to dress a certain way in order to be worthy of a $4000 watch? It really isn't that much money in the scheme of things, and maybe they are trying to do their bit against smog by taking the bus. Further, he wasn't exactly flashing it around making sure everyone took notice.

Maybe, but there are remedies.

I assume this is the "new" $50-$70 strap especially made for the UPO? I was hoping the issues with the gaps would be fixed with that one; the spring bars didn't make much difference with the Silix strap.
