Jkay Posted June 29, 2014 Report Posted June 29, 2014 That's great, I'll shoot him a PM now, THANKS! I've just had a look at ToroBravo's website, what do you think of this? LINK I think that if you upgrade to Asia Clone using the movement chooser on that page, you'll be happy. If you want cheap and cheerful, keep it set to 2813 default.
davidmac Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Posted July 12, 2014 I arrived home from holiday today to find a "Sorry we missed you" card on the doormat, A quick trip to the post office and I now have the Submariner I ordered from iOffer. I won't cast my judgement on it just yet but I'm very interested to get everyone's opinions, please don't hold back. Sorry about the photo's I've not got a Macro lens and I'm rubbish at photography.

It's not very good ... sorry. But everyone learns the hard way. No one can force you to use the correct road.
jmb Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks for the advice! I have seen a lot of recommendations for Bergies, I've also had a look on Replica plaza which I believe is Kens website but there isn't a huge selection of things on there. On the watch front however, I've found one over on RWI M2M that's within my price range and looks like a nice example of a Sub, we're currently working out the logistics of the sale as he's in CONUS and I'm in the UK. I'm not entirely sure how it'd work with regards to any customs issues, what're the chances of a seizure? Again, thanks for all the great advice, you've all been very helpful and welcoming. I bought a Prada bag from Ken for wive.gov and all the ladies where she works were green with envy and it has held up well.
jmb Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 Really, the CGs and crown are not that bad. If you did a dial, hand set, DWO, and bracelet Clasp swap it would make a passable beater!

torobravo Posted July 13, 2014 Report Posted July 13, 2014 iOffer is overpriced and you don´t get good stuff over there. I mean watches. It might be good for clothes or other things..
jmb Posted July 15, 2014 Report Posted July 15, 2014 The rehaut wok is set to "stir fry" What I'm saying is it would be a good piece to experiment on if someone was inclined to learn a few modding skills. When I started out I bought up a half dozen dhgate $40 Subs and went to drillin' and grindin'...

jmb Posted July 16, 2014 Report Posted July 16, 2014 Thank you for remembering but it's actually how I became a "Certified Cheap Ba$tard"! 2

davidmac Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah, it is pretty crap! Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic
coffindodger Posted July 22, 2014 Report Posted July 22, 2014 crap yes! but we all need a beater for cleaning the car or digging the garden ect.so you now have yours so move on and order the good stuff.
davidmac Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Posted July 22, 2014 I've actually been wearing it to work, I work for a local authority and pretty much all I do is dig holes.
Jkay Posted July 22, 2014 Report Posted July 22, 2014 I've actually been wearing it to work, I work for a local authority and pretty much all I do is dig holes. Here's a nice classic Rolex Sea Dweller. It's made to be beaten on! That's what the original Rolex tool watches were all about. It's one of the highest quality mid-range classic replicas http://www.puretime-asia.com/product/vinatge-great-white-sea-dweller-1665/
davidmac Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Posted July 22, 2014 funnily enough I was just looking at the Double Red version Here. I'm struggling to justify the cost to my wife at the moment though I hate being poor and under the thumb
Jkay Posted July 22, 2014 Report Posted July 22, 2014 funnily enough I was just looking at the Double Red version Here. I'm struggling to justify the cost to my wife at the moment though I hate being poor and under the thumb I dont know if you care, but the Double Red is a $25,000 watch. If no one you know will realize this, then it does not matter. I wear $21000 Panerai reps to work and no one knows so no one cares
davidmac Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Posted July 23, 2014 There is a guy in work who's into watches and owns a Gen Sea Dweller so I'm guessing he'll know. I think I'll pass on the double red, cheers for the heads up Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

davidmac Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Posted July 23, 2014 I won a genuine 16600 bezel insert on eBay the other day so I'd quite like to find a rep to put it in, it'd be hard to find one within my budget I think though. Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic

davidmac Posted July 23, 2014 Author Report Posted July 23, 2014 I've read that BP make the best sea dwellers. I was looking at this one:http://intime.co/product.php?id_product=1247 But the bezel insert wouldn't fit, would it? Sent from my iPhone using TapatalksSic
