I haven't been around for a while but am recovering from December back surgery. Great doctor with magic hands did a great job and I'm now pain free and very mobile.
I wanted to share a new...
The sad part of the whole thing is that several thousand 'vomitworthy' Renato watches have been sold on shopnbc.com. Admittedly, some did not have the diamond encrusted number 8 on the dial but all...
I prefer the white numbers on the black background and would be willing to wait for them to be produced.
I would buy the black numbers on white if that was all that was available. It is, after...
If that is a 20mm strap, I believe the case diameter will be in the 39-40mm range. A bit on on the small side for my currently overweight wrists.
If I follow the doctors advice and lose 20 pounds...
Would you consider an even-up trade for this hard-to-get B & R which I have for sale at $6,800.00 ?
We'll each pay our own shipping costs and ship the watches to a neutral 3rd party to insure...
I'm in for the long haul. This will be something unique in my collection based just on the movement. The case and dial will be like frosting and whipped cream on the cake.
If there are doubts...
By this time next year Mr Biver will no longer be working for Hublot and he would have started his own brand.

I believe you are correct about JC Biver. I met him in Boston in 2005...
Totally agree.

Well said!
Both gentlemen involved are valuable contributors to the forum over time and this reminds me of the Clinton/Obama crap I read and hear about all day...
Ah yes, more Omega watches drop-shipped directly from China.
Possibly from the factory that makes dials and cases for the Swatch Group?
He has 4 recently sold Omegas that are popular replica models. To me, the fact he doesn't show watch backs or bracelet clasps indicates they are fakes. Those parts usually are the indicators of...
Watch on left wrist. No rings. Deano paracord bracelet on right wrist to match shirt color when casually dressed.
Black dial, black strap Altiplano on left wrist with black belt, socks and...

Really??
How about the El Primero??[/quote:3dnhc3eq][/size]
Touché...you got me on that one, I did not even know they put an El Primero movement in.
Thanks for setting me straight....
It is my understanding these Seiko 'parts,' that include movements and cases are destined for some new Tag Heuer "Swiss Made" watches that will be coming to market soon. At Baselworld in early...
You should be proud to be a member of a well-learned, intelligent community that shares such interesting tidbits among friends.
Here is the ideal strap candidate as borrowed from Blancpain:

Here is the PRS 50 with the Suunto strap mounted:

The Kevlar strap I started with is from Ted Su. I heard about him from oldskool on the PMWF forum who makes red12 straps. You can see Ted's straps at...
Priority Mail with Airsure gets here in about a week and requires a signature on delivery. Recent cost was £13. to ship a watch in its box. Tracking isn't step-by-step.
These shipments seem to...
Does a Chinese blank cost that much?[/quote]
Well I was only guessing. :oops:
Seriously though, I have no problem with any company buying blanks and finishing them in Switzerland, Germany or...
Not being fond of rubber straps, I've been looking for alternatives for my PRS 50 LE since it arrived a while back.
Ever since I saw the current Blancpain Fifty Fathoms model with the sailcloth...
Listing looks like a cut & paste from ioffer.com. Home of awesome fakes. Sadly, this one does not fall into that category.
Of course I'm still in for 009, or xxx if I've been bumped from the original list.
Good things ARE worth waiting for!
I thought the sailcloth strap shown on the current ff would be a perfect match for 15/50. Unfortunately, it may never be known how good it would look.
According to Tourneau, the Boston Blancpain...
My daughter works at the Burlington Mall and I asked her to check the stores out for me when I heard it on the news here. Both the jewelry store and the watch store had clean shelves in the display...
