i have a question....where is kenzo/watchmaster?]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 18:00:46 +0000 http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/121674-where-is-kenzowatchmaster/ A European vendor of Reps http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/121670-a-european-vendor-of-reps/
I live in Norway where i run a restaurant. The restaurant business in Norway employs mainly Swedish people, and i have a few on staff. Any given week i have people going to Sweden for some reason.

We ship the most incredible things between the countries. Everything from certificates of employment to tobacco and a special type of ham that is only possible to get in Kiruna in the far north of Sweden.

We have never experienced problems with our shipping during the past 5 years. We have also shipped and received goods from several European countries such as: Germany, the UK, Poland, Denmark, Spain, Switzerland, Austria, Romania, Greece, Italy, France and the Netherlands.

European and Norwegian customs are known to be fierce, but they concentrate on stopping illegal drugs. This is a good thing, and i like the work they do in that regard, although i wasn't their biggest fan after spending 5 hours in holding while they tried to figure out whether it was illegal to bring Advils (ibuprofen) to Norway.

I have noticed that the bulk of the reps (if not all) are being made in China, and that members from some European countries are having great difficulties getting watches through customs.

I have been doing purchases of different kinds from china since 2005, and i have had well over 200 packages sent to my business and me personally. I have never had anything stopped in customs.

I propose making a virtual European vendor. A vendor that imports reps and that is associated with a company/person doing modifications, and service. The vendor will offer reps wit quality assurance and control, service / repairs and modifications, and foremost insure delivery to your door.

I do realize that i don't have all the necessary knowledge to pull this off. I am a chef and not a watchmaker, but it has struck me that many of our members have more insight into watches than many ADs.

I got into replicas for the same reason that many have initially: The allure of purchasing something people will think costs 50 times more than you have paid. However. After spending time in this forum and looking at several replicas, i found myself being attracted to the craftsmanship they represent. Being a craftsman myself i have the utmost respect for these works of art and i think that i'm not alone in this.

My making such a virtual European Vendor (i use the term virtual because even though everything happens in one storefront the departments are scattered across several countries), we would be able to provide high-end reps unlike what you get from any single vendor today.

Even after having read posts in this forum for more than 18 months i am still not sure where to go to get the best modifications done to the watches to make them stand out that much more.

There are many written reviews in this forum, and the authors are clearly skilled people. Taking that skill and making it available as a part of the QA/QC with this virtual European vendor is would be a great service for the masses of people who don't posses this knowhow.

This will be no great money-maker. It comes down to covering costs, and that's about it. But it will allow us put our skills to practical use, and to feel the satisfaction that comes with knowing that you have delivered a top-range product and a piece of true craftsmanship.

Any takers? Any Ideas? Most importantly, any concerns?

This is an idea i have come up with, and there may be factors i don't know that will shut it down, but i do believe that it is an idea worth exploring.]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 17:30:24 +0000 http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/121670-a-european-vendor-of-reps/ Anything New Out There http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/121656-anything-new-out-there/ It seems the cartel is recycling old designs.

in the last weeks i allways come accross some sales ad´s for new or nearly new watches.

The seller states he paid a premium for movement service and waterproofing....his asking price always reflects this and all of these ad´s have a stellar-price tag.

Best example is the ROO series....we know those movements had problems in the past, but today they are fine and run great.

Once paid and received but decide to sell, is it really possible to get your paid premium back from a new buyer?

Do you belief the dealers that they REALLY did service your watch? (OK, I know some exceptional dealers who do)

Can the dealer belief his "watchsmith" to do the service?

Is this all just another way to earn some more cash from the reps? :whistling:

I never had any problems with my reps, if they failed I brought them to my watchsmith for a repair....waterproofing costs 30$. :clapping:

All my watches that have been serviced and I like to sell, I do not calculate that extra cost into account, the watch can fail again when arriving at the buyer although I had it serviced....these are reps anyway.

I like to hear your opinions again....to all the noobs here, think first and do your homework before you drop the extra dollars for your new rep....you might regret it soon when you sell the watch.

Cheers all

Tonight, when I was in the kitchen, I dropped some stuff into the garbage compactor and ... felt something odd .. my new watch slithered across the back of my hand and into the garbage. :blowup:

Luckily, the screw which had fallen out was resting nicely on top of a piece of paper. I had completely not noticed that the end links were held onto the watch head with ... ready? ... SCREWS.
If you think you tightened them all .. check again. Tighten them

ps - half of the caseback screws were loose too.]]> Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:24:47 +0000 http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/121642-tighten-your-screws/ <![CDATA[I don't normally ask for help, but I need your prayers]]> http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/121637-i-dont-normally-ask-for-help-but-i-need-your-prayers/

I have to have the movement serviced about once a year and the band clasp needs a touch up about once a year as well. However - the watch steel - especially the band - is scratched horribly. It looks to be two-tone with semi-brushed links on the outside and non-brushed inside. Can i use a cape cod on the whole watch? Or do I need to be careful not to do this - as the cape cod would try and shine the brushed links.

Well the summer season has now officially passed, and although it wasn't the best, it's been decent.

Decent enough for me to deserve a new watch.

I have two watches right now, both gotten from Joshua. These are:
1. Breitling for Bentley Flying B Chronograph
2. Rolex Daytona, Red Gold, working Chronograph

I have included a really bad picture of the Rolex so you can see the relationship in size. I managed to crack the glass of the Breitling, so i had to start wearing the Rolex daily. I have gotten many compliments on it, and even though i originally bought it to use as an accessory at a pimp & hoe party it has really grown on me and i like the feel of it.

I do have some seriously big wrists (9.5" around"), and watches with rubber or leather straps are usually too small.

I am interested in your recommendations and personal favorites. Any and all are welcome. If any vendors have recommendations then please keep in mind the wrist size and that i need to have the bracelet extended. Please include any extra cost in your pricing. Offers of sale should be sent by PM.

I do have one final question, and that is if anybody knows somebody who sells Rado. I have been through several trusted sites, but i am unable to find any Rado vendors.

With Regards,

The Master Chef

If someone issues a complaint against you, Pay Pal will 1st freeze any funds in the Pay Pal account.
If there are no funds in it, they will attempt to remove funds from your bank account to cover the claim. Remember you have authorised them to have access to your bank account.
If both these accounts are empty, Pay Pal have no further ability to get funds, unless more are subsequently paid into either account.

The best chance anyone has of obtaining reimbursement in the case of a deal gone wrong, is to have funded the initial payment via a credit (or debit) card.

When you set up your Pay Pal account, you are also asked for CC details.
So each time you make a purchase using Pay Pal, you should ALWAYS fund the purchase from your CC.( you have this option at the time of making payment), you then have recourse to a claim via your CC company (This is one reason you pay the exhorbitant CC rates!)

I have set up my own accounts as follows-
My primary bank account ( A ) is where my funds are held. I then have a linked account ( B ) which I term my Pay Pal account. It also has a debit card attached to it. This account ( B ) is the one which Pay Pal have access to.
Then there is the actual Pay Pal account (at Pay Pal) which I will call ( C )
Now, as soon as I receive a payment into my Pay Pal account ( C ) I transfer it to my bank account ( B )This takes 2-3 days to process.
As soon as it shows in my account ( B ) I move all monies into my primary account (A), thus keeping my Pay Pal accounts (B & C ) at zero balances. (or close to)
When I need to make a payment, I move money from (A) to ( B )at the exact amount required to pay for the item (or maybe a $ or 2 more)
I then choose to fund the payment via my DEBIT CARD. (Not from the bank account) Although it is essentially the same thing, once the funding is through the Credit/Debit card, I have an avenue for recourse if the purchase goes tits up)
You must remember to always choose CC as your funding option for payments.

This is a strategy I have arrived at over some years of trading both at ebay and at other commercial levels.
Thus far (touch wood) I have not had to make a claim against my card, nor have I had a dispute opened against my Pay Pal account, however I do rest easier knowing that Pay Pal cannot access my money (after the 2-3 day transfer completes), and that if a buying deal goes sour I have some recourse via my CC company.
This, of course should not preclude anyone from lodging a Pay Pal clam as a matter initial complaint....(Of course this should only be done after all avenues to obtain satisfaction from the seller have been exhausted)
However should a satisfactory resolution not be able to be obtained, at least the CC company is there as a fall back option.

Hope this is clear for those who have been a little hazy as to how all this works, however ask any questions if anything isn't understood.

Of course we strongly disapprove of anyone launching a Pay Pal complaint until all other options and avenues are finished.
We have had a number of dealers and members who have had accounts closed or locked, due to someone with an itchy trigger finger.

- How do I remove the dial?

A peculiar thing I've noticed with the minute hand specifically on all chrono's has lead me to believe i'm doing something wrong. When I set the time, the minute hand seems to take a minute or two to engage. For instance, I set my Skyland this morning, and checked it many hours later now at 11PM, its accurate down to the exact second, however the minute hand is two minutes behind! It's not losing time so much as its taking time for the minute hand to engage after I set the time.

1. BCE v2 ................. movement has been serviced, chronograph is generally smooth, but skips once on the large second hand when the minute sub dial hand advances. poor power reserve. When turning the crown to adjust the time, there seems to be a little bit play on the crown.
2. BCE v2 TT .............. movement has been serviced, chronograph is generally smooth, but also skips on the large second hand when the minute sub dial minute hand advances. When turning the crown to adjust the time, there seems to be a little bit play on the crown.
3. Skyland v2 ............. don't know if the movement has been serviced or not, chronograph is very smooth. When turning the crown to adjust the time, there is no play on the crown.
4. Skyland v3 ............. movement has been serviced, chronograph is not so smooth. When turning the crown to adjust the time, there is no play on the crown.
5. SA BS .................. chronograph is not so smooth, but better than skyland v3. When turning the crown to adjust the time, there is no play on the crown.
6. SA v3 .................. unserviced, don't own it no more, the chronograph is smooth. When turning the crown to adjust the time, there is no play on the crown.
7. IWC 3717 ............... unserviced, the large second hand skips in the first 3 seconds, then it runs relatively smooth. The large second hand skips when the minute sub dial hand advances.

Bezel: Thin, Delicate
Hands: Hours and minutes only. The thinner the better
Lettering and bezel in gold or gold plate.
No complications, extra dials or dates.

No minute marks, only numerals (preferably all XII, perhaps just I, III, VI, IX). A navy or charcoal dial might be acceptable, but those are even rarer. I intend to wear grosgrain straps with it, so it should accommodate that. A spare but not minimalist aesthetic, in short.

I don't care about movements, components, or branding, just a watch that fits the criteria above and keeps time.

The most ideal watch I found is Ole Mathiesen, albeit a composite of two of their models:

http://www.unicahome.com/products/small/35617.64C731E5.jpg
http://www.unicahome.com/products/small/35617.0894D6B0.jpg

My ideal watch looks like the black dial Mathiesen, with the roman numerals of the white face one in gold overlaid.

I found some Calatrava replicas on dodgy sites, but did not see them among the sites listed in the Links section:

http://www.newwatchs.com/images/pp-61-face.jpg
http://www.replicahause.com/images/patek-calatrava-05.jpg

That first Patek is extremely close to perfect (that second dial is holding it back), but I've yet to find it on a reputable replica site.

Let me know if you can find that Patek, or know of a similar, suitable watch.]]> Thu, 19 Aug 2010 06:24:16 +0000 http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/120991-which-watch/ Thursday W/C http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/120990-thursday-wc/

An Albany NY jeweler is having a fifty percent off sale; which will include some watches. I bought my Mark XVI there. I called today and they said most of the watch inventory is stock that has been around for a year or longer.

Northeastern fine jewelry is their name.

Before I consider ordering ETA screws from cousins.uk, i wanted to check whether silver screws from 28.9K Asian 7750 will fit 21.6K Asian 7750 thats standard on V2/V4 HBBs.

I have few Asian 7750 movements in the closed caseback watches that have silver screws. Could be a cheap route to put silver screws in HBB 21.6 k movement and blue ones in the 28.8K movement (since no-one will really see it behind closed caseback anyway).

Has anyone attempted this? Will it work?]]> Wed, 18 Aug 2010 17:42:20 +0000 http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/120971-can-i-retrofit-silver-screws-from-highbeat-7750-into-lowbeat-7750/ Forum GTG in Germany: the first DE official edition :-) http://www.rwgforum.com/topic/120968-forum-gtg-in-germany-the-first-de-official-edition/

- Hotel located at walking distance from a good common friend home of both forums who was attending the last EU GTGs in Brussels.
- Restaurant already set up with a 30€ menu, in the hotel to make it easy, and a 19€ all you can drink for 6 hours (Andy, Rob ...that will be a loss for the place to have us all isn't it :whistling:

- Attending: probably most of the EU GTGs attendees and hopefully YOU and all great members we didn't see since the Köln GTG back then :band1:

.
You know who you are ...and shame on you as we miss you :irvine:

Everybody welcome: members, friends, GF and wives, cats and dogs. :group:

Ok, please post here if you are willing to join...

Then, Colonel Andy and myself will coordinate that event (edit to say: and merge with our RWI brothers) :cowboy:

Cheers and look forward to another exiting event :notworthy:

He's outlines a new QC model. He is now delivering pics, including pics of watch on the timing machine, and waterproofing for watches $200 and up.

Sounds like a positive step...

How're you doing now? This is Ally, ever followed your orders
when i worked for timeshops.net. Now I'm working in the
watch market where timeshop purchase its goods, selling same
items (wristwatches, designer handbags, fashion accessories).
For most handbags/wallets, price is $30-$50 cheaper than
timeshops's.
If you have anything to buy or want to know some information
about this market, you can contact me with this email address:
ally_liuliu@hotmail.com or skype:allyliuliu. I'm always online.
Due to this company I m working for mostly deal with Chinese
dealers, they haven't got an English website yet, any item you
want to check pls send me URL link(from timeshops or any other
websites) or goods photoes, I will try to give you quick response.

If this mail bothers you, Pls forgive me and mark it as spam.
Wish you have nice shopping here!!!

Thanks & Best Regards!
Ally
