FlyingSpur 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Found this guy on craigslist... he then referenced his Facebook page. He claims to upgrade reps to 1:1 Here is his spiel. If you are sick and tired of buying a replica and they either tarnish or simply stop working after a few months or maybe you simply want something that looks and feels IDENTICAL to the real thing you have come to the right place!! I have a workshop where we pick up very rare pieces from pretty seldom top factories and we do extra modifications to them! Off Course there will be a premium added to the price but from my experiences with people, they rather get a piece that is spot on and will function for years rather than 3 pieces that dont look identical and will stop working after 3-6 months! For more serious watch lovers that dont have the $$$ for an authentic or maybe want the replica daily and their originals for more special events -- contact me! Wont be disappointed and will 100% be back again for more purchases! In terms of modifications -- this is what we do: - First of all -- ALL correct markings accordingly! - ALL functions as they should such as stop/date/second arm etc - Weight and size identical to original (316F stainless steel on all watches -- NO cheap brass material) - Changed to SWISS ETA 2836 - 28800bph (ALL watches) - Changed to real Sapphire glass (Replicas usually have plastic) - Changed to a real ceramic bezel (Rolexes) - Date window changed to 2,5x magnified (Rolexes) - Extra added and an even lume on arms and hours markers (All watches) - Upgraded clasp and bracelet -- Authentic leather on leather straps (All watches) - Rolex crown engraved in the glass at 6 o'clock! (Rolexes) - Reg number engraved in rehault at 6 o'clock! (Rolexes) - Air pressure tested for 100% Waterproof - SWAROVSKI crystals used on "blinged" watches! Pictures are in daylight and don't shine nor do make justice! - 5 fils of gold plating on plated watches -- normal replicas have 1 fil only! Wont tarnish! - 1 Year Warranty! --------------------------------- He shows pics of many varieties of watches... his Facebook page is ILuxury Timepieces.. Any thoughts?

FlyingSpur 0 Posted January 22, 2017 Here is the link to the Los Angeles craigslist ad... he claims the pics are from the actual watches... Link removed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RUSH2112 11 Posted January 22, 2017 He takes PayPal. Interesting. The claims he is making and the costs don't add up to me though. Where is getting all the Swiss movements from? If it was that easy to get Swiss movements the reps would have them. A TC sub is about $600 w/o any gen upgrades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Santaros 0 Posted January 23, 2017 so he can source real sapphire crystal ? wow thats very rare indeed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Santaros 0 Posted January 23, 2017 (edited) Most of the high end reps do exactly what he claim for the third of that price.... so whats the point anyway ? Edited January 23, 2017 by Santaros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingSpur 0 Posted January 23, 2017 I don't shill... if that was directed to me... but I did check the LA craigslist for rolex watches and he was mixed in with the good and the bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Santaros 0 Posted January 23, 2017 I don't shill... if that was directed to me... but I did check the LA craigslist for rolex watches and he was mixed in with the good and the bad. But hope you aware now that those mod claims are total bullshit, especially about reps and plastic crystals ( uhm vintage rolex anybody) and sourcing gen parts.... And why buy a shit rep to mod it when you can just have a v7 or so ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FlyingSpur 0 Posted January 23, 2017 Well, the pics looked nice ... but I suspected it was BS and that's why I posted here for confirmation. I recently ordered a Rolex from BK... it's a 3 week wait. BK pretty much only "tweeks" Rolexes, which is ok... I just wish I knew of another that is as meticulous with Breitlings and other brands... any help? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
