So, after all this..... I realized I've never posted my Submariner.  Or, my Huawei watch, which no one will care about :)

 

It, also, is a Gate cheapie. I bought it to replace a Submariner that my boss had given me, and I like this one so much that I WILL replace it at some point with a higher end rep.  It has a very nicely printed dial, the date wheel magnification seems to be pretty close (only reason I know that is because my eyesight is shit and I can read this one) Bezel is tight, zero slop or play in it.   Lume is also pretty good, especially for a Gate watch. This one was $56

But.... I kinda LIKE the hologram sticker there. In fact, yesterday I had someone who has several gens ask me if the reps come with those stickers lol.  That same person asked me where I've been getting them too, because he'd like to patronize the site himself.  I KNOW the sticker is wrong, I just didn't give a damn! :)

 

Ok, the only other person here who would care about the Huawei is you. Maybe @dwagner309, and you're already in the process of figuring out your own Huawei ;)

No. One or two I was tipped off to, the others I've searched for, some extensively.

That one is green. The DSSD Deep Blue has a blue lume.

Only three of them I bought drunk. The IWC, The SpaceX, and the VC. I think. Now I can't remember. Fuck.

I've discovered, and been helped with, the fact that if you're going to shop the Gate be patient. If you don't like what you're looking at, move on. Your first instinct is usually right, and I've actually made a purchase and then turned around and cancelled it.  You CAN commit to buying an item, without actually paying for it immediately.   I've had some tutelage both from @Glaude, and from @Thommo82 on how to shop the Gate. So far, so good, but there IS a lot of shit to sort through.

I'm not familiar with the DSSD - which didn't stop me from ordering one - but - what's the story with the cyclops? I see from looking online that some have one, and some don't. I see @MrTimeZone latest Rolex additions and the NOOB's have the cyclops on them... Is no cyclops indicative of a rep of an older generation?

The Sea Dweller Deep Sea DSSD and DSSD D-Blue 116660 44mm do NOT have the cyclops.

The Sea Dweller SD4K 116600 40mm does NOT have the cyclops

Only the new Sea Dweller SD43  2017 Baselworld 126600 43mm have the cyclops.

Hope this help ... McGilli

And now. I'm going to add an unexpected addition to my collection!

Very, very big thank you to @dwagner309, this arrived in the mail today. Apparently Canada Post has been operating with their head up their asses.  No real surprise there. 

I give you the Richard Mille skull RM 052 tourbillon!

And now, my Yachmaster cunt watch. A gift from the illustrious @Luxuracer, my wife stole it upon receipt. I have now stolen it back. It is quartz, and has a lume albeit a shitty one. Keep extremely good time, because it's a quartz . I expect it to keep good time. It's a DHGate watch, and is every inch a Gate watch. It looks great however. Here it is.
