JohnG 41 Posted July 22, 2009 pretty cool looking watchgood price, does that one also come with sapphire crystal? according to Josh's description, yes. Pretty amazing price from Julia. And this rep uses the EXACT movemen that is in the gen - an ETA Quartz. Been thinking about getting the M16 Lumtec automatic:http://www.lum-tec.com/m_automatic_2009 I hate you.

phaedo 0 Posted July 22, 2009 On the radar next, although next at the moment will take a few months right now, a FM crazy hours, still don't know wich dial, a yellow dialed Breitling seawolf and what i would really like is a gen Breitling Super Avenger with the white battons dial. Need to do a lot of work first though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, ETA makes quarz movements too - not just mechanical. Otto Frei's site sells a TON of them. Anyway, the Gen Tag F1 has an ETA quartz, and they say the rep uses the EXACT same movement.... really blurs the lines between rep/gen.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I rather a ROO though - I should mosey on down to the AD and check it out 1st... a tad more conservative over the Barrichello Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted July 22, 2009 Yikes. Watch number 4 this month. I just ordered a PWC ultimate Fiddy... Shoulda stuck to crack... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alphakazi 0 Posted July 22, 2009 4? good job how much is that fiddy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted July 22, 2009 $299. An absolute bargain imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted July 22, 2009 4? What happened to "my asshole son in law, I have no money, no watches for me...."? Well at least you sold the laptops, can pay Visa at the end of month... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted July 23, 2009 Okay it is official - this is coming from Julia - the F1 quartz.... Josh sells for $138 + shipping. I had some store credit for a clasp that was returned ($35) and with shipping and PP fee, minus the credit, she is sending it to me for $70.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted July 23, 2009 Nice! I farking love that lum-tec one though, pictured above, but I can't afford the money they're asking for it Next for me (when they turn up...) is the Portuguese 1939, the WM9/BK SD, and I think I'll probably get a getatwatch panerai homage after I've picked up a couple of cheap Parnis ones off ebay (crosses fingers lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted July 23, 2009 4? What happened to "my asshole son in law, I have no money, no watches for me...."? I was wondering the same thing. Son-in-law is still an asshole, but I'm totally out of control.... The homages were cheap enough not to worry about, but I couldn't miss this Fiddy, or the 183. :P Well at least you sold the laptops, can pay Visa at the end of month... Yup - I got it covered, fortunately. Another couple of laptops to sell, so I should still end up ahead - just not as far ahead as I was expecting. I really DO have to stop for a while again now . ... but I need some straps... Nice pickup on the Tag btw - looks like a real good deal! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup - after getting rid of my SSD, didn't have any true sport watch left - so this will fill the bill. I will wear it when I am pretending to be Fernando Alonso in my Citroen AX.... + = Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pollux1 3 Posted July 23, 2009 John, let us know what the Tag is like when it arrives, it seems to be good bang for the buck. Im in the pre-order for a seadweller from wm9, and I'd like a nice Breitling, or either a Radiomir or decent PAM. I'm sitting here just admiring the HBB I have with chief's A/R, seriously it's hard to even SEE the crystal from inches away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
