nunu78 1,743 Posted September 3, 2012 As I said, I have a Portuguese and was waiting for a decent Miramar rep but think I'll give in and order a Top Gun. Or maybe a Big Pilot. Or a 3717 You have no idea what you're letting yourself in for! Mate you are bit late, as I've just post my Top Gun V2 to USA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know, I was very tempted but I'm not letting myself buy any watches until I've finished my SD project, got to spend $400 on the dial. Just bad timing otherwise I would have bought it in a flash.

scorpion 0 Posted September 3, 2012 G'day Mate, Huan Ying, Velkommen, Welkom, Bienvenue, Willkommen, Benvenuto, Dzieñ dobry, and Welcome. The best advice most people here will give is to buy only from the Trusted Dealers because they are trusted and they deal in watches! This place may well cost you a lot of money but stick with the trusted dealers and you will get a lot for that money. And read, read , read - its all in the threads ENJOY.

cromag 0 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) Welcome aboard! Stick with TDs. Here's a pic of the Mark XVI on my 6.5"; wrist. I really like it. I got that one from a fellow member but have another order from Angus at PureTime. I have a 42mm 3717 incoming from him and the new version of the 39mm Mark XVII just came out so I'll be getting that if it comes with SS bracelet. Here are some generic pics; 3717 XVII Edited September 3, 2012 by cromag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cromag 0 Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) I mean 41mm Mark XVII (not 39mm). The Mark XVI is 39mm. Edited September 3, 2012 by cromag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic 0 Posted September 3, 2012 That looks nice aswell. I will have to have a look at PureTime. Still waiting for a reply from 3 of the dealers. Im so impatient Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cromag 0 Posted September 3, 2012 Impatience will cause you a lot of grief in the rep game. Probably rule number one this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magic 0 Posted September 4, 2012 Just ordered 2 IWC's from WI. I did some reading into the 7750 as suggested on here and decided to go with Quartz. For the price on WI I thought it was worth it. I will post a review when they arrive. Thanks again for the help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted September 4, 2012 Excellent choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prancuzas 0 Posted September 4, 2012 For the price that You paid you get decent watches, trust me. Just would recommend sourcing new straps for them because rep ones are 'paper feel'. Have a look here, people say that BOB straps are worth every cent and even more! http://www.waccex.de/catalog/index.php?cPath=282&osCsid=dnffpco4c6qn6sueegbk8t93k6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
