Baldrick 1 Posted January 14, 2014 Kleen: - albeit a complete fantasy... Don't you just love it when some noob 'HOROLOGICAL EXPERT' know it all tries to eat his shoe......

Kleen™ 45 Posted January 14, 2014 Ah, well - 'complete' might be a fairly incomplete stipulation of the fontographic fallacy involved in the replication of the dial, but none-the-less: a fantasy it is.

Baldrick 1 Posted January 14, 2014 It's a clone.....without any DNA.....but if you think it doesn't have ANY mitochondreal aspects...then go grow some tulips....I'm sure the market is still there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted January 14, 2014 It does have 'some' IWC in it - just not enough to convince me it wasn't a pffffantasie....;-) (had to look up mikoton...milo..mitchola.....the bloody m-word, ferfuxsakes....) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheInthusiest 0 Posted January 15, 2014 Some cracking watches on here for sure Let's see yours - with that alias you gotta have one, duncha? (not your watch, your penis...) Yes, indeed.

James. 4 Posted January 15, 2014 That is a real beaut! - albeit a complete fantasy... Not a fantasy at all. It's a rep of a IWC 3254. A very, very beautiful watch. -edit- I can see this has already been covered above :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
