Pentax 0 Posted October 21, 2010 Stainless steel gen is better than a rep 18K gold anything. +1 gazillion Already have a stainless steel Gen! I have been wearing rolex gen since I was 18! My first rolex was a dateless sub and at 22 I got a sub with date. I can buy a solid gold gen rolex anytime! Its just the idea that perfection comes to a point were its not viewable by the naked eye. Why pay more when you can pay less? Why are you guys collecting reps I am sure if you sell half your reps you can buy a new gen or a third of your reps a good used one:-) Lets say my watch does not come, out of sheer egoism I will buy a Gold Gen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Epic. Btw, all customs from the world x-ray mails... =) I cross finger for you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star 0 Posted October 22, 2010 WOW...I am so encouraged by this thread, that if it turns out to end really really good, then that clinches it for me-I'm going to order that 'penis enlargement kit' that I see in my spam box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't wait Star - go for it now - it really works - bit of bruising, some discoloration - bits drop off the end after a few weeks - infections, they are mild - but all that inflammation really give you an amazing enlargement - just hope it starts to look better or I ain't showing it to anyone......

KBH 7 Posted October 24, 2010 Here's some pictures of a vintage genuine Rolex strap and buckle from the 70's on one of my DJ's. I know you'd want something a little flashier for the Day Date but this works pretty good for my old DJ cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pentax 0 Posted October 24, 2010 KBH is the buckle Gen or Rep? I looked as some on Ebay and found some good prices on stainless steel ones that could be GP'ed don't know if they are gen or fake though. Some fine looking watch for a casual wear Look! I like the colors of the roof tile red leather strap mixed with the gold bezel and stainless body well done! KBH. You have good tast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
