Let's Talk Watches - Page 94 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

It must be. 49mm is ridiculous for today even. Also, clicking that link set off all sorts of malware alarms. The pics are hosted on some bogus site but otherwise there doesn't appear to be anything harmful. I would wonder what the seller is doing hosting images on a shady site like that, though.

I found another one hopefully without virus' this time sorry. I just copied and pasted the Ebay link btw. It is indeed a pocketwatch conversion this one is 50mm! I just love Glashutte cases in general and the faces on these examples/conversions are stunning.

Then you need to find a more reputable seller of replicas.

There exist forums for such things, with lists of reputable as well as sketchy retailers.

How about a Seiko SCVS005? About $350.

The SCVS007 version is the same but with a cream dial and gold numerals/hands. These have the 6R15 movement which is very nice for the money.

Really like this from way back in the thread, especially for the price. How would someone in the US go about getting this?

Seiya-san doesn't stock this model but he can probably get it.

There are a couple of other authorized dealers who will export JDM (Japan Domestic Model) pieces, chino and hiiguchi. All are very reputable.

Seriously.

I like the general design of the Admirals Cup (although when i put it on it was way too wide and tall), so was pretty interested when i read that Corum were going to be designing watches to give to WSOP bracelet winners. I couldn't believe that thats what they came up with when i googled it....

Where did you get it with poker points, and why did you get something with such a high $ value if you weren't sure about it?

where i got it, sry, like to keep that private.... but i got it bc of the high $ value..... most bang for my buck in other words, other items u get less value per point. Also, i figured i could sell it if in a pinch.
