    Customs snagged my watches!!! ARGH!

    I have a total of 16 watches between 2 different suppliers coming to me and one sent DHL from China and the other sent TNT from China. The TNT shipment usually comes to me here in Texas through Los Angeles and is doing so again without incident it seems, (I'll know tomorrow morning for sure)...

    I gave my son a rep Black Sub for his birthday and changed the band out to a leather strap. It looks surprisingly well that way. I'll try to get a picture of it and post it ASAP.

    Which of Your Watches gets the most compliments?

    Surprisingly, my black sub of all things. I would have though that a big ol' 45.5mm Planet Ocean would attract some looks. But that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Looking for ColaMariner Dial....

    Guess What!...I took the watch apart myself after thinking about it as to "Where the hell could it have gone?" and at first thought..."well it is small enough to slide in the date window..". I found it inside the crown tube! [smilie=hello2.gif] and it had a sliver of what looked like wood or...

    Looking for ColaMariner Dial....

    I have a great watchsmith guy here in town that does these things for me dirt cheap. I had bought a Breitling Navitimer used from a forum member and when it arrived the top subdial hand was broken off and there was a problem with the watchband and he fixed it for $8.00! So I'd get him to do...

    Looking for ColaMariner Dial....

    It was a $33 watch before shipping, so you may be right. But I would figure somebody has a connection to a factory that could come up with one. If not it becomes a daily beater or I guess I could always make it a "Pass Around Watch" and see what kind of fun everyone could have with it.

    Looking for ColaMariner Dial....

    Well from the looks of this dial it appears that the "lume" is simply nothing more than a little sticker dot piece if paper that glows in the dark for a few minutes. Anyone have an idea how much that would cost?

    Looking for ColaMariner Dial....

    I am looking for Colamariner dial for a Chinese 21j movement version. I got a watch with a defective dial face. (see attached photo). The dealer has sent me a replacement watch and said to keep this one, but can't seem to understand when I ask him about buying just the dial. Anyone know where...

    NATO Strap and Spring Bars - Where To Buy?

    I bought one from a guy on Ebay, he is in Florida, I am in Texas like you and it only took a couple of days. I was quite happy with the NATO band I got. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... OX:NEWLIST

    I bought a crappy Omega Rep!

    True..but the thing is that if I got what was in the picture as advertised, I'd be content with that. Being "self-employed" in a small town, I don't have the budget for $150-300 for each watch that I like. Not till my business takes off and I start making alot more money!

    I bought a crappy Omega Rep!

    Bought a few asian 21j watches from a vendor not on this board (I don't think..) and got what has to be the biggest piece of crap I have ever bought! Ordered an Omega Seamaster 007 Edition and got one that looked nothing like what he advertised. The picture I ordered from that is advertised as...
