That one is a winner. Great rep.

Make sure to get the a7750 version.

Great rep but the strap kinda sux. Try to order a bracelet as well.

Look for crooked dial markers in your QC pics as that was a common problem with this model.

Feel free to PM me your QC pics. I have the same watch and I'm happy to help another Austinite out.

Great choice and good luck.

Anonymity is key.

Thanks everyone! RR of Austin, TX

Hey there R, that's a gorgeous watch, I saw the one go on sale recently, and am also very intrigued by it. I think I might try to grab one myself, do report back on your purchase.

Also, while what we do here is in a legal gray-area and each of us have our own moral justifications for it, it is certainly NOT advisable to openly advertise who you are ( RR of ATX? ) If you become familiar with certain members through transactions it is generally permissible to refer to them by their real names in private off-line conversations, but it is important to maintain your anonymity here ( and anywhere in the online world of replicas ) I would change your username, ( or sign up for another ) to an anonymous handle, edit your posts where you state your name and location, and maintain your anonymity from here on out.

this is a very friendly cool forum, but you want to make sure that you are not leaving any trace to your identity.

and btw, I'm a displaced 512'er myself. Do me a favor and go have the Machacado at Polvos with the ahumado salsa one day for breakfast for me. :)

-Dr.

Carrera 16 Chrono Limited Ed.

Greetings gentlemen! I have been looking all through the forum for who to buy a Carrera 16 from and all signs point to Marvellous. I have been in contact with him as his site is down. Does anyone have any advice/comments on this selection? And when and if I order, what should I be looking for in the QC pics before I approve the shipment? I really appreciate any info/help on this. I've been burned with 3 Rolex replicas I've purchased from Idealwatches.com in the past at over $1K a piece. Thanks everyone!

Yep - bad idea to publicize your true identity.
For instance, my name isn't actually Roger nor am I in Texas. I would have used my real name as part of my username, but I thought "BarryO" from Washington, DC might be a bit too obvious.

He gave away too much information on his original account. Instead of contacting Admin to help correct, he started a new account and username.
Noob move - I'm sure he meant no harm in it, Col. After all -- he's a Texan! So no worries, Mate. :txrob:

Thanks C for the support! Marvellous said the maker is on holiday and he doesn't know when he'll return. As an owner of this watch, can you recommend another TD? If not I can wait and will still PM you the QC pics. Thank you for helping me, a "noob", it is greatly appreciated my friend!
