I'm waiting for the day when Ale's gonna rant about how they got the damn composition wrong for the lever pin. Instead of 0.030% carbon they put 0.035% . How hard is to use a fing scale, common guys get this right.

Sorry...way off topic here but I just looked at your gif on your sig from start to end..:thud:
Market where people buy and sell to fool people. They try to sell them as gen on gray market. Damn lots of markets.

Na, not the $1500 one. For a fair while there near every example on eBay was a fake and even ADs were missing the fact.
Mind you the current ultimate (around 650 I think yes?) is damn near as good just without gen MVT.

Woop I stand corrected, still some left. The deployant is not gen, it just doesn't have the same feel as a gen one. The rest of it however is either gen or perfect 1:1 replica.

No, the top of the line reps are sold to crims to onsell as genuine watches. The Cartier is one example. Even if they could get them (which the average dealer can not) think for a minute, would you as a TD want to sell a 2 or 3 thousand dollar watch to you lot? "But the 'Swiss Made' is .25 of a mm too high!" Or the nightmare risk of offering a customs guarantee on a 3k watch? These things are sold in bulk to "certain organisations" not on the street.

Exactly! Which is why Robert (who did deal in these 1:1 watches) wouldn't sell 1:1 (for want of a better term) stuff here. We talked about it and both of us decided it wouldn't be worth the effort when the 1:1 brigade descended with their claims of .25mm errors. So basically the anals cost you guys access to this stuff. That and impossibility of guaranteeing customs clearance on a 1.5 to 3k watch. You can't afford to resend something that owes you 1000 plus.I remember when these Cartiers where released, damn fine watch: the 1:1 brigade where still trying to tear it apart
Yeh he had his fingers in loads of pies, cigs, importing cars, diamonds, Christ I can still remember the story he told about the diamonds.
You and the misses can go out in style when your rockin the new Gp :hehehe:
