2013 Hong Kong Watch Fair Coming Soon
watches-dealer will return to the Hong Kong Watch & Clock Fair this September to once again explore the world of watches from a more Eastern perspective. The largest show of its kind, the Hong Kong watch show is an amazing "Timepiece Extravaganza" (their words) that better reflects the broader watch market compared to the mostly high-end demographic that we tend to focus on when covering Baselworld or SIHH.One of the most interesting aspects of the show is being able to understand what technology or material is really becoming popular and mass produced.

Looking for experienced thoughts on buying watch with this RSC report
Looking for guidance from you more experienced buyers. Would you hesitate to buy a watch that has the following RSC report? Watch is a 2008-9 Milgauss GV.

I'm not positive how the repair works to know if it can be fixed without taking anything away from it. For example, can the case lugs and worn bracelet be fixed without a complete replacement?
