First, I must warn you that this series is for 18 and older. It has sex, violence and coarse language.

This will be one of the shortest reviews I have ever done. Why?

I loved this series. The second generation is my favorite, so I was happy that it was about them. The writing is not the best, but I still enjoyed it. It includes the same characters that we followed in the series, which I loved.

So, if you have seen this series and loved it, you should check this book. If not, start with the TV show. It’s really the same kind of series.

It makes me miss this gang. Loved them. Wish they could be back.

7/10

  2. Er zijn drie sub-wijzerplaten op het gezicht van het replica horloges nederland en ze zijn erg subtiel getoond dat ze er niet uitzien alsof ze hebben hun eigen afzonderlijke mechanismen. De chronografen zijn voor uren, minuten en seconden. Het uur markers zijn allemaal verhoogde zilver rechthoeken het vrijmaken van meer onroerend goed op de wijzerplaat die zou zijn bezet door nummers. De 12-uurs merk wordt vervangen door de koninklijke Rolex logo. Het uur, minuut en tweede handen zijn allemaal zilver en zeer zichtbaar in contrast tegen de zwarte wijzerplaat. Door nu, moet je je afvragen waar de replica horloges rolex datum venster. Helaas is er geen datum venster dat is heel teleurstellend. De bezel is helemaal zwart met tachymeter markeringen. De kroon is zwart ook de weergave van de Rolex-logo en wordt geflankeerd door twee ronde drukknoppen aan beide zijden.
