Once while wearing a Panerai someone noticed it and said: "I've eaten there, but I didn't know they sold watches"....

Newest addition to the collection...

nice watch

They come looking spanking new, then over time the plating wears off to reveal the brass underneath, like gen.

Possibly Mike but you know for any of these to be useful we need the real info. User names change at the drop of a hat. Hmm, what about all VIP members have to give the board their real name and address when they become VIP, and that must be used to send stuff too! then it's a matter of a quick search and kill the member if they go bad?

One good thing about an Asian etaclone is you can swap them out for a genuine Eta when they blow up. With a low or high beat Miyota clone there is nowhere to go except back with another myoclone because the dial and hands will not interchange with an Eta. Exact replacement high beat myoclones are hard to find because most of them come with a low canon pinion and the hands will be too close to the dial...might be able to swap the high cp/hour wheel out to the new movement though. Otoh when you pay the ransom for a swiss Eta it may be an old movement that needs attention or replacing. If it was my $$, I would go for the Plain Jane etaclone and be on the lookout for a fresh swiss eta just in case...but only if the watch is a 'keeper'. And then there is always 'Rep Rule #1' to consider... "There Ain't No Keepers" ...except a few Frankensteins. So who knows? Maybe an etaclone will last as long as you want to keep the watch. (After proof reading this post it seems I said nothing of value as usual)

Thanks for your input Rolexman

Nice new sub @ceocorona!

If it's a proven fact that one can get a Rep that they see on a TD site here, why wouldn't you do that instead of taking a chance of throwing away a couple hundo? Yes, some are not always a scam, but why risk it? Is your money not hard-earned? Can you just burn $$$ in a fire and not care? More power to ya, but I usually want to get what I order and not some brown-bag mystery gift.

Dustin' this one off for Sunday

Good grief you're in right trouble now

Resp are never perfect. Decide which flaw(s) you can live with.

Here you go mate
