the watch was sent back to the dealer and the dealer refunded me the full cost +shipping charges.

excellent service!

thank you all

You should know and be aware that most of the dealers do not refund shipping cost (with the excuse that they paid for it and that's a "risk" they want to share with the customer).

So consider your self lucky.

Did I miss something here? What does drop shipping a watch have to do with a watch that worked perfectly fine for 13 months? I support your view on drop shipping, but come on, that has nothing to do with this topic. The watch was worn for a year, then the helium valve fell off, that sucks, and probably contributed to the movement breaking. It looks like all the watch needs is a new HE valve which another member convered and a service which is never a bad idea anyway.

I know and you are right.

I just wanted to express my own pain.

Another sad story of a "brilliant absence" of any kind of QC

Some dealers (with dropshipping practices) are working with wholesallers and distributors (which are really the guys that actually pick up and send the watch to you).

Some or many of these guys , they simply have the "send them anything" attitude.

BAN DROPSHIPPING !!!

@vbarret and Chronus:

Since you like some much History of Religion (.... it's also one of my favorite subjects) , .... here is a good reading.

Note: For those who will spend time to read the entire page.

I agree with the explanation of

Good to see River back. One of the oldest and best dealers around.

Got my first daylight from him (4 years ago) ... still goes strong.

I just got mine (PAM 188 with 7753 and AR) ...... what a baby.

@fishgodeep: Still got some pics of the 188 to show here ??? Its a great watch.

How is the PVD on it.

Feels "delicate" to scratches ???

All of them are great.

Amazing idea and detail from the one of azgjav.

...... I will go for the lips though ...... btw, .... does Ola have "free" a sister ???

Why you have so few ??? You dont like Pams ???

..... nice collection.

Oh my god! You mean there is a dealer discussion area? I always wondered how dealers all have the same prices.

Have you tried this work-around (since I don't have his email to help you)?

Ooops .... some times one forgets the most simple things.

Thank you lady.

Can somebody pls pm me with Precious Time email address ???

All coms so far with him were done here through PMs but ist seems he has not logged in to the forum for that last 3 days.

Need to get in touch with him.

Thanks in advance

This actually comes with single (inner)- sided AR, mate... It's pretty difficult to "capture" the AR because of the crystal profile, which is really curvy and all... i'll be getting this double-AR'd with k2222 pretty soon, though...

...And as waht TWP mentioned, this GMT is really one of the most underrated watches around... Solidly built, and really beautiful....

Then there is something that I dont understand.

All Chop GMTs are made by one and the same manufacturer and that is confirmed.

On mine (panda dial) I can hardly see any AR ... and yes I do get reflections.

Comparing my Chop GMT to my single AR UPO 2824 , the UPO has much , much better AR.

So , do we have a case here where the UPO has true AR and the Cho GMT has "light" AR ???

Hi,

I'm wondering about the background of the thread...

If the intention is to say "don't hide defects in watches for sales", that makes sense. But again, you don't need Photoshop to cheat : have the problematic part of the watch not pictured, hide you have a defective movement etc... The question is not about using artifices, but about being honest. I think there's no direct relation between both things.

If you are talking about the Porsche P6910, I have seen it in the album of puretime...No review or availability, but it seems to have a loooong way to go to enter 'super rep' status.. So many flaws it is not worth it..

Hey .... what's up Geo

Long time no hear.

Morning Guys (and gals if any around).

I am reviving this topic for the following reason:

I just received my Chop GMT , white dials and black subdials.

Watch under test right now , so far runs OK in all aspects.

But ..... one thing that strikes me a bit is that the AR coating it looks rather "light" (Dealers claim single AR coating).

I compare it with my UPO 45 mm (single AR coating) and the AR looks much better and stronger on the UPO rather than the Chop GMT.

Added: The more I am checking the more I am convinced that the Chop GMT I received has no AR !!!!!

Any owners of both out there that can do a quick comparison and feed back pls ???

Many thanks

Bump ....... for an AR comparison between the Chop GMT and the UPO

I don't think mine has NO AR

You mean that has no AR either ???

My 2 drachmas.

My swett little drachma ...... for collection purposes now I am afraid.

---------------------------------

Back to the subject:

I understand the "hobby" side of it (retouching the pictures) and that's OK, but when trading , reviewing and comparing , people they try to judge both from the comments as well as from the look of the watch.

To me retouching the pictures is exactly the same as the Fashion and Goship magazines (btw , I dont read them, I hate them)

However, in my trade shots and wrist shots, you'll see untouched photos.

That's the spirit

Really pleased with the GMT...

@ Coolfire:

Can you pls tell us how is the AR on your Chopard GMT ???

There is also one member here (dont remembrer who ..... read dealer reviews for more) ... who, some how, has being scammed by Hompo.
