12 days after I was givin the tracking number it works ya!!!! I just hope it clears customs! Man this is like ridding a roller coaster

Good to know it not showing up makes me nervous, Heck ill just wait it out

Ok I ordered a watch on the 18th and It was sent out. I have an EMS tracking number and it does not show up in there system when I try and use it.

When I use track a single item I get this error: 信息提示:No information for this tracking.

When I use Batch tracking I get this:

Till 2008-02-27 13:32:59 0 Items Delivered 1 of Total Trackings

I have no idea what this means am I doing this right?

Thanks

Ya look him up in the collector area I am sure he will work with you on this

First have you talked with Andrew? He is a great guy and I am sure he will take care of you. Also can you post pic or a link to the watch on his site? Thanks

Chris

This thread is getting good gotta find my Popcorn! :jerry:

Rolex movement Pam Sold 82,000 USD

Complete Combo set awesome

I agree with some of the members posting here that Angus is going downhill. I ordered a Pam 89 from him way before CNY and it arrived with the hour and minute hand not working and a screw was broken so one of the straps fell off the minute I pulled it out of the package. I read post after post of Angus looking at watches before sending out, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda...BU!!sh!T! I don't believe any second that he examined my watch before sending out. I got it looked at by a watchsmith who fixed the watch, and told me something was bent inside it!!! WTF!!! Ok, so maybe Angus can't see into the watch, but how about the strap falling off since the screw was clearly broken in half!!!

So now I'm still waiting to hear back from Angus whether or not he will pay for, or partially pay for the repair bill on this watch, but haven't heard anything since he's supposedly getting his F$%!* website up and running...for three weeks now!!!

I'm totally disappointed since Angus is so highly regarded on all these boards! C'mon Puretime, either you're ready for the big time or you might as well be one of these guys in China Town that sell the crap we're not willing to pay for, and the whole reason why we're all here going to dealers like you!

Yikes Note to self never buy from Angus I will send my Money else where. Don't want to bother with that mess, not even take the chance

Chris

dang this stinks (pun intended) I was going to order a SC strap but don't want a stinky

Thanks I got it from Tonyxkf's (of CQout) own personal website, watch-ebay.net. He advertises it at $199. I got it for the mentioned price, as I asked for a price in GBP, and that was what he asked for it. I admit, I do buy quite regularly from Tony, for presents for friends and relatives, so that was likely a discounted price. Either way, I'd've been quite happy to've paid the $199 list price. Other than a very slight rattle in the crown guard lever (I think the tube is set slightly too far in the case) it's fine. I'm planning on sending it to TWP for his 'plume' treatment, and I'm hoping he'll be able to tweak the tube at the same time (if I touch my fingers to the inside of the crown, not even really applying pressure, that is enough to hold it firm against the lever, so we're talking about a hair's width miss-setting of the tube, so hopefully, not too hard to rectify, and certainly not worth sending it back over )

Thanks do you have a link to his site?

Chris

looks wonderful I love it. the strap makes that watch.

Victoria I like your new avatar it makes me laugh.....................

Sounds like a winner do you have pics?

Standard C3 Luminova for L Swiss L "B" series

Know that is knowing your watch

Nice Fiddy I love it!

This really stinks I am very glad that I have learned about Reps so that I do not make the mistake of buying what I think is a gen and its a rep. Can you guys please look at this watch for me and tell me what you think. I could use a good ROLEX expert to help point out the flaws and why it's a Rep.

Ebay auction number: 200198621452

I have contacted the buyer and advised them that the watch is a rep Ebay did not shut down the auction in time. If you guys can offer any clues that I can giver her to help her identify this as a fake it would really help.

Read the persons auction he says he misplaced the box and papers!!! Who does this on a 5k watch

Chris

Hey Lifter,

Did you find a good dealer here in CONUS? If you don't mind, could you let me know who you decided to purchase from and why? Also, what types of upgrades did you end up getting? Thanks.

I found this...

http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=1841

It does describe it as being an "ultimate", but I'm not sure if it is. Also, it states that it has a Swiss movement, but how can you be sure? It doesn't state if it has re-lumed dial and hands either, which is very important for what I'm looking for.

What do you guys think? Is this a good dealer? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ztech, First I am very new here and have been reading this forum like a mad man for the past few days. I mean 6-8 hours a day on and off to all hours of the night: D and I love it. There is a heck of a lot to learn and I have only been reading about Panerai.

I am not sure where Andrew is located but I am sure that the watch will be coming to me from over seas. Pretty sure the watch will be dropped shipped could be wrong.

The main reason that I chose Andrew is because of the positive feedback that I have read about him and his customer service is top notch. I wanted to make my first purchase as easy as possible and he accepts credit cards. Plus as Victoria puts it peice of mind, If I get a bad watch or something goes wrong knowing that Andrew will fix it ranks high in my book. I don't want to have to hassle and beg to get something fixed.

Before you pull the trigger on a fiddy or 47mm search "exploding fiddy" the glass tends to break, I

Wheew I did it I finally pulled the trigger, after a lot of thought and a lot of reading and looking I finally made my first Rep purchase!

I ordered the Pam005 from Andrew. There where some things that I was looking for in my first purchase of a rep and I wanted to make sure that the watch had those.

I wanted a big watch 44mm or bigger and wanted it to be auto. I really wanted a fiddy or 47mm but did not want to spend the $$ to get one from Davidson to prevent getting an exploding one.

Also I wanted a watch that is believable I really like the looks of the Pam203 but a 24 year old kid walking around with a watch that retails for 100k is not too likely. I used a picture of the GEN here

http://www.essential-watches.com/watch.aspx?ID=11209

and the Rep here

I sat and stared for a good 5 min and the rep looks pretty good. Well we will see I can

Victoria and others I need your help.

Just got done speaking with Andrew (great guy btw) and he informed me that the PAM000 Logo is no longer in production . So it's time to pick another watch from him. He recomended the PAM005 but I would rather have this PAM203 that I found but would like some advice from the lady and you guys.

If I am reading this correct it's a 47mm that is auto not a PAM127 but a PAM203 http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...p;products_id=9

The Crown and the CG look nice and beefy. Your input before I pull the trigger

Oh ya it's fake weak Crown and Crown guard L swiss L to close to 6 Ebay is full of fakes I would never buy a PAM off of Ebay

Here are some more fakes, the CG and C give them away every time.

Thanks a lot for the heads up scam or not!

I passed 200 straps around Christmas, and I'm still going, Lifter. Panerai is alllll about collecting. It's the original recycle watch.

Just to note, please please buy one Strap Culture strap at a time. Then you can see if you like the texture, thickness, and smell (they sometimes smell really badly -- bad leather construction, I suppose).

Good show about the V strap!

Once again thanks a lot for the wonderful heads up. I can only afford one at a time..........lol

Hopefully I wont get a stinky!

this site is going to be the death of me. I read last thing before I go to bed and look at me Im here first thing in the AM.

Chris

OMG I am going to go broke buying straps before REPS.................

I think I am going to go with a SC Legand II for my first strap and also buy the one from V that you posted because it well..................looks amazing.

NICE AND THICK
