  2. Watch Problems

    in General Discussion

    Posted · Edited by mr1973

    Actually i´m not talking about flaws at all, i´m just talking about broken watches, doa watches etc.

    We all know that a rep is a rep. But a rep is a still a watch that should do it´s only job -> showing the time.

    (Ok, that was a bit overdone, but that´s what watches are all about per definition ;-))

    My guess is that it is assembled in Asia. It is probably as German as my Swissmatic is Swiss! :lol:

    No chance, Archimede is one of the most respected watch companies in germany. You cant compare that to aeromatic 1912, tauchmeister etc.

    The watches are assembled in germany. Archimede even have their very own cases (made in germany as well).

    Don´t stone me to death now ppl, but dealers should replace the watch.

    Period.

    Mean, look at their profits on these reps. They´re much higher than those of regular (gen) watch dealers/shops.

    Dealers do have (or should i say, should have?) a direct connection to the rep factories, they are the link between the customer and the maker (pretty much like in the 'real world'). So, i dont wanna dream of warranty etc., but replacing a broken watch should be their hightes priority (customer care -> returning customers).

    Illegal goods or not. The principle is just the same.

    The Archimede watches are - without any doubt - one of the best watches money can get (at this price). Just check out the Archimede Pilot which is surely the most common Archimede watch.

    And, btw, they´re entirely made in Germany!

    Mr. Ickler is one of the most respected case manufacturer in Europe.

  16. Venus Copy Movement... Anyone Seen One For Sale Lately?

    in Watch Repair & Upgrade

    Posted

    Got a very nice 192 from Bricky last year (and just fell in love with it again :animal_rooster:), prob is that the venus copy (lemania, sea gull etc.) movement seems to be broken...

    Guess it´s a stem issue, but don´t know for sure. Actually i need the movement for spare parts.

    So, maybe anyone knows where to get one for a reasonable price?

    Saw one for over 100,- bucks lately - but that seems way to much for a chinese movement imho.

    Any help would be highly appreciated ;)

    I have just received an order from Paul today and have an order on the way from Andrew. I can definitely say they are NOT the same people. Packaging and shipping cities are different as are the products they carry. Paul may be just be lazy or uses the same factory and didn't have stock to take his own pics. JMO.

    Please do say that this is not serious :g::thumbsupsmileyanim::thumbsupsmileyanim:
