I guess I have to watch this thread now... [PO addict]

I went to Mauritius a dozen of times... but I guess that's easy when you had been living for 20 years in an island that's 200 km far from Mauritius Like everyone, I'm more interested in the photo of the second post

Too bad. Although I live in Brussels, I'm not there on may 23rd. In another country, in another hemisphere... bad timing :s

A7750 is the standard movement in replica chronograph watches. When they replicate a watch, they don't replicate the movement, they take one that has the good size...

Almost every watches with 7750 are asian movement. A genuine valjoux 7750 is expensive...

Hi Bub. Be careful, when you buy your first one, you become addicted. You can also buy from PT, another excellent dealer in UK. But UK customs aren't troublesome, so the other dealers can be considered as well.

Et quelques fran

Some pics :

It spoils the fun. Bad rotor noise makes me doubt about the Swisss ETA 2836-2, and date changing at the wrong time is a bit annoying since it's a silly flaw that could have been avoided. If I can check the first thing and correct the second, no doubt I'll fall in love with this watch. O boy, throw it with the garbages

Thank you for your replies. I thought pics were superfluous since everyone post about this model since PT announced it. But if I can get a good light this evening, I'll take some pics and post them here. Is there any specialist on the model number ?

Hi, I ordered PT's Submariner "supreme edition", the same as By-Tor's (non engraved version, flat S...), my very first one. Payed on sunday, in my letterbox on wednesday. That's fast ! But I am somewhat doubtful. Maybe someone can help the noob I am. 1) I expected to see "16610" on the case, but "11610" is written. I have no idea what are the differences between the two in the first place... Guys ? 2) the rotor's noise sounds cheap (keep in mind I'm a noob, maybe that's the way it's supposed to sound). I guess a bit of lub on the rotor axis should help making a "smoother", less "metallic" noise. Alas, I don't even have the tool to open the case. 3) date is changing at 11:39. A cheap repair once again, but even if I had the tools, I don't have the skills to do it. And I don't know any rep-friendly watchmaker. Come on, how could they build these beauties and make these mistakes ? I guess that's why Eurotimez mentions the checking in his QC policy. 4) clasp is tight as hell. But a fellow rwg member advised me to use a bit of WD-40 on it. Must buy it first I guess neither 2) nor 3) justifies a claim to PT (unless you have a different opinion). Stephane is kindly inspecting the watch for me next week, but any help or remark from the community is gladly welcomed.

I am here... and I just ordered my very first submariner And as Stephane said, we didn't find any watchmaker in Brussels to help us... yet...

Welcome belgian newbie. You're not alone

Hi from Belgium too

Or grab a beer. Sure, any time

Too bad I got in a car accident recently. It's in no condition to do such a trip, and I'm bringing it to the garage only on monday. I wasn't aware that you where from Brussels, I thought you were living in France. Bad guess.

For those who are in Brussels this weekend, there is the Bruxellensis Festival, "characterful beers festival". More info on here Not a big fiesta like the beer weekend of last weekend, but where there is beer, there is me

I agree with Toadtorrent. With Sony and Pentax, you get the image stabilization the cheap way (in the camera body). It's much more expensive with Nikon and Canon since you have to buy IS lenses. With Sony, you'll probably have an easier time finding used lenses on ebay since every Minolta AF lenses are compatible. Go with Nikon only if you plan to upgrade on more advanced segments later.

Don't worry, I'm no administrator but if the thread continues for too long in french, they might say something since it's in the rules that all posts must be in english. It seems that it's tolerate here. Tu verras que le forum est une bonne source d'informations

Beware... you're supposed to post your public messages in English fellow frenchmen

How did you remove the black paint on the back ?

Can't we expect some reliability problems with the running secs @ 3 ?

That's all I needed to know, thank you By-Tor. BTW, I chose this watch because of your review

Hi everyone I recently bought my first replica watch : an Aquaracer Chronograph Day Date. Everything seems fine, except one thing : the day changes at about 2:30 while there's no problem with the date (it changes at 00:00). It bothers me a little, since it doesn't seem to be a right behaviour. Is there a way to fix this ? or should I contact my dealer (PT) for this ? (and I will post pics when the bracelet is resized )
