Hi I was just wondering if the SEC @ 12 Movement has improved at all. The one that I bought has failed and had defects that I posted in my other Post. I sent it back to Joshua and then I got it back only to have the same problems I dunno what to do I like the look of the watch but at the current moment the watch doesn't run for more then an hour and even then its off by 20 minutes by then I want to buy another one but not if that's how the movement is.

Thats good man I Sent my AP ROO Rubberclad back to Joshua and got it back a couple weeks ago and it has the same problems as before. I'm so disappointed. I think it was the same watch also as the back had scratches on it from when I first opened it up when Joshua told me too.

Ok I just got my replacement AP ROO rubber clad from Joshua and at least the movement works in this one the only thing is when I move my hand I can hear the rotor spinning around inside and can slightly feel it too. It's annoying loud I want to know if it is ok to remove the rotor and make the watch a manual wind instead? Or will I damage anything? I ask this because i took the rotor out of the old one and it kept time ok for a few days before the movement stopped completely.

Well it looks like my watch and the $580 I've paid for it was a total wash I shipped the defective item back to Joshua and now I have no clue where it is.The tracking number they give me isn't really a tracking number supposedly it's Untraceable. And now I'm convinced I'll never see it again. It has now been 18 days since I shipped it and I don't know what to do.. I just want a working AP ROO like I paid for now what.Has this happened to anyone else?

Just to chip in... Saw one at an AD, and I can tell you like most HBB reps, this one is SPOT ON.

Yes, no logo at the side too. The RG version however, carries this logo. No logo on tantalum.

So is the RG version correct? I always thought it was far off.

One thing I suggest if someone has contact with the manufacturer is if they can fix the issue of the Menu text being off. And also allow the awesome built in stereo speakers for a speakerphone I would REALLY like that. Maybe they can fix that stuff through a USB software update.

Thanks Sql_Pl

Update after using it for the last few days

1) Phone will only read the first 250 names off your SIM card ( My SIM card has space for 1000 names)

2) Cant get my wap browser to work yet

3) Good signal coverage - recovers well losted signal as good if not better than the following phones I have tested Nokia 8800, Samsung i600, Samsung i900, Nokia E61

4) Battery Life - 2 days with heavy usage

5) Awesome stereo

That about sums it up.

Payment sent Maciek

I pm'ed you SQL_pl but i have no idea if you got it cause the message system doesn't show it was sent I want to order so if you didn't get the PM let me know.

Why would someone drop a Casio for a Panerai? Just to be cool?

Casios have calculator, alarm, remote control and a lot of other things that Panerais don't.....

Panerai is a step back - it only tells time.... so not-cool

EXACTLY!

just close the door..

went upstairs to change clothes.....

Ding Dong....

UPS deliverd my Vertu!!!!!

It is on the charger right now.....

Pics comming soon...!!

ps: UPS was charching me 21,20 euro

For those who asked about Flood lit keypad pics.

Aaach, you can all keep your Vertu's, rep or not.

If you want luxury metal bricks, in the words of a B-list French actor weilding a sword...."there can be only one"

Love it or (most probably if you're like me) hate it, you can't ignore it.

Weak before I buy that I'd buy a GEN Vertu at least it has 3G and a better camera along with Vertu Concierge service. Tag is crazy they should quit while they're ahead lol.

I have looked at the pics you say... and when clicking on a single one to maximize it opens on a new window and the website link is to "soundasia". This is another website that sells replica phones but looks not at all like vertuclone.eu

I am quite discouraged personally to get it from this site now after seeing this pic...

From lux phnes they come very expensive, and might even be from the same producer...

Thats because the pictures that vertuclone.eu has on their site is old or outdated because I got the same phone that Sql_pl recieved even though the pics on their site showed something different. I believe there is only one maker imo.

OK guys more pics and a Video of the menu that someone requested.

Pic with the Titanium phone and My SIG SAUER P220 Hand Gun. (I like Metal)

Video of the Menu software.

Thanks dude...

How's the Ti on this, John? Also, is the earpiece portion REAL ceramic?

The titanium looks and feels good but can use slightly better finishing where the two halves meet IMO .As for the Earpiece I can't honestly tell if it's real ceramic or not I guess I don't have enough experience with ceramic to tell. So I'll leave it for you guys to tell when you get yours but A.F.A.I.K It is. Overall I'm happy with it. It's a very high quality phone and I can't find too many faults with it I like the heavy weight also.The menu is pretty good there are some minor flaws but not enough for me not to like the phone I'm still getting to learn it and its functions and I'm going to buy a memory card as well.Definitely worth the money considering its less then the cost of a AP sec@12 lol.

Looks good mate. Possible to take a short video of the menu and options?

Cheers

Thanks ,Ya I'll make one tomorrow.

OK guys I just got my phone today from Vertuclones and It seems to be the same phone that SQL_pl recieved. Notice the phone I got in these pics do not match the ones on their site. So this must be the latest version.The shipping was fast it got here in 2 days. Here are a few Quick and dirty ones.

-Jon

This is interesting because the one that I got from Joshua although the rubber wasn't great it was def rubber all the way through and not steel because during my multiple attempts to fix the problem of the rotor falling off that I was having, I ended up cracking the bezel by over tightening the screw back and the screw just spun with no place to grab so I'm pretty sure if it was steel it wouldn't crack from such little force.

**Patiently awaits replacement from Joshua**

According to my FEDEX tracking number my Vertu from Vertuclones is gonna be here within 24 hours.

It looks like the phone that Vertuclone.eu is selling is probably made by the same people that make the phone that lux-replica-phones.com is selling for $899 these are some pics that were from the review at Phonesreview.co.uk that was taken down.

The back of the case.

The batteries that SQL_pl brought up.

The pic from vertuclone.eu

Jon Martin - please see the picture that I posted yesterday - it shows the back of the phone with back-cover and battery out. Here is where you can see the difference between older dualband and newer triband Ascent.

Dualband has sim-slot on the right side and memory card slot on the left. Also power pins that connect with battery are located on the left side here.

Triband is the opposite - battery pins on the right (under the camera lens), sim card on the left, memory card on the right.

There are also two versions of triband as far as I know. One with serial number plate that is not engraved as deep as it should and saying Model: Consellation instead of Ti and one that is correct (like in my pic).

Hope it helped.

Hmm well based on what your saying its possible that were shipping the old dual band model and now they are shipping the 3 band model because thats what I ordered so probably they just didn't update the pics?

I need the opposite my rubber strap barely makes it on my wrist.

OK so here is a final list:

1. pam112 - 1 x Black leather

2. watcher - 1 x Black leather

3. Edwin25 - 1 x Black leather

4. sul - 1 x Black leather

5. rkdk - 1 x Black leather

6. tonton2000 - 1 x Red leather

7. straight_six - 1 x Red Leather, 1 Black or Brown

I will now contact the dealer in order to find out if he's got that quantity in stock ready for immediate delivery (after he QC every piece - that's what I requested) and get back to all of you with payment info and other details.

What I found out yesterday is that what we are buying now is the newest Ascent Ti replica that is TRIBAND so it actually WORKS in USA and Canada!

So US-based members I am sorry for my previous misinformation.

If any of you would also be interested please feel free to let me know and I guess we can figure something out.

Thanks!

Wow I wish I had known this before I bought from vertuclone. But I wonder if there is just one maker of these units? And they just update them across the board? Are you sure the phone you have is dual band or is it the newer 3 band from the same maker? I got a response from vertuclone earlier saying they didn't have the color I wanted so I had to go with black (since I already paid). Oh well hopefully what I get is acceptable or I can at least sell it to a friend and get my $$ back to buy the one from your dealer if it is indeed different.
