I envy you.

Description says "no happy feet", but the happy feet are clearly visible!

If you pay premium for Swiss you shall receive one. Remember that you'll receive an old and dirty movement 9 out of 10 times.

Holy crap! I'm glad you're alright.

Happy birthday mate!

I might be cheap but I still think that > 300 $ plus shipping is quite expensive, considering that movements alomst need service and the absolute lack of quality control.

I'm pretty sure Silix have them.

This could be something, but why the limited edition?

I read somewhare that the Chinese customs now are monitoring outgoing shipments and stopping items that are not allowed in the country of destination and/or aiding the customs of destination. Sorry if this doesn't make any sense. I'm not native English speaking.

Trusty Time (Andrew) has always been my dealer of choice. Answers emails within a few hours. You pay a little extra but you'll get that extra service. I've only had one bad experience with Andrew when asking for a part that was missing from the crown guard of a PAM111. He could not source the missing part only sell me a crown guard. But that was one bad experience out of > 25 paurchases made from him, and to be honest it was not a huge problem. More like that you expect everything to be 100% alright all the time when your hard earned cash change hands.

I also stay away from 7750-movements. Some have great luck with them, but I have had no luck at all. When it comes to TDs it's a purely personal choice. I have dealt with a few of them and they all deliver what you pay for. Some are slow with email response some are lightening fast! Some provide quality control (QC)photos others don't. Some ship your watchs within days, others after a week or two. You get the point. You could read reviews of the dealers. They have their respective sections here.

To my knowledge the only movement that can be replaced with a Swiss ETA is the Asian clone ETA. All others have differnt sized hands and so on... I could be wrong though.

Welcome aboard! You have done your homework which is appreciated. To be honest I have had more luck with the asian 2813 than the Swiss movements (which are often dirty). I can't speak for the 48** though.

Stunning! Thanks for posting this.

I'm not to fond of gatorstraps or any exotic straps to be honest.

A friend of mine is looking for a small run of customized dials and hands with Superluminova. Anyone know where to look or who to contact?

That's a lovely watch!

It has been out for ages but it's a horrible rep. There are talks about a super-rep in the making.

Thank you all!

Wow! Don't know what to say.

Both Andrew and Josh offer trans-shipment via UK to avoid custom problems.

Please keep us updated during this process.

Have you tried the search function? Welcome by the way.

I just wanted to share that with you guys.

I can assure you that this site is NOT run by dealers.
