  1. Im happy your having this issue resolved. The clasp pin Is loose on my Motors T and It looks like I have to purchase the entire Bracelet. That really sucks because the rest of the bracelet Is fine. Im trying to figure out a way to rig the pin so as It Is reasonably secure In relationship to the clasp.
  2. The exact same thing happened to me. I told my dealer about the problem and he said that the only fix was a new clasp. I purchased a clasp for $20.00. I actually purchased three of them for possible problems In the future. Now I dont have to change the clasp out everytime I change a pam strap,I hope this helps. Mike
  3. Thanks for the topic Lanikai,forgive me for going off a bit. I have looked back In watch history and there really wasn't that many big watches. I think Panerai(divers) and IWC(pilot's) being the exception, maybe a few others. It wasn't long ago that a 40mm timpiece was considerd big. The biggest watch that I had when I arrived here was a 40mm and I really did not think I would or could go any bigger. This was less then one year ago. My first rep was a 42mm omega Po. I thought It was to big and that I would never wear It for that reason. I rarely wear the watch now because I fine It to small. The sweet spot for me is 44mm-48mm. If you were to have told me this eleven months ago I would have thought that you might be seriously mistaken (crazy) I really cant explane It but I just enjoy wearing bigger watches. Some think of a slick watch as a status symbol, "If you,ve got one, flaunt It".(watchtime) I just happen to like the look and feel of a bigger timepiece. It seems that other brands that normally would Ignor fashion trends have taken notice.For example Movado has a 60mm, there famous museum piece. I could go on and on about all of the other big swiss brands that are going big. In 2006, ETA Introduced a new collection of big calibers called Valgrangs, which are 16.5 lignes or 37.2 mm. In diameter. The Valjoux 7750 for examole Is 13.5 lignes or 29.9 mm, In diameter. ETA observes. " We are undoubtedly witnessing the biginning of a major trend for the comming years. the demand for large, even very large, watches... To embrace this trend, a new caliber has emerged, the Valgranges" How big Is to big? We may not know for some time. (ref Watchtime) Go big or go home Mike

  8. Im really sorry to hear about your troubles. The good news Is, all can be fixed. This dealer sounds unreasonable.I had a similar problem with a Panerai about six months ago.

  11. Welcome to RWG, like the name When i first arrived here my only concern was to find a good dealer and a desent rep and be on my way. I had no desire to be a member of a Replica watch forum that was almost eleven months ago. This Is a great community and I hope you stick around Mike

  14. One of the dealers I purchase from lives In Bangkok. Like Lani says, can take up to three weeks . Most of my reps took about two weeks on average. I dont mind the wait, and saving $20-30 doesn't hurt either. Mike
