I don't think there is a planet ocean that they've got right! It's a shame cause as you say it's something so simple. The upgrade to an original isn't that straight forward either. Still it's an awesome looking watch and I would be proud to wear it.

Welcome the pearl is the lum dot on the outer ring of the watch(bezel). In this case it sits at the bottom of the triangle, were on the original it is perfectly centered between each corner.

Nice watch I have been concidering this watch too is there any reason why it doesn't seem to be very popular. Is it just that the UPO overshadows it? I went and tried on the gen last week I love it. I really like this rep now that they've fixed the subdials but is there anything else that stands out(pearl) that I've missed?

Hi Guys, GREAT RESULT I JUST RECEIVED THE NEW WATCH AND IT WORKS! Thanks WATCHEDEN. Now the real test hope my Mum likes it! Cheers Jono

-UPDATE- Here is the latest email from the dealer. It should only be a matter of days now before my Mum has her present!

In that case , i suggest you to return your watch back for replacement . Besides, considering it is a birthday gift , i can send your new replacement out upon receipt of your tracking number .

Hi Guys, Just recieved a Franck Muller Crazy Hours watch(REP) for my Mum and its dead not even ticking. The rotor seems fine but I don't think the hair spring is working? Any Suggestions? Cheers Jono

Could someone please PM me this info? I'm also looking for watchmaker that is willing to work on reps in Sydney? Thanks

ITS CLEARED CUSTOMS NOW!

Hi, I've ordered a few watches now but I'm yet to see this "Handed over to Customs" in China. I did a search on the forum but found nothing. Has anyone seen this before? PS I'm in Aus and it shows up when it gets here but not yet leaving China. Thanks Jono
