Hi, Because of some kinda mistakes on the dial of my new UPO from Hont, I'm going to receive, from this awesome dealer, a new black dial, flawless ... The nooby question is "how am I going to find a watchsmith to change the dial" ? Actually, here in France (like everywhere, i guess) reps are not liked, and I imagine that getting one to any WatchSmith could be at least a mistake, and maybe "dangerous". So, knowing that a good french community is active in here, I would need pieces of advice to find a good, honnest watchsmith in (or near) paris. Thanks !

Thanks to all of you guys ! Even if i love the railmaster (what a bracelet !), my choice is probably going to be the UPO. Do you guys know if the leather bracelet with the UPO is good (maybe as good as the railmaster's one) Thanks again !

Thanks for answering... Actually, I thought I did not make any mistake by "preparing" my carreras ... (I began with arm winding them, then adjusting hour, then adjusting time, then trying to hand winding it slowly while it was always stopping, then ... sending them back to hont !) If you guys were giving me a "how to" use it, I would be glad ! For example, is that normal that on both watches i received, i could almost not pull the crown in the second position (that's how it broke on the first one) : it was more than difficult to adjust time. Plus, was it "normal" to see the second hand stop after a day of wearing, of arm winding and of smooth hand winding ? Maybe I should consider again this carrera that was really good shaped, if you give me a lesson ... Thanks, regards

Hi there, I ordered, a month ago my first rep from Hont : a pam 111h i truly like. Because this hobby is getting addictive, I chose, 2 weeks ago, to order a new watch from Hont again : A Tag Carrera Tachy Racing with Asian 7750 mvt ... What a mistake ! I ordered 2 watches : the first one had a crown pin issue (the crown actually broke when i pulled it) and the second one was always stopping (while I was wearing it or not -hand winding and etc ...-). Hont, which is IMO the best dealer ever accepted to change the 2 watches, and I just sent them back ... My problem is that now, I'm a little bit scared regarding the chrono 7750 mvt. In fact, i will be looking for a simple movement as the unitas I love with my PAM. That's why I started to think about a 2436 UPO, or a new PAM ... I don't know. So, 2 questions : 1. Was I really unlucky with these two watches, or should I avoid another 7750 movement : is ot reliable ? 2. What (simple) watch would you suggest for a 200 USD bill ? Thanks guy, and please excuse my frenchy english !
