Anyone found a watch smith in Canada? I have read that Zig is now retired..

I got a reply from Toro stating to goto watch repair or send it back to him. Nothing was stated about the costs of repair by a watch smith, shipping cost to china or the clasp issue. I was patient but expected a more detailed reply.

It seems like I am not the only one complaining about a non-noob watch http://www.replica-w...d.php?t=199574.

Now (apart from patience), this is very disappointing..wrote another email to Toro about the costs as well as the clasp.

I have emailed you to return the watch, we fix it for free or refund

Toro, I have received no emails from you..

Any idea on what is wrong with the watch..? Its on my wrist now and is dead.

I understand on waiting and dont mind being patient but funny how replies are fast before sale and slow after sale. I guess I should not have paid by WU...

Got a LMPO asian eta from Toro three days ago. Its beautiful BUT the movement seems to have an issue as the watch keeps randomly stopping. First day I thought maybe it wasnt fully wound but even after fully winding or wearing all day for three days now, watch keeps stopping...

Sent email to Toro 2 days ago but got no reply. What should I do...?

Thanks! Just wanted to be sure

Its my first Omega rep so though would get some advice from you all on a couple of issues that I think are there in the QC..

Seems like the 1 in 12 is not straight and the marker on 12 is a bit crooked..

Confused between these two watches:

Omega Seamaster PO 42mm or Tag Heuer Link Calibre 16?

Is there a super rep for the PO with a chrono?

How do members (private sale) ship reps to USA without customs seizing them?

What is the best way to do this?

What is the declaration amount of value of the item?

Mate you need to lower your expectation of the reps we buy this aint the same a going into a shop etc. We are lucky (arguably spoilt) by the trusted dealers here.

These are trusted in so far as they wont scam you The fact they sell these on the basis these are reps and arent perfect, you take the best you can get and make it better thats the game

Be happy with what Mary is giving you mate as for a service etc That just wont happen you could find GF that when you get it it wont work or wont reset or DW wont change etc etc It happens thats our world It aint perfect but our TDs will take it back if you send it and will replace it but you will pay for P&P etc so its cheaper to do the service it needs rather than bother going thru all that again, hopefully you understand what I am trying to say

This is rep QC not the QC we all understand as Western Consumers etc. What you have now from the dealers is night and day from how things use to be !! I remember my dad putting me on his knee and telling the old rep horror stories !!! Or was it Don :) ??

Understood. So tell me about servicing. Whos the trusted person here and what kind of a charge would I be looking at?

But I wonder why all these dealers talk about their QC and then still I get these pictures but the dealer didnt mention these things. I also noted the space between the lever end and the case but Mary didnt say a word about it. Do the dealers do any service as part of their QC or they just buy and then sell to us?

Thats the updated version with chrome sub pins. So you have a new version which cant be bad

But if you look at he base of the CG lever its is pushing out further than the original. ( It could just be it wasnt pushed back in completely)

However you should not be put off by this!!!

Firstly its a rep you dont get perfect

Secondly it could be due to a number of reasons other than a problem with the lever itself.

These movements must be serviced for a variety of reasons and all of the ones being teared down are showing the same issues consistently, it is only a matter of time if you dont do it !!.

The fact some guys versions are not as bad as others is in the main due to the ORing in the crown being of varying sizes so the bigger ones push the lever out slightly.

There are other reasons eg fitting of CG on case etc

But if you want your watch to last and have confidence in it then getting it serviced will provide that and the service work will help eliminate the CG issue

Have a look at these..

first pic is of the one I rejected due to the lever

second is the new pic..i think the lever looks okay but now the lume looks funny..please advise..i dont know how the lume looks like on the gen..it seems that the second pic is overall a little brighter which maybe the reason i guess but im not an expert here..

Ive already paid her. She asks for payment before sending the pics. She said she will look for another one.

Update: Mary said she has 3 of these and all have this flaw..

I have been told by the dealer (Mary) that its a usual problem with all pam reps.. :s

Please comment on these QC pics I received from Mary. Seems to me that this CG lever is sticking out more than normal..?

Can you all please comment on these QC pics I received..

More pics available in my thread

Please check these QC pics of my Pam250. I dont see any issues but I'll let the experts here tell me. Thanks in advance!!

Rogerwine, do u have carpel tunnel? I feel sorry for u.

Are we talking about a rep or a gen?

Its a rep.

Only got it this summer and hardly use it so thinking of selling it but not sure if I should?

Do automatics have problems if you dont use them for a while? Would I have to get it serviced?

I'm thinking of getting it from Puretime (Angus). Any feedback on him?

My Tag Link is 40mm x 13mm (check the pix) whereas the PAM251 will be 44mm x 16.5mm..

Do you guys think the Panerai will look ok on me??

Time for a change so Be bold and brave and make a statement I reckon you could pull it off .

The Ferrari is 45mm and Ive read that lug to lug its about 55m. Im just confused I dont want the lugs to be off my wrist because I yself wouldnt liek that..

Would it look okay or would I look like a clown? Currently I wear a Tag Link which is 42mm and I love it!
