Looks pretty nice from where I'm standing

Andrew @ www.yourtrustytime.com is also down, they use the same domain servers as Josh?

In the QC pics the movement from the watch I ordered seems to not have the pearl pattern, but it finally arrived and I can confirm that it has. So I guess all sellita movements have this type of swirl effect and that's just the angle or the light used in the photos that fools the eye.

It finally arrived, it took longer than I expected (3 weeks from England and a total of 4 weeks from China). So sometimes we just have to be patient ....

It looks very well with that bracelet. Thank you

Where did u get the bracelet. It's a genuine omega strap?

It's just me or this is practically the same watch as the channel piece

I'm still waiting for mine ...

It's a swiss company that makes an automatic movement similar to ETA. It's equally reliable but in this specific case it's not cheaper because it's a newer rep version and so it's more expensive.

We can only hope for a super rep of this one

In the sellita website the movement has the swirl effect: But I've seen also a variation of his movement (gold plated without swirl) in the Invicta ProDiver 4469:

From the movements I've seen the original sw200 has always "pearl pattern finish" so I just hope that the dealers are not charging us a premium "swiss" movement price and selling a sellita asian clone If that's the case there should be a price difference just as the swiss vs asian eta. But i'm waiting for a more expert opinion on these cos if we ask the dealers they will probably tell us what the factories told them "they are all swiss".

The difference can be seen in pictures? Can u post a picture with and without pearl finish?

Noob questions: What is the "pearl pattern finish"? If this is supposed to be a true swiss sw200 movement shouldn't all movements be the same?

Nop, 2 tracking numbers. China -> UK ( 1st tracking number). Someone from Josh's staff receives the item and then despatchs by Royalmail to the EU country of the member (2nd tracking number). That's the all point of avoiding customs delays in problematic EU countries, if it was not routed by the UK it would simply be China -> EU country (1 tracking number).

Josh sent the item to UK and gave the tracking number of EMS. From UK to Germany he has no tracking number so he can't check the Royal Mail Website. @Whatever123: I think you will not get a second tracking number, You'll just have to wait and it will likely arrive safely by signed airmail, but u can alway ask Josh

He now sends that warning to everybody. As stated though I partially understand the dealer's side I can not agree with that. If so many people buys from Josh is also because of the forums. He can not have the benefits and then ask to not discuss the pieces in this same forums that so many customers brought to him.

The cronograph version is also very beatiful:

The question is in reverse, will it ever be a super rep of this nice looking Tag Aquaracer

Most of the members do not like quartz watches. I do not share this opinion, there are excelent quartz driven pieces and there's no hassle with time ajdusting when not wearing them. I would like to see good quality reps of this type of watches. Nice choice by the way. That Tag looks really nice

I think is only available at 2 of the trusted dealers: TrustyTime and Perfect Clones Well, I can't see it clearly from the pics. Doesn't the weel date rotates slighty with the time? I think is the same version as yours. Mine is rubber strap and yours steel strap version.

I couldn't resist and ordered one of this, Tag Aquaracer with the new SW200 Sellita movement, what do you think? Here's my contribution:

To me, from the pic's it seems to be the sellita movement but i will let a more expert eye confirm my opinion.

Yes, that's true, I ordered this watch and I'm just curious. By the way nice review of the similar tag

Hi, I've stumbled on this forum when browsing for info on watches and I'm glad to have joined this community. I've learned a bit about movements and watches in general (not just reps) and with the valuable info of this forum we can avoid those bloody scammers. Cheers
