Thought Roy Hodgson was coming over from Fulham?

US over England in their opening match. Contrary to belief, us Yanks are pretty pumped up for this World Cup. Landycakes doesn't have much of a defense behind him, but our group isn't all that strong. Sweet 16 for the US side? With Drogba's injured elbow, thinking Torres will win the Golden Boot. Don't count out Cisse though, he had a strong season in Greece! Good luck to everyone in the Forum and the Countries you are rooting for!! /Spain to win it all. -R

Great watch! Have had my eye on it for a while now. Here in the U.S. the white G-Shock has been a very popular summer accessory. Enjoy your new purchase.

I am purchasing a wedding gift for my best friend's bride to be. Although a rep would be nice, a new Gen $500-$750's is in order. Any brand or model recommendations? Thinking about something in the Movado ESQ line. Ex. Movado ESQ

Caseback wasnt broken in pieces, just a very long hairline crack. Good point on the servicing. I am going to need to do that anyhow right? Think it's a good idea to just have it serviced here in the US for like $60's or return the watch?

I've had my new PAM 112 H with the Chinese 6497 movement about a week. It was shipped from Silix with a cracked case back, issue generously being resolved by one of our admins Dluddy. [Topic link] So, after deciding not to ship the watch back to Silix, thought it would be a good time to start wearing it. Wound the watch for the first time very slowly until the crown was semi-tight and it worked fine for a few minutes. Now the watch has stopped working all together. I am getting a 1-3 second response (starts to move) after a vigorous shaking- then it stops again. Any suggestions?

Hi all you knowledgeable posters! Well there was no resolution with the dealer, Silix, other than to send the watch back (they'd pay for return shipping) & get a refund. So, I have opted to take Dluddy up on his generous offer to ship over a case-back. You all are quite right, this might be a good opportunity to test out some of my newbie craftsmanship, and help my overall watch knowledge grow. Maybe this is also the start of stepping into the hobby rather than just being a curious bystander. Regards, Rob "Baby steps, Bob, baby steps". -Dr. Leo Marvin I'll post some pics over the next week or two after my gf returns from holiday with the digital cam.

This post is only to help me gather some insight on what is expected from a seller and buyer post transaction. Sucks being a semi-noob, having an issue with your first purchase. That was a very nice gesture from Dluddy, however I will have to graciously decline until the exchange/return has some resolution from the dealer. Taking all of your advice into account I have proposed that the dealer: -Send me a new caseback, dealer pays shipping, & credit the repair/replacement costs from watch smith. -Send a prepaid shipping label for exchange and send a replacement watch express shipping at dealers cost. -Send a prepaid return shipping label; refund the full amount of watch + shipping.

[mods this might be in the wrong area, if so please recategorize, sorry] My new PAM 112 arrived today with some damage. I am turning to the forum for advice on the sellers proposed resolutions for the watch's defect. Upon receiving my new PAM, there is an issue with the crystal case back. The watch was well protected in double bubble wrap & secured in the package with no external damage noticable. That said, there is a hairline crack in the back crystal that runs almost 180 degrees around (half moon shape), appx 1mm parallel to the steel casing. Pics will be posted in the next day or two, I do not have access to a digital camera at the moment. The seller has offered two solutions: "1st: we will give you 5% discount for your next order 2nd: we ship you a new caseback, but you have to pay for the shippment cost. but the precise is when we see the pic and confirmed the crystal back has a crack." My concerns: I've already paid $XX's to ship the watch the first time. It's going to cost me to ship a replacement caseback? Once the caseback arrives, i'll need to take it in for someone to service/replace it for me. I don't know how much it will be to have them do the work, but this is all starting to add up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Rob Thanks for all of your time!

Thanks Nick! Your donation will alleviate some of the guilt I had for being a "free loading" forum user. Glad I could finally contribute something useful. Again, nice watch, wear it well! -Rob

Nice reviews by both you and Swatchman! Noticable flaw in your The Montblanc Sport Chronograph (Dial): Dial has one small visible impefection. The "L Swiss Made L" is slightly lower in position on the GEN compared to the Rep. On the gen, the top of L lines up with the triagle hour markers. On the reps, the bottom of the L lines up with the triangle hour markers. -- The Montblanc's surely aren't getting the attention they deserve. I've had my eye on the 43mm Chronograph Automatic (picture attached from Silix's site), beauty of a watch. Does anyone own this watch? It'd be great to see a detailed review.
