How does it compare to the CF? Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

So I've had reps for a number of years and recently decided to buy the Gen of the 126660 DBlue because I likes it so much. On recieving the watch is mint, 20 August 2021 dated on the warranty card. However it's the box that looks off, or is it just the way it is? I was lead to believe that everything Rolex do is pristine, yet gaps at the corners of the box is not what I would call perfection. Or is that normal? See attached. Anyone with experience of Gen boxes want to kindly say what they think and why? Now I could ask on the Rolex forums, however there better to ask than on the forums where people deal in replicas day in day out. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G991B using Tapatalk

Hi All, Have a couple of watches already namely an Omega Seamaster Chrono and a Tag Carrera. I am now wanting a Super Avenger with Black battern dial. Can someone point me in the direction of the latest version please? I have checked both Trusty and PureTimes site (dealers I have dealt with previously) but there seem to be various versions and variations causing me some confusion for me. Example: This says V3 but the border around the date looks incorrect (dual lines?)... http://puretime.co/product/super-avenger-v3-black-stick-dial-on-bracelet/ whereas this one looks correct?... http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=16_137&products_id=7081 Or are these 2 different versions? Thanks.

Gold colouring doesn't just come off because it is fake! Are you speaking from experience here or just assuming? I have

Hi, I am looking at getting the two tone (gold and white) Carrera Automatic Chronograph from Andrew at TT. Does anyone know if the gold is likely to wear off on this model? Anyone have any experience with gold reps? If not then it looks like a smart watch for the right occasion. Thanks, Lee.

looking at the gen on the tag site and the rep shows that the numbered markers (sorry dont know the correct name) just inside of the bezel are wrong. The rep shows 60 to be at 12oclock whereas the gen doesn't, is this intentional?

Cheers, If I can open it then at least I can take a look and make an educated opinion. I will try retep's suggestion and then decide. I will post back with photo's :-)

Thanks, Yes top button clicks very crisp when pressed and starts and stops the chrono as planned. I have no tools to take the back off so am unable to discover if my theory is true by moving the arm instead of using the case pushers. Have you any tips on how to get the back off without specialoist tools? At least then I could have a look. Cheers, Lee.

Right, after much reading I think I have found the problem!... thanks to the very technical posts by The Zigmeisterzumba, excellent reading by the way, thanks. The top pusher arm (the one that starts and stops the chrono) now works fine after working the button a few times. I guess the cogs need bedding in so that the chrono starts and stops on command every time. Now if I stop the chrono and then press the bottom button (the one that supposed to reset the hands) the chrono just starts again, this is where The Zigmeisterzumba's posts come in most helpfull! The Zigmeisterzumba I have borrowed your pic here to deface I hope you don't mind. As I have shown above, when the reset pusher is pressed (Marked as the blue A arrow) to reset the chrono, the end of the pusher identified as number 1 arrow should press on the B piece of metal (sorry dont know name) and force it in the direction of the number 3 arrow. This would then reset the chrono (as I understand it, please someone let me know if this is wrong). However mine is actually not pushing item B in direction of 3 but back in the direction of position 2 which is actually the position of a running chrono movement, hence my chrono does not reset but just start moving again. My conclusion is thus that the pusher arm is not quite "getting over" the edge on item B in order to push in the the desired direction. It must be just short of being over as it did actually reset correctly on 2 occasions. Now 2 questions 1. Does the above sound correct to those in the know? 2. Is it easily taken care of in any way (I really dont fancy sending the watch back to china if I can help it). Thanks, Lee.

Right, I have found out that I can send the watch back via Royal Mail Airmail for about £6-8 so thats ok. I will send it off for replacement tomorrow. Will they repair it or replace it? The watch is in otherwise perfect order, even the placement of the lume dot thing on the bizel (dunno technical tem sorry) so would probably prefer a fix incase I get a one with oter problems. L.

Newcastle. I also hear what The Zigmeisterzumba and Devedander is saying so I have emailed Andrew to ask if he has a local solution in the UK. Depends what is wrong with the watch and how much it would cost to get fixed I guess but it's a shame I have paid £130 or so to get a watch and will have to spend another £20-£50 to get a working one. Anyone know of any watch dealers around that fixes reps? Cheers, Lee.

ahhh! Got a reply from the dealer saying to send it back for repair but I have justed costed to parcel to go back to China and it is going to be £25, WTF! So I gotta pay another £25 to get a working watch, well hopefully! What are my other options guy's? Cheers, Lee.

I'm sure he will, he is well recommended on these forums so I am not too worried, I will await a reply from him. Appart from this the watch is absolutly stunning! L.

Ok. 1. Chrono is stopped, I press the top button and it starts (the button clicks). 2. I press the top button again and the Chrono stops (the button clicks). 3. I press the bottom button and the chrono starts the same as if I had clicked the top button to just start the chrono again, it does not spin round and reset to 12 as I would expect. I now have to press the top button numerous times in order to get the chrono to start and stop on demand other wise it pleases itself.

Yes thats what I thought which is the problem, it doesn't. Pressing the bottom button after stopping it with the top button just starts the large chrono needle ticking away again, as thoughI had pressed the top button, i.e. reset doent work. L.
