congrats.. I like the strap on the PAM.

I assume that the Fraggle in your nick refers to that adorable community of muppets in Jim Henson's creation.. that always amused me secretly. I loved that series, and watched almost every episode... many of them the whole way through. And I'm sorry to hijack the thread. Its just that Fraggle Rock rocks.

less than 9hrs before this awesomely discounted (In terms of both price and quality) gets sold. $5,100 I hope eBay can get off its lazy ass and do pull the plug before someone gets conned.

Good luck to whoever buys this piece of junk.

haha +1 But knowing PT, I think the order button would stay and orders #201 and beyond would be told to wait for batch 2.

The highest bid is now $5,100... 35 bids. unbelievable.

I think this thread needs to be defused

Actually, like a lot of details in the rep hobby, the concept of "superlume" is rather subjective. My personal understanding is that a superlumed watch is one that "provides a bright glowing luminosity on the markers and hands after about a minute of charging in sunlight or other types of bright lights, for a sustained period". Notice that my statement itself is subjective. What is bright to me may be a little too dim for you. What is a sustained period for me may be too short for you. Another good way of defining a superlume is to compare the lume of the watch to that of its genuine counterpart. Honestly, I have seen some relumed reps that display brighter and better lumes compared to their genuine counterparts. Having said all that, the lume has been something nice to look at for me, but not essential. If I ever wanted to know the time in pitch black, I just press a button on my iphone. Like the chronograph function on a watch, a "superlume" is generally nice to have, but mostly non-essential, unless you wear the watch for diving to deep depths consistently, or you work in a cave as a bat keeper. Or something along those lines.

Flex has the watch listed for sale, as you already pointed out. Your $500 deposit should be refunded to you without question. Also, regarding the $1000, I understand you already cancelled the transfer. There is no reason to wait more than 7 working days for the money to be in your account again. The bank would be able to tell you if the money has been received by the beneficiary. Its a fairly straightforward process. You should check if the money has been transferred and received despite your cancellation.

"pepper, sir?"

Guys, I have reported the item but it is still listed there. Please report it. We may end up helping idiots but lets use our knowledge for the greater good. Unbelievable that people actually fall for his crap.

I visited a similar website that claims that they use actual clones of the movement, and every part etc etc.. Uses pictures of genuine watches on their site too. And a whole lot of other BS claims. Their prices are perhaps 3-4x that of a good rep. I tried to access swiss.cc but the site seems to be taken off or is down. Stay away from the scammers. One golden rule of the game: "If it sounds too good to be true, someone is gonna get fucked."

I like the P3-1 and P3-2 guys.. Aaron at combat straps custom make straps for them.. I agree with cc33, wrist presence could be a problem for this watch somehow. They are all 47mm but wears closer to 44mm due to the absence of lugs. It would be like wearing a mini machine on your wrist I suppose given the layered complication of the dial. Tempted.

http://www.sevenfriday.com Anyone heard of/owns watches from SevenFriday? I came across it while shopping for straps at Combat Straps, strangely enough. The watches all appear to be variations of the same case, and quite cool and unique looking. the movement used seems to be a Miyota automatic, and the business/website seems to be based in Switzerland. Price is between 900+ - 1000+ CHF (swiss francs). I personally like the black one with red accents.. Your thoughts on it?

Thanks Pete, good to have an idea of price.

At first instance, mate, at first instance.

One solution to that is to wear a T shirt OK just kidding, my apologies for getting you hyped up for nothing!! I am so gonna camp to be on the pre-order list

and thank you, you have been always helpful whenever I have questions.

It says pre-order starts on 15th Nov.. I have mistyped mate.. I meant that I WILL put my name down for one come the 15th. My bad.

M, price not released yet but I am guessing it to be around $300 or less?

thank you very much. I have put my name down for one.

How much is the gen of this please? Thank you kindly

I have been looking at the V2 orange ceramic for a while now.. the color appeals to me much more but you were telling me about the DLC/ceramic discrepancy. I guess I'll wait for the ceramic (v3?) orange one.
