  1. I have used the credit card payment once with Trusty (I usually buy from PT paying with cash or by Paypal). No worries, just a phone call from Visa asking confirmation of a payment to an obsure software company in China. I answerd yes and never heard about it again. I am quite sure this is a truly secured payment, but the prepaid Visa card sounds a good idea.
  2. Trying to contact him for more than 2 weeks, PM, email, Skype. No answer... Any alternative source for Ar in EU??
  3. I completely ruined my bezel trying to remove it from the Josh cheaper noob... Very cheap metal (well cheap watch too...)
  4. Excellent review, may thanks. I have ordered mine from PT, I can't wait...!
  5. By the way does anyone know if this $44 Breitling Heritage is the same as the $130 model that Silix has ? Seems to be a different model. Look at the crown. And I would doubt about AR coating...
  6. Many thanks Corgi for your comments. I wont' rush...
  7. A new Speedmaster is availlable on both Andrew and Josh sites (strictly same pictures...): Day Date Very nice watch, and as far as I can see, quite close to the original. What do you think of it? Replica Original
  8. Hi Guys A friend of mine just brang his Navitimer (about 1 yeat old) to me. Look what happened: 3 of the screws fixing the bezel to the body are uscrewed. If I could just remove the rotating part of the Bezel, I think I could put the screw back. Does anyone know how to do it? Hope I am clear, English is not my native language... Any suggestion welcome! Thanks Tekidonc
  9. Thanks. I bought the strap from "Manufacture Jean Rousseau " http://boutique.jean-rousseau.com/boutique...m?code_lg=lg_us There is another workshop which I think can produce custom straps "Atelier du bracelet parisien" http://www.abp-paris.com/
  10. I have seen this watch on the cover of a french watch guide, and could not stay without trying to get one... I have ordered the watch from Josh with a black leather strap, white stiching. The watch went with a quite poor strap (as usual) and black stiching. A white stiching replacement strap ordered from Josh did not prove more convincing. I then started to surf internet and look for Rolex alligator replacement staps...without succes. The only solution was a geniune alligator custom strap, manufactured under my specs by a french workshop in Paris. Everithing has been done by email, 2 weeks after order I received a very high quality product, the result is there... Well, the strap is not precisely cheap (170
  11. Nice watch indeed, but after a closer look, a major flaw on the caseback AOTOMATIC arghh!!!
  12. Is the second hand black? Seems it should be blue on Master Control. However, a nice classy watch.
  13. Hi I am thinking about buying either a rose gold Jules Audemars or a Vacheron Malte Classique (probably not to wear it much, but I like the look...) I could find pictures of the Jules Audemars, but no picture of the Malte Classique. Does anybody knows what if there is a gen Malte Classique looking like this rep (picture taken from Josh site). Thanks for your help.
  14. Like richard, I gave it a good wind, started/stopped and reset it a few times, and now it's working well. Thanks
  15. PT says he can't do much about it. Here is his answer "I have heard of this issue before with asian baljoux movement. There is a post on the forum about it. On almost 40% of the asian valjoux newer movements this happens. Im not sure of the cause, but someone on the forum i think knows a fix."
  16. Hi I're received my Navitimer from PT. It is a very nice rep, although I have got two issues: I went to the dealer to compare with the gen. The rep sub dials color is cream more than white as on the gen. Have you noticed this on your own rep? Also there is a bug with the hour sub dial at 6. The small needle moves all the time, although it should only move when the chrono is activated (see picture). If I push the reset pusher, the needle will go back to 12, and then start to move again. It is not a major flaw, but a little bit frustrating. What do you think about it? Many thanks for your help and comments
  17. Thanks a lot Kenberg for the links section I had not notices. Hours of browsing ahead !!
  18. Thanks for the review ! The reserve de marche seems to be the most accurate of JLC reps, although not expensive. As far as I could see the watch is sold with a brown leather strap. A strap upgrade to a black aligators one might be a good idea (even if it is as expensive as the watch itself) This is going to be one of my next purchase
  19. As a newbee, I has a million questions. I just spent hours browsing this site. It's incredible how much information you can find if you just take the time to search... Thanks to all the contibutors ! I have bought an Explorer II and a Planet Ocean. I am really very happy with them, they are very accurate and I think addiction is not far... Best regards Tekidonc, from France
