  1. Hi Rob, i read your post but it's not clear to me if my dials belong to the problematic new version. It should by a V1 not the very first batch but one of the first indeed. Not sure the following pic can help you to see if it's the first good version. It's a spare dial and marker at 9 is gonna fall very soon. Marker at 6 o clock already fell and you can see there
  2. fu++ng helll... another 45mm PO We need a good 42mm version nothing less nothing more
  3. Grande Domenico, benvenuto!
  4. Great watch and pic, though i'm not a lover of such case design. By-Tor, i forgot to ask you how your stem/crown works? is it a little wobbly (especially the crown itself)?
  5. By-Tor take a look here: *http://images.qxlricardo.com/ImgUsers/5/547/54711/5471100/547110082_2_Big.jpg* *http://images.qxlricardo.com/ImgUsers/5/547/54711/5471100/547110082_Big.jpg* Not much but better than nothing.
  6. rubik88, you're right the light-blue bezel one is very beautiful but a dial complete white might be a little boring and poor in contrast (just a guess i wish i could see in the flesh at some AD soon). Unfortunately there's no rep version so far but i guess we'll see very soon other colors in rep world as well. Most of them dropship for sure but i've been placing my last purchases from a dealer supposed to check watches before shipping. Last time he did a great job but maybe it was just a matter of luck.
  7. Thanks guys, i'm sure you exactly know what this kind of disappointment means. What really pisses me off is the fact i sent a message to the dealer, at least twice, with a complete check list ( bezel alignment and crown functionality are included). I told him..take your time but please check it carefully before shipping out.... Anyway i kindly disagree , i'm almost sure the black insert 's glued in the bezel but considered also the other flaw (slippery and wobble crown) i prefer to get a replacement. I was told there's no correct bezel at stock, i'm not sure at all it's the truth, so i'm waiting for a refund. By-Tor, you're completely right, it's a sporty watch, much sportier than IWCs for example and usually i cannot fall in love with this style. But this watch is so well built that i'm gonna make an exception (assuming a can have a model with no big flaws). I went to the local AD but there was only the black dial model so i couldn't compare this one with the white dial. From pics i like both very much. White is indeed more elegant and classy.
  8. Unfortunately his quality control is still chinese and you all know what i mean. He sourced me a beaautiful watch with a freaking wobbly crown and misaligned bezel and now i'm supposed to send it back and that sucks badly. It seems he's well disposed to refund anything as he cannot source a correct watch (that's the part that sounds fishy to me). I'll keep you posted..
  9. I have a problem with a watch bought from Mark and received yesterday. Let's see if he's gonna come through.
  10. Just a warning for new buyers: be carefully to bezel alignment. I got a faulty one as you can see below: It makes me mad and i didn't notice when i received the watch yesterday. I'll try to get a replacement, i cannot live with that. F****** sh**** quality check!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Two experiences, so far so good. Mark has excellent service and communication and i guess my next purchase will be from him again.
  12. By-Tor numbers are different for sure, letters are similar but if you look the watch in the flesh and you're used to ETA wheels, you can easily see the difference (different font and different printing quality).
  13. I got the watch today and today date and day wheels are perfectly aligned. Anyway fonts are clearly wrong compared to ETA's font, it's an easy tell for watch geeks. The thing is.. in my other 7750 watches i replaced wheels and i can't stand this flaw anymore.
  14. I got the same watch with black dial and i've got to admit i'm surprised. Watch is really high quality and fits perfectly a 6.8" wrist (any watch geek knows how important this aspect is) It's not too thick and bracelet is truly comfortable (screws work flawlessy). Ar is the best i've ever seen in replica world: definitely at the same level of first runs of Jakub K2222. Just 2 weak points so far: my crown is a little wobbly, date wheel got to be replaced with ETA one. Cheers
  15. The Relumer seems to be pretty busy right now: on a spanish board where he's a regular poster appeared a sticky post in which he states he's overbooked and he can't accept more job for a while. That's why he didn't come back to me.
  16. Thanks tmeister , i won't hold my breath waiting for a quick reply.
  17. I tried to contact him on saturday but no soup for me so far. Hope he's coming back to me shortly.

    IWC 3717

    I already have a V1 3717 but i could grab another one. Can anyone tell me if the V3 version has thinner markers? Cheers
  19. Agreed, from now on i'll try to stay away from asian 7750s even though i'm a chronos lover. Moreover i have the feeling that nowadays A7750s are even less reliable than 1-2 years ago.
  20. Very nice pics and watch, thanks juanmorog
  21. Silix PO unfortunately have a lot of flaws but the logo. Best 42mm PO out of the box was the well known 4th gen. Main flaws to be corrected are: logo placement bracelet (there was a big gap between the firts two links if i remember right) pearl Ar (genuine has a very good ar coating) I'm not very confident in this kind of "projects" either. By the way, Silix already made an attemp and his PO was one of the worst, it had a very good logo but overall was full of mistakes .
  22. Same for me....asking never hurts
  23. Same happened to me with ubiquitous. He shipped me free of charge some eta 2824 spare parts. Few months ago i did the same with another member who didn't even thank me after getting the spare part i sent him. Too busy i guess.
  24. I can't post pics right now but i'll be posting something once back home next week if you're still interested. I had this watch for few weeks, the version with black date wheel. I bought it cause i like watches in the 38-42mm range but this one was a little tiny also for my taste. Honestly i would define this TAG very anonimous with two main flaws. Firstly, the dial is too glossy compared to the genuine and i didn't like at all. Secondly, inner bezel was way off and misaligned (but i know there's a version with aligned inner bezel so this is just to be checked before buying). Black dial absolutely needs AR coating otherwise it's a real mirror. I would get a Railmaster or a non-chrono Link but it's just a matter of tastes.
  25. I hope everything's fine with him As for your crystals just be patient guys.
