swan neck looks pretty. girls with boob jobs look pretty (sometimes?). you'd rather get HOT girl with boob job or fugly chick with flat [censored]? besides... without swan neck, you get asian, you want asian? or you want swiss? thats the question! i prefer blondes with boob jobs over small chicks with small feeet and flat [censored]

Dubois Dépraz Module on Asian 2892 copy?
slay replied to archibald's topic in Watch Repair & Upgrade
i dont think there is a 1:1 asian copy of the 2892! -
163 happened while riding the bus, wirelug got lose and fell all of a sudden - not my fault 111 happened while palying ball - maybe my fault, but I was told, that the bad screw was a common problem lange happened from one day to the other. i was more careful with that watch than i'd be with Nitroglycerine - not my fault IMO daytona happened over time - maybe my fault? IMO just a junk movement! DW came that way - not my fault at all 183 striped tubes - common problem - not my fault at all. have always been VERY careful while unscrewing the crown JLC something got jammed when I removed the stem, clearly partly my fault, but I fixed it. Problem: cant get it back together Fiddy came that way, not my fault at all I'd be delighted if you could. Have had no luck so far, not even with the ones who were selling genuine PAM parts!

Yes... most of my issues arnt mayor issues either. Most of the watches are running at least. The Radiomir would be a QUICK fix, but i cant source that damn wirelug anywhere and with one missing wirelug, the watch is simply worthless to me, because I cant wear it! On the other hand I dont see why I should buy a new watch just because of one freakin wirelug. Making things worse, I doubt Panerai sells the parts alone. I'd even spend 20$ on a genuine wirelug. My biggest fear is still the DW... it's like a bomb you paid 400$ for and never know when its going to go off! I think I will take it to a local watchmaker here, if he screws it up even worse, I can always say "Well, it was running before I gave it to you, so YOU figure out where to get me a new movement!" - I wouldn't say that to Joe or The Zigmeister of course! Good think I already sold all the 7 or 8 Vintage PAM's I had with good profit :D

i thought about that.. the problem is, i cant decide which one. i rather wear a different watch everyday then the same watch over and over again! and also, you can have the same troubles with genuines. after 2 years of warranty, it will cost you much $$$ to get it repaired!

The First Rep I ever bought was a Rolex Datejust. Was a 10$ Canal St. Rep - Junk mainly BUT (!!) it ran for 3 years without battery change. When the batterie dried, I threw it away. Maybe its still somewhere in my house, I dont know! And then the horror trip began: I bought a Lange&Söhne Datograph Flyback with false tourbillon. The watch cost me 200Euros and was from o-fakes.com - after 3 days or so, I was unable to remove the crown and set time. Dont know why, but something inside was jammed! It took me 3 Months to get a new watch from o-fakes.com(had to write MILLIONS of emails... at some point I lost my hopes, but THEN: I got a SS Daytona from them. Was a cheap Daydate daytona, but at least the subdials were correctly labled. In the meantime, I found RWG (because I thought I had been scammed and looked where to let of steam). The Watch worked pretty well for about a month or so. Then it gained about 1-10Minutes a day, depending on whether I wore the watch or not. After a Clubnight, it usualy gained 20minutes or more. Junk mainly. I got a new movement from Clive... Fixed the whole thing, spent about 10hours on repairing everything and fixing some of the subdials and so on... Gave it away to a friend and 2 weeks ago he told me the rotor inside fell of or something....! I then bought a PAM 111 from Yellomen. It was&is a pretty good watch, solid built. BUT I had to put about 125$ in it. Why? Well 75 was for relume, and 50 was for repair, because a screw inside broke and jammed the movement. The Zigmeister repaired it and its running fine till today. My next rep was a Jaeger LeCoultre Reserve de Marche. Very nice&classy watch, BUT it's in pieces now and i cant get it back together. One day I wanted to remove dust from the inside, I removed the stem and something in the movement got jammed. I repaired that, but while doing that, i scratched the Minute Hand and now I cant get the movement back together properly (I now have 2 pieces that need to be put together, but I cant do it, evertime I try, a stem doesnt line up with a jewel and so on) The next rep was a PAM 163 from Gladders. Great watch! What happened to that one? Well first, I lost one of the screws. I replaced it with a screw from my old sunglases. But a while later I lost one of the Wirelugs while taking the bus to work and its LOST4EVER and I cant get a replacement ANYWHERE. Also one of the chrono buttons doesnt come out all the way when you push it in order to start/stop the chrono. Then I got a PAM 183.. great Watch, running great, BUT I can see the tubes striping already... I give the watch another 2-3months max till I need a new tube. Got a fiddy from silix. If you want to know what happened, please look here: <a href="http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34478&hl=fiddy" target="_blank">http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...=34478&hl=fiddy</a> i got replacement though and its running fine till now BUT it needed work also. The movement inside was rattling and I had to open it and fix that myself. Bought a Sub from PT... VERY nice watch, but yesterday I aparently lost one of the clasp pins (ARGH!!!!) Paid 400$ for a DW. You can already see where this is going, can you? The watch stopps everytime it goes past 8-9o'clock, and one of the subdial hands is not properly alligned. Also while trying to remove the bezel, the crystal got a HUGE crack in the middle and on the edges. Conclusion... no matter how much I paid for a rep watch, I had issues with EVERY single watch (besides the 10$ canal st. rep). Some I have not listed, because I sold them already and didnt have them long enough to evaluate their quality. Please keep in mind, that I really take care of my watches, and handle them very carefully! I didnt really think about this till yesterday when I lost the clasp pin of my Submariner... Almost every rep I bought had issues at one point. I think I wont be buying anymore replica watches... at least not so many. Maybe the 187 will be my last watch? In the DW I will probably have to put more money in, than a genuine Datejust or SMP would cost me. In addition, the 2 LV wallets I ordered from a dealer here were BOTH faulty and Junk. I got my money back, so its not a loss for me, but I was very disapointed in the low quality for the price I paid. JCPenny has better quality for a fraction of the price I paid!

BEST Payment Option - Definitely NOT PAYPAL
slay replied to trustywatchguy's topic in General Discussion
WU is crap over here. I would have to go to a post office PERSONALLY to iniciate payment. Also fees are 30+$ per payment, not worth the hussle IMO -
didnt you find something that fits your personality a little bit more? pink maybe? anyways, voted for #1

i'm thinking about a genuine VJ23 also... 72 is too expensive for me (and i'm not using the stopwatch anyways, so i dont need a 12h counter). the vj23copy seems very unstable to me. it is running fine now, but till a few days ago, the movement stopped everytime it went past 8:20... dont know if I should get it serviced or get a genuine Vj23 :/ i fear the movement might get even worse when I get it serviced and 350$ for a VJ23 is still a lot of $$$

T SWISS T means dial has tritium markers L SWISS L means dial has luminova markers most (if no all) new produced models come with Luminova instead of tritium!
