Thank you!!

I read that three and those straps look nice. I will contact him for sure. My watch guy is just a watchmaker/repair guy that knows his [censored] and isn't against working on rep's, but i doubt he (nor i) know what a "full-PR-mod" is??

I received my 5002 Big Pilot 2 days ago from Perfect Clones. A complete positive experience! The only negative was the lack of QC pics before being sent. But, as i i have said in a previous post, i'm not so sure i buy into the whole QC scenario anyway and based on the minimal investment, i will take my chances. The watch itself looks great! I'm very happy with the way the movement is working, the crown functions perfectly and the comparison to the gen gets an A+ in my eyes. I will wait about a month and take it to my guy for a "preventative" service. Other than that, the only thing that could get modded is the strap, but if it loosens up a bit, i will just leave it as is. Happy customer! Enjoy the pics. Unfortunately, i waited for darkness to begin, so not the greatest light for good exposure.

I have from TT>> OMG0267A - Planet Ocean Ceramic SS/RU Swiss Eta 2824-2 I'm very happy with it. There may be some "flaws" that the microscopes can see, but if i were to look a a gen from 2 feet away vs mine, i can't see any difference. Besides, it's less than $400!! Btw, very happy with the movement vs an A7750 that came in another rep i purchased. This runs a touch fast, but very smooth. Go for it, you won't be disappointed.

I have an IWC 5002 on the way. It will be my third rep and the one that i would like to get as close to gen as possible.

Total newbie question, but can't find my answer anywhere...I get that 'franken" means getting your rep up to "gen" standards, but who does this and how do i get in contact? Is there anywhere in the US or Canada? Do these people "franken" all brands or just specific ones? Thx!

Yup, first QC pics. I guess the way i looked at it was if there wasn't anything major that i could see, then i wasn't going to complain. I have my doubts if they actually even send the same watch as the QC pics...Maybe someone that's a little more seasoned could add their two cents on that. Either way, very happy with the Omega. I'm more excited about the IWC when i get it back, as well, i have a IWC 5002 on the way as well. This is addictive!

Thats a great review!!

I just wanted to share some pics of one of my favourite watches. Does anyone have an Ebel rep and if so, post some pics and some feedback on what you think of it.

There are definitely some flaws...For under $400 there better be. When i zoom right in, you can see the lume isn't done very well either, but again, you don't see that from looking with the naked eye. i have my eye on a few other reps that i would be more apt to send off to someone to mod them so they are close to perfect and maybe i will do it to this one too. Can someone please recommend the best person to do this and how they can be contacted? Thx!

I just wanted to post some pics of my PO. I received it about 2 weeks ago. With the exception of a small dust particle under the glass, it's a great Rep. I can't say the same for the other that i had ordered at the same time. An IWC Top Gun 3799...It's arrived pretty much DOA. It has the a7750 movement. I could have sent it back, as the TD was very accommodating, but i chose to just deal with it here and took it to a watch maker/repair guy. I guess a couple of the wheels are bent and the parts are ordered...Once fixed, he will guarantee it for 1 yr. Not bad. Anyway, an ok experience for my first purchase(s).
