My advice ... Avoid andrew at trusty time. It's ok if the watch works (for a while) but if your watch doesn't work don't expect any quick responses. Once they have the £££ you are third priority..

That Gap between your big toe and one next to it is huge!

Hi All I just wanted to start a thread and I will expand on it tonight! First things first - do not buy Milgauss from Andrew at trusty time ... unless you want a broken watch to play with (like I did) and transform it. Thanks, KingBach

Did anyone buy this in the rand?

Hi guys I just wanted to give you a quick update so the Aquatab broke within one month after I waited three months to get back delivery. In addition the planet Ocean but I bought from trusted time the helium Bell fell off and he wanted to charge me 60 years dollars plus US$50 delivery that's hundred pounds for a new one then watched that seems to have held up is the constellation. I don't think that I will be buying a replica watch from trusty time ever again I have found that he is not very helpful doesn't keep to his promises and I would actually avoid I was so disappointed when he sent me to watches both of them didn't work very very very disappointed.

This is a continuation of the thread where I reviewed Trusty Time and the Planet Ocean. Following the successful purchase of a 42.5mm Omega Planet Ocean I decided to purchase a present for my mother and to treat myself to another watch. I decided to buy the Swiss movement Aqua Terra (Black) for myself and a Constellation Eagle (Quartz). I originally decided to get the Blue Aqua Terra but after seeing the QC pictures the shade of blue did not even look close to the gen so I thought I would play it safe with black. After waiting patiently for delivery I finally managed to get the packages. I slowly examined my mother's watch to check the quality of the metal etc and clasp etc. I then proceeded to check that it actually worked after fiddling around with it for several minutes the watch did not seem to actually work and I thought that the battery must have been dead, in addition the watch was too small for my mothers wrist and there were not enough links for included and it was quite tight on her wrist. I then went on to inspect my Aqua Terra and found the watch to feel a lot lighter than my Planet Ocean, its as it the links were hollow or something and the watch felt like it was an obvious rep. It felt pretty flimsy and the movement was actually loose. Andrew at Trusty Time assured me that I would be getting a sturdy one as the factory does "checks" before they are sent out. After looking at the watch for a few moments I was find as I was just happy it worked. so I wound the watch and started wearing it. about 20 minutes the watch started to stop when the second hand reached the 23rd minute marker. I was advised by Andrew to smash the watch hard against my hand to get the watch going again, which it did, but this is not a practical solution. I emailed him several times saying that I wanted two new watched that worked and that I wanted a different watch entirely or even a different model because I do not want the hassle of going through the whole process if the "fixed" watches messed up again. he said that this was not possible and I could only get it refurbished. I was seriously pi55ed off because I had spend over £500 on buying watched from him and he wants to refurb me these two broken watches, I paid the full price for a brand new rep and he wants to fob me off with these broken reps? I am currently in the process of sending these back to the factory and they will no doubt take months to get these back to me. I wanted to let you all know that whilst some replicas are good the AQ and the constellation are not so I would avoid these two models in particular. the look great on the pictures but we all want a watch that can tell time right ... I'll keep you all updated with the process. Thanks.

Hi, sorry to see that actually, I ordered the same watch last week. please tell me you didn't get it from Trusty time... he's been good to me so far.

Hi Pete, thank for your message, very informative. I have no idea about who actually makes the watches etc so not sure about the noob PO etc. is there a link to the site with the best versions? I am generally quite happy with my PO apart from the bezel ... I will post pictures when I get the new watches. The factory is a little slow sending the watch out as I can't track it yet... I hope I get it before Christmas.

I've just ordered the black one. I hope that is doesn't rattle. I went for blue until I looked at the ac pics.

Hi all, by way of update I received the new bezel in the end but it's still not perfect, as in its not centre so I left the original one. I wanted to also say that the watch is overall good quality, like any watch it keeps time well but does run a little fast, I would say it runs a minute or two too fast per month, I have just bought an aqua terra and constellation from trusty time and I'll let you know how those go when I get them. If you guys would like some pics let me know.

Ohh Freddy, is that the 350z?

Yeah I guess so. What other reps did you guts buy? I've had a few people notice NY nice watch when I fist out it on.

Hi All, I recently had a transaction with Andrew from Trusty Time (ttw888.com) and I wanted to provide a review of the quality of the watch itself and the level of service I have received from him. I was contemplating buying a genuine Planet Ocean after deciding that it was time to buy a nice watch for myself. I was in the shopping centre and tried on the Tag Carerras, Omega AT and PO. After a lot of debating I really wanted to go with the flagship model and went with the PO, this is not a review of the watched themselves but the quality (which I think everyone is more focussed on). I started doing some research online about replicas on youtube and I saw a video from a guy (evilcartman?) who was comparing two reps with a gen. After watching this video several times I was a little more confident as the copies seemed to be very close to the original with the main difference being the bezel, where by the pearl on the top of the triangle being the most obvious fault (in addition to the glow in the dark dial which is minor). After looking at the different specced watches on the website, I ended up going for the 42mm PO Titanium with the Swiss ETA movement because that was the one that fit me best in the shops. The one I ended up choosing was the most expensive one in the range, I was going to go hard or go home I thought because I didn’t want a poor quality rep. So after a few days delivery I finally received the watch. It was packaged well, it was ticking when I opened the watch so that was good, it meant that the mechanism is working well. But this is where problems started to arise… Once I opened the watch I was inspecting the watch, as you do, and I noticed the following faults: - the bezel was not the best quality, There were marks where it looked like the paint work scratched, didn’t look to be ceramic at all (though Andrew assured it was) - the triangle on the top of the dial (where the pearl is located) has a mark on it which made the watch look like an obvious rep. It was not noticeable on the QC (Quality Control) Photos so I couldn’t comment. It was not consistently painted - The alignment of the actual dial is not 100%, you can tell that it needs to be adjusted anti-clockwise slightly in order to get the 12, 3, 6, 9 into the N, E, S, W positions. This is not too obvious but just an observation. - I thought that Andrew would happily send me another bezel so no biggie there - I moved on to adjusting the bracelet and this is there it got a little more worrying. There was a screw missing on one links on the clasp which actually fell apart once I had removed the plastic that was wrapping the straps. Luckily I had extra links after I adjusted the strap and used a screw from one of the other links (tip be very careful when adjusting the straps because the screws are tine and no wonder they forgot to put one in) Trusty Time’s policy is to notify them of any faults upto 24 hours after signing for the package, I emailed him immediately after my inspection and we had some dialogue about the faults and I sent him many photos of the faults I notived (mainly the bezel). If I’m honest I couldn’t be bothered to send the watch back due to these tiny faults so I asked if he could send me a bezel instead. I had considered sending it back in exchange for a 45.5 PO but he decided against that and agreed to send another bezel. He also promised to send me an additional pearl as I had read these tend to fall off after some time, he agreed but didn’t deliver on that part. The watch itself is currently keeping time very well, I will do a follow-up review in a few months time. At the time of writing the review I am still waiting for him to send the part - I will update following this review. I wanted to ask the forum whether anyone had had similar experiences and what the quality of the other watches are like. I am particularly interested in the Omega AT and the Rolex Milgauss.
