afrodesiac

Though i'm new to this, from what I see there is either a sloppy lume application or dent in the metal markers at the square hour marker @12, 1, 2, 8, and 10 hour markers as well. Everything else looks good. Who is this from?

I have heard a decent review from GrimReaper85 and a bad review of the watch from King Bach. The first has already been referenced above, the second is here: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/165920-review-of-trusty-time-planet-ocean-aqua-terra-and-constellation/ I too am interested in a quality rep of the aqua terra. Being in your position, I'd advise you to either wait for Puretime (Angus)'s rendition or choose another watch if you want a quality rep that will both look good and behave as expected. Apparently these reps are second rate with not great detailing on the dial, lack the advertised AR coating on the crystal, and house shoddily compiled, used, decrepit ETA movements from who knows where. I'd be fine with this if it was $100, but at $328... That's a no go. I've been waiting for Angus 's return to inquire about his AT but he's on sick leave. If this continues for a while, I'm just going to get the Omega CrPO from Puretime because its been reviewed as a quality rep. Good hunting.

Thanks for the info and your original comments on it which I saw over in the request thread. I've heard that Pure time is working on their own iteration which sounds promising, though I have no history of the factory it's being made from or the time frame that it'll be released in, so I'm hoping to get an update on that soon. They used the "Swiss" movement in yours didn't they? Seeing more and more that the Swiss movements coming out of the rep factories are subpar

This is the best quality planet ocean out now, It's not a liquidmetal (titanium) version and does have the clear caseback which is a dead giveaway because the 8500 movement is in another league, but other than that it seems near perfect. There is a thread over on RWI on it if you're registered there. I may buy it soon but apparently the Noobfactory is also bringing out an Aqua Terra which will hopefully be of similar craftmanship. Depending on the wait, i'll probably either get this or the upcoming AT.

Man I did come across that recently and realized missed it. That's what's up though, did you go to an international school in HK? Our team went to Far East almost every year. I was at Kadena. To update on the search, since the watches i'm searching for are rare and almost exclusively need to be ofund on the FS threads, i'm thinking my first will be an Omega Aqua Terra or the new Omega CrPO 600m (42mm) from Angus and the Noobfactory. I'm eyeing the reviews coming out for the new ceramic PO, and although it looks like a near perfect rep, I'd rather have a watch I really want than a "perfect" rep, especially for <$300. Though the CrPo is attractive I haven't seen it in the flesh. I'm also looking into the new Aqua Terra models, though reviews here have been lukewarm so far. Hopefully the Noobfactory pulls through with their iteration of the ATs, seeing as they just released the near perfect CrPo and the bracelet, caseback and more are most likely interchangeable with the Aqua Terra. I plan on contacting PT few days to see if he has any news on the AT, and if isn't to far off, I just might wait and take my chances on it. If not, it's going to be the CrPO unless something arises on the FS threads that catches my eye. Here's the new CrPO over at PT if anyone's interested.. pureti.me/product/planet-ocean-professional-ceramic-bezel-42mm-11-noob-best-edition-on-ss-bracelet-a2836/

I've been interested in these new AT replicas also and have been doing my research over the past week or so which dictates my response; however I'm not trying to be this man's internet bodyguard or anything, just gonna lay down some facts for everyone's understanding. Here are a few points on the Aqua Terra he's referring to: The rep watch was just released recently and so there aren't many reviews on the site, all I've found is this one and the by GrimReaper on the original request thread. He, as far as I can tell, did not order the blue watch and switch; he just checked out the QC pictures on the aforementioned thread as I have and decided for himself. The watch costs $328, not a paltry sum for what it is, and there's quite a lot of false advertising going on on the listing (Lack of AR, Movement, etc.). The blue color was apparent because people posted links to multiple websites all showing that color, there was also a video posted which showed an accurate color representation. So, I'd say he's in the right with most of his statements, and as I had planned on buying this same model today I'd be frustrated too if I received the load of he did. Getting off my tangent, I hope his watch can be serviced, and hope that the dealers change their listing to show more of the truth... I mean if the feature listing isn't accurate, the movement is broken or is easily prone to breaking, and the customer service is as KingBach described, what's the difference between Trusty Time and all the other POS replica sites out there? I understand the men who sell these watches are only the man in the middle, they don't make the reps or supervise design, but the false advertising doesn't help. Seems like the BP factory is on a discouraging trend... increasing prices and decreasing quality. Good news though, I heard Angus at PureTime is making a rep of this.... I hope it's better considering it's apparently from a different factory.

Technically I can't post links yet so you'll have to copy them. I don't want to start trouble with any dealers or members considering I'm still new to this, but I think other people of this community would agree when I say the false advertising and increasingly careless QC should change. Not that they will, or this post will do anything about the quality control and procedures for what I assume is kids working in china, but we've got to start somewhere. -A ttw888.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_66&products_id=8663

Wow, that's dissapointing. I was just about to buy that same Aqua Terra soon.. it's a shame didn't live up to its hype. Any elaborations on the rest of the quality of the watch and do you know if it actually has AR? Thanks Also, have you thought about sending it to a watchsmith in the US or which ever country you're from? It could be faster and show better results, though I don't know if you want to pay extra for it... But the Chinese New Year is around the corner which may seriously delay your watches return.

Hey people, Merry Christmas Eve if you celebrate. But i'm not here to sing you carols... I've got a few questions to ask regarding buying a new rep from a dealer. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger very soon on the new Seamaster Aqua Terra with the black dial and white numerals at Trusty Time. It's a great looking model IMHO and though I know the men that sell them are salesmen, the features in the listing seem like a decent deal. (Though apparently the AR is nonexistent). Thing is, the model is new (listed December 6th- two weeks ago) and I don't believe anyone on here has it, and believe it's in its first run. I viewed the Aqua Terra request thread earlier and saw that someone had received the Captain's Edition, though not without finding some issues, which is to be expected. So here's my question: Am I being too hasty in my purchase? Does anyone have experience with buying a brand new replica from a dealer? I've seen plenty QC issues in my reading but is it worse in the first run, or does it seem to be a luck of the draw thing? Thanks for the time, and have a great holiday.

Can't wait for the black and SS version if it isn't already out. Looks promising

Beautiful watch. Still getting looks after almost a year!

Hey, I'm a new member from everywhere. Really though, being a military kid has allowed me to travel the globe in the footsteps of my father, though I've spent most of my life roaming Asian countries. I enjoy travel and love flight and aeronautics growing up around air force fighters and living on military bases all my life. In the present, being a student, my funds are a scarce resource, if you get the reference. But, being the season of giving... I'm a little more lenient to getting myself something nice. So I'm in the process of looking for my first. Not my first watch, or rep, but my first quality one. I'm interested in the old Ingy 3227 or milgauss Gv being in the field (and starting research soon). I also think the Brietling transocean and SOH 42 are great looking. I understand from my reading that neither in their best form are easy to come by, (GV, Ingy SS band or v2 soh) so I've been and will be scoping out the personal sale boards for and hidden gems. Any pointers in the right direction from the people who read this will be much appreciated. Also, I've only signed up to RWG so far. For members of multiple forums, Do the other forums tend to have more active FS pages? Just curious, I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon. Thanks for the read, and Happy Holidays. -A
