Monday 1 to Friday 5 -> 64764-64614 = 150 orders in a working week. Mumble... Let's say average price of a rep = 250$? Let's say at least 40% is gain? -> 15000$ in a week (in China!!). Fu_k my self. I definitively chose the wrong profession

Ordered Sept 8, address confirmed on Sept 10, "I will immediately send , thank you" said from the dealer on 12. Let's see: it has a huge amount of good feedback (1476 sold item with 99% positive feedback) so I'm not worried for now. Also the Estimated Shipping is declared 15 - 20 Days

Since the one that comes with the rep is very short. I searched and searched, and finally I got this one: 23mm MiLTAT Kevlar Watch Strap in White Stitches In this moment my version with white stitches is not present on their site, but here you can see the one with red stitches: http://www.strapcode.com/store/23mm-miltat-kevlar-watch-strap-stitches-p-2529.html Good price, good piece and it arrived in IT (from UK) with tracked and signed envelope within 8 days from the order.

Ok, so far: it looks like this is Russian one (at least the Cyrillic words "СдеЛано В РОССИИ" at the bottom of the dial claims "Made in Russia"). More probably it's a Volmax, which owns Aviator, Buran, Sturmanskie, and Russian Watch Factory (РЧЗ). (from wikipedia) Got it. It has reference 3105-1571282

Hi Guys, Can you help me identifying this piece? A colleague and friend of mine gave it to me this morning to check it as it doesn't keep good time. Since I'm in the office I can't open its back to check what's inside and put it on the TimeGrapher, but with the Tickoprint on my phone I've already seen like 7ms beat error and it's loosing like 35sec crown up - gaining 20sec face up. It's detected as 21600BPH. The movement should be a Volmax 3105. It's manual winding, no quick date set, no hack for seconds. Also, do you think it's gen? It arrived with that certificate but no gen box, and has been paid around 120$

Wow.. Just found a couple of my old watches in a jewellery box...

LOL, is the Samsung one a smart-watch ancestor? -
Agree. These marks can easily be cleaned. And they're even not visible while wearing it...

Ahahah, fantastic, and the final touch is the car stereo transmitting continuouslty this:

There's always something worse mate This one is Lapo Elkann's car (note that Lapo Elkann is brother of John Elkann, currently owner Fiat Chrysler group...) (this is the original)

My father was RC modeler. He was creating his own fuselages using fibreglass, he said it was much more satisfying than buy box and assemble them. I didn't get his passion. Anyway, have you seen THIS: ? I think next step can only be one of these:

Agree. This is how it should look: Personally I'd go for this: http://www.torobravos2014.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=18_49&product_id=958

I agree with Nightwatch: it may be the movement has been tighten with the stem not perfectly aligned. To the OP: yes, unscrew the crown, pull the stem in the hour adjustment position and put some silicon grease (but carefully check with a lens that the thread is in good condition!)

Narikaa is in the game but you can find him @ rwg.bz forum, where he's also very actively participating to forum's threads

ALL movements have flaws, no watchmaker or anyone that is deep into watches will exchange it for a gen PP caliber. But it's a very good movement. The main flaws of that watch are the hands, not the movement which is covered all the time. The gen hands are like these, but for now there's no replica with correct hands and good movement all together (there's the sellita SW200 one but that has a worse dial, so...):

Calibers comparation ETA Mitota and their clones - the list

It's a Jap Miyota 9015, and yes, it's definitively a good one! -
Automatic movement = mechanical movement with autowinding system = the one you have. If you're referring to quartz... well... Maybe you can find models that you like, but unless they've microstepper quartz, their seconds hand will tick and it's really really a tell of a low quality not gen watch... Moreover quartz will practically always have the mineral glass, yours is real sapphire with AR treatment. Like comparing the chocolate with [censored]... Anyway you CAN wind it. Just be careful and don't be too fast with your fingers, that's it.

I know. This is the problem. Looks here the gen VS rep comparison because of the gen using Lemania and rep using Venus (ST19 is its clone):

Lol

It will not change much...

You may be able to find a new movement here, contacting the seller: http://stores.ebay.it/toolbox2009/Movement-Parts-/_i.html?_fsub=5008858016 The most important thing is to understand if the base is a 2824 or a 2836 (supposedly the second), so that the swap should be done with a more standard not modified 2836 (you'll, or better an horologist, will have to swap hands, dial and date wheel).
