Good day, here a quick review of my first order for an Panerai 10 day, with a independently adjustable GMT hand in RG (31110) with the request to have a strap fitted from an other PAM from watcheden.com (Sarah). Here the timeline: 1. 25th.06 placed order and wanted to pay via Westernunion 2. 26th.06 received data for Westernunion via email 3. 27th.06 paid order and sent code 4. 28th.06 Email from Sarah, that there was a code mistake in my confirmation email. The The order code I had sent and the watch description did not fit together. I sent a email back and explained the issue 5. 29th.06 Money was picked up by her 6. 02nd.07 received an email with the tracking code 7. 08th.07

So I guess you bought one?

Yes I remeber! But was there ever real proof? Or just gossip?

yes! Some weeks ago! It just need a new stRAP (22/18)..The rep-strap is so bad!

Hunting private people selling 1 or 2 watches happened some years ago in Germany... it might be fruitless, but good PR..their margins can allow such enterprises.... but you are right that they should hawk down "gen (rep)" sellers., but prove that you did this on purposes...

Never thought that they might to catch you if you sell a watch on a forum? Selling something to a new or low posting member? Am I Paranoid?

No I am not... viral marketing can been very creative

Hi, Do you not think that we where watched? That there where not a member or 2 from e.g. Rolex

Please inform us what you paid...or how bad you where pulled over the counter.....

Ask Tony at asian7750.com....8 USD and the problem is solved!

GREAT WATCH! Which order number is this at Tony? HU??? Thanks for sharing!

Hi, #1 is a fantasy model, but who cares! FM has so many models, hard to know them all! #2 is nearly spot on to the real deal, just the RG is a bit off! It is a big watch! I have them both and love'm! TFDM

Hi, I have done several deals with Tony from asian7750.com: http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=60742 http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=53335 Regards, TFDM

Hi there! I went yesterday to my local AD to check out the Edox Grand Ocean Cronographe Automatique. Nice watch! Real great feel and nice to wear. The movement is an in-house automatic rewind calibre Edox no. 012 with a reserve of 42 hours which is a modified ETA7701 (or something)

Hi there, I normally am a brown leather (e.g. crocodile), white stitch strap (see pic 4) kind of guy

Hi, this is difficult! You have to either pull the pins out at the side with a small tweezer or push them in. Pushing them into the old strap is easier then pulling them out,. This gets the strap off and then you can try getting the pins out, which s easier then the other way around! This is how did it! Of course you risk not getting them out, but will you want to use/sell the old strap? TFDM

Do you also do a white stich open/cloased box stich?

Hi there, until now I have always paid with PP buying (to) many watches. But the dealer I am now dealing with does not offer PP, but credit card. I know, fraud is international, but for prejudice reasons China seams different to me

I had not thought about that one....lets say "from dealers only"... after all that is where the "food chain" starts!

Hi there! I just started a poll/statistic on technical issues from delivered watches. But what about the other problems of our hobby e.g. wrong watch delivered or watch differs from pic on the net - that kind of stuff. Thanks for sharing and putting some statistics into drop-shipping/quality checking/delivery issues Regards! TFDM

I have had it for 4 weeks! And now it started to slow down! I know you can adjust this, but that wouldbe my first time watch work and on a 400 USD watch I rather send it back!

Hi there! I have bought 9 watches from 4 dealers this year and have had 5x times an issue. Either right away e.g. dead upon arrival or broken chronograph function after 4 weeks. So I have been really "not happy

Good day, I just received a new watch with an A7750-28k movement. It loses averagely 5-7 min/day when not worn and 3-5 min/day when worn? Should I complain or is this realistically okay? Thanks! TFDM

Hi, known flaws are slightly loss bezel and crown issues....but this various from watch to watch! Other wise great watch...try Robert at REPGEEK! He has some great offers.. TFDM
