  1. Toro isn't responding to me also, made an order with him over a week ago, communication upto payment was good as always, discussed delivery options because I was hoping to get it in time for a holiday, so paid extra for faster shipping. now its been over a week and i have heard nothing, its just a strap that he said was in stock so I'm not expecting qc pics but I have had no tracking details and no idea if he's dispatched yet, 2 emails with no reply, I have a friend who's made an order in the last few days successfully so he's happy to respond for new sales! Its not good that he just ignores your emails

  2. Why people get so hung up about PayPal I have no idea, you're buying counterfiet goods, the sellers taking a risk already, maybe we should take a little too, after all they are trusted for a reason. I got 10% off for using western union, used a promo code on western union so saved the full 10% with no fees to pay! Winning Ja feel?

  3. Well his time graph machine was a clock on the wall! Im not sure he serviced it, when he opened the watch he was impressed with the movement an then he asked me what was up with it,  I said nothing and that I just wanted it serviced as I have been told they aren't the best when they come out of the factory, easy $95 for him to just say he had serviced it and give it me back, I only found him by google search and the results came back with people on repgeek recommending him, the recommendations where hit & miss but I went for it  :huh:

     

    Is the power reserve something that can be fixed? 

  4. Hi,

     

    Recently bought a LMPO noob with a A2824 movement, the watch is great, I took it for a service the first week I had it to a guy called George Yoon on Pitt Street in Sydney for $95 and kind of wish I hadn't, he put a few scratches on the case back and "serviced" it, only I'm not sure he did a very good job, the movement is noisy as hell when Im wearing the watch, the power reserve is about 22 hours and it is fast by about 20 secs a day, is this normal? am I expecting to much from a rep? He was impressed by the quality of the movement when ho opened the watch up. One worry is when I went to collect it he looked up at the clock on his wall then at my watch and said "yep. ok" and handed it me!!

     

    I could always take it back and complain but the watch itself is great and I don't want him messing it up, can anyone recommend a rep friendly guy around Sydney?

     

    If I was to swap the movement out, would it take a gen ETA or even a Sellita? 

     

    Thanks

  5. As I suspected, I will go ahead and order the Asian movement, for me I will be going for a BK Sub with a Sellita, I have a Noob LMPO that I ordered with an Asian movement and apart from the rotor being a bit noisy it looks like a very good movement, gold in colour with the ETA stamp, still not sure if I got a Swiss ETA by mistake as all the other pics of the LMPO the movement has the silver looking movement

  6. Hello Chaps

     

    Im about to order a NOOB submariner v4 ceramic and the options for movements are

     

    Asian ETA 2836 

    Asian 3135

    Swiss ETA 2836

     

    Now I'm not really interested in the 3135, but the price difference between the swiss and the asian ETA is $180, I'm buying the watch as a gift for my father so reliability is the most important thing for me, I know the Asian vs Swiss thing has been discussed a lot and I am leaning towards the Asian based on the info I have found, but the seller has said "its a brand new genuine swiss movement from Switzerland" and for that price I would expect it to be, the seller is a trusted dealer so what I'm asking is, is it worth paying the extra?

     

    Apologies if this kind of question is getting old.......

  7. I have just received mine from Toro and it looks great, I read somewhere that it was a good idea to get it serviced as they come from the factory pretty dry, can anyone back this up? Also the movement that most TD's are showing is a silver looking 2824 movement but mine has a gold movement?
