Yes, can confirm pf.838.com is current website (as at this moment). Joshua has just dispatched a GMT ll to me & this is my 3rd rep from him over last 3 years, and each watch I've received from him is mint and still operates perfectly. Unfortunately, I cant say this about others that I have received reps from previously.
Thank you all so much for your kind input. For the layman it's certainly a confusing conundrum, but based on all your comments I'll now go with the Asian 2836-2 and save the additional US100...many thanks again!
Hi team....If I choose Swiss ETA 2836 over Asia 3286 movement (and pay approx. USD100.00 extra), without getting a watchmaker to dissasemble and check it for me on receipt, is there any other way I can check to see that the supplier has sent me the correct movement? Does a trusted supplier realy solve this problem? ... many thanks for any help you can give.
