  1. Today I went to the shop and tested it out. Metal bracelet definitely does not fit. Endlink curve is different diameter. Does not sit close enough to the watch. Also bracelet and Gear S3 Classic finishing is different - it will not look good together. Might be that CRPO rubber strap can be fitted as rubber is bit flexible. Anyway, will order S3 Frontier - black version of the Gear S3 and will try to find suitable aftermarket strap that has curved ends and also will try to fit the CRPO rubber strap to see how will it look...
  2. Thinking about purchasing my first smartwatch in addition to my several HQ reps. Gear S3 seems like a reasonable choice with 3 days battery life. However, I am not happy with the Gear S3 standard or eBay strap / bracelet options that I can find. I have an extra Noob CRPO 45mm bracelet. Was thinking that the lug with is the same - 22mm and case sizes are also similar 45 vs 46mm. Could I fit CRPO bracelet to Gear S3 Classic? Does it look ok? I do not have Gear S3 to test it out. Thought that maybe someone here has the watch and bracelet and could test it out how would it look... Thanks!
  3. PAM 382 KW with Seagull movement. I have had it for a week. Already developing some patina. At first leather strap smelled badly. But now, after swimming with it in Adriatic sea for a week and drying it all the time in sun, smell has gone away. I am guite happy with the purchase. Looks good on the wrist. Keeps time very well (+3 sec / day) and is now waterproof (I did grease the seals before going into sea). Perfect holiday watch!
  4. So I have 111, 113 and 372. This is my 113 with white strap:
  5. Noob PAM 372 + Victory Straps UK mahagon Ostrich leg strap. My favorite combo at the moment.
  6. Any trusted dealer should find you one. Just ask "Noob PAM 111N".
  7. Link above is correct one. Straps: I have two rep straps from Toro (rubber and asso). Black and dark brown strap were ordered from ebay. These are not very good ones. Black one looks bit cheap. Also I have ordered two more straps from CB Straps (black snake skin and brown X-Mas ammo). You can find him from Facebook. Will post more photos, when I receive ordered straps from him.
  8. Got my Noob CrPO from Toro today. Replaced bracelet with black rubber with orange stiching. I am vey happy with the combo.
  9. SMP 40 Years Bond on blue Nato leather. Very comfortable on the wrist.
  10. By service you mean oiling? Also, is it worth to attempt waterproofing this watch? Can it be done?
  11. With my old quartz watches. *Apparently the replica PAM is my most expensive watch so far (until my 45mm Noob Omega CrPO arrives).
  12. Yea, it is an addiction. I am now going to order an Noob CrPO 45mm asap...
  13. Just received my PAM 111 Noob from Toro Bravos. This is my first rep. I like it...
  14. Nice! Add more and better quality photos...
  15. CrPO has glass back side and thickness is abt. 4mm more than on the LMPO (LMPO has metal back side). CrPO is newer type. Has option to attach better looking rubber straps. However, expert only needs one look to the CrPO movement through the glass back to tell that it is not an original Omega. Omega replicas costing more than 300 USD here http://www.pf-818.com/ (or at other trusted dealer) should all be fine. As stated, avoiding chrono is wise move. "Om 8500" movement you referred does not mean anything. It is just engraving. Actual movements used on latest higher quality replicas are: Swiss ETA 2824 / Asian 2836 copy / Asian Clone of the Clone "SBIHRZ2". Las one should be avoided (use Search to find out more information). However, more and more replicas are equipped with that cheap movement and it is hard to tell, what is actually in the watch before you can examine it with your own eyes.
  16. As no one answered, I tried to find out info about the bad asian movement used. Here is picture that shows well what to avoid. On the left there is Clone of the Clone "SBIHRZ2" and on the right there is Asian ETA 2836. I marked instant visual differences with red ovals. Bad copy has screw dial foot retainers. This shold be well visible even through the glass back of the watch.
  17. I want both - rubber and Ti bracelet... Rubber is to be used in holiday season when wearing shorts and T shirt. And bracelet is used when at work and wearing a suit. ---------- RE: PayPal It is my first rep purchase. I am bit afraid to buy without PayPal and to have it shipped to EU. Toro refused to provide me PayPal payment option. So, now I am looking to buy from Perfect Clones (not sure yet, if they will provide me with the PayPal payment option or not). RE: Movement Perfect Clones has "Asian Clone 2836" and "Swiss eta 2824-2" movement options. In some topics it is suggested to take asian as it is new, cheaper, works fine and "swiss ones are usually second hand, dirty and etc". BUT - user Smab warned above about Asian Clones. However, was it warning about "Asian Clone 2836" or "Highbeat 2813"???
  18. Thanks! Ok, I sent an e-mail to him from the web page. I also need PP payment.
