Great pictures. Thanks 4 sharing! A real super rep!

Thanks Toro. That is what I thought. Too bad though... It feels like Angus and Noob get a lot of power over pricing in this case. No wonder Noob prices are sky rocketing compared to H products. Noob is almost exclusively producing for Angus. Especially because Noob isn't spitting out large badges lately! @ Cromag: I don't believe Angus sells the highest volumes. It is just a matter of relationship in this case.

+1 Well put!

Bump for someone to shoot this guy a email and ask him how far along this movement is

Most of you know I'm a huge fan of Andrew. I bough like a gazillion reps from him over the years and in my opinion he is the the best dealer around. In the beginning I once or twice commited adultery with PureTime I must shamingly admit, but the experience could never match the service standard Andrew (or Josh) has. As I got banned from the Geek I only lurk there once or twice a week with a fake id. Mostly in the PureTime section. I love his updates, Noob prototype pics and sneak peeks. Now it seems that only Angus is getting watches from Noob.... He has a really good relationship with Noob so it seems whilst Andrew and Josh are namely updating H products. What if I don't want to buy from PureTime but do want Noob watches? Any good alternatives?

The pearl on the Avenger has dropped into the bezel. PersonaIy I would have rejected it as the pearl is a hard fix due to the fact that the bezel is almost impossible to remove and the rider tabs can not be removed. Other than that great choise!

Indeed. That's too bad. The movement plate is missing paint at all the same spots as the 1st watch. Even the scratch is there. It leaves me to believe the movement is te same. Maybe they only switched case backs?

Same movement. Reject. PureTime sucks. Over & out.

Way too many Panerai' are coming out lately.... At least for me to buy I love them all. Sure there are some small tells but damn are these new releases super accurate!

+1 for BT

This guy is a SCAM!! Plain and simple. He is offering Asian 7750s as Swiss... On a Dutch IOffer version. That is down right deceiving people.

Wise decision. Look at that stupid fock here:

I bet you this guy probably orders from the same dealers we use... Josh, Anderw, Angus etc. than marks up with 20%.

Great to share but to all reading: this is NOT a trusted dealer here. So if something goes wrong you are on your own. Just a heads up!

Yeah don't post a link... It's nice to search his whole section just to come to the conclusion you can't find them Or at least I have no idea which verions you are talking about. The "new for x month" section on his website is generated with random watches from that brand. So I hardly think there are new Navitimers coming any time soon.

Maybe because this post is a year old

Cool story. 100 bucks his volcano is a rep

Seems the are 2 camps. H factory= preferred supplier to Josh & Andrew Noob= preferred supplier to Angus

Seagull ST19 = Venus 75

Imo the only two options are to source a new crown-tube combo (unlikely) or just shorten the stem so that the crown sits flat against the case when pushed in. In most cases this even does not effect water resistance. The last is a small and cheap fix for every watch maker.

Gummed up or malfunctioning reversing wheels. That should be looked after but does not explain the movement not wanting to run. My money is on the balance hack. Bring it to a local repair shop. Both should be a easy fix.

Most probably broken or indeed not seated correctly.

Stuff with Naphtha also works very well for a final clean.

That's sort of a paradox. Proper cleaning and lubrication is the base of a well performing and accurate watch. It is like building a great V8 Chevy engine back together and the filling her up with 2 stoke oil.... If you know what I mean. You have come this far so it would be a shame if you get it back together but not running accurate. The +-5. Sec/ day is Chronometer accurate. A standard that is a great challenge even for the Swiss... You will have the biggest chance on a good outcome if you make sure all parts are very clean. Buy some Rodico cleaning gum and clean by hand or use a cheap Ultra Sonic cleaner (+-$30) and use dish washer soap and water and some Zippo lighter fluid to clean afterward (this will make the parts dry without rust). You are better of using NO oil than using the wrong oils. The 7750 is very sensitive to oil. If you use the wrong oil big chance you will not get it to perform accurate. Regulating the watch is a whole other ball game. Best to use some trial and error and monitor it over 24 hours and check with an atomic clock. If you use the search function you will find some posts over regulating and which studs to push on the balance assembly. Good luck and keep us posted!
