Thanks. I read Precious Time's thread here and that is great. I trust precious time based on that thread and I am defintely not saying this applies to PT. This is an issue with King and her advertising.
I will most likely buy a TT Bracelet from PT. I was hoping I didn't have to based on the sale from our RWG member. However, based on the gold test...my new bracelet is not real gold at all.
I just bought a TT bracelet from one of our respected members and he had bought the bracelet with a TT Sub watch from King. King's site says it is 14kt. The seller from this site showed me and said as far as he knows...the bracelet is real gold (as Precious Time has reported).
I just had the watch sized and in the process had one of the links tested for gold. It had absolutely no 14kt gold on the watch. Not even 10kt.
I have to say...I'm not happy about it and those who bought watches from King under the same impression should have something to worry about.
What to do about this situation?
I've contacted my seller to work it out. I'm sure it will be worked out among us two. The bigger question is regarding King and her advertising...
I think Rolex is overpriced too but at least you get an in-house propriatary movement. PAMs use others movements and for that...they are overpriced.
My only gen watch is a SS Sea Dweller. I wouldnt buy a gen PAM mainly because the models I like are over 5g. I personally don't care that they make limited runs so they can charge an arm and leg for them.
I'd rather buy a Breitling that uses other movements but aren't so easlity copied.
No Panerai or watch for that matter is a good investment. If you are looking to take money and increase it by some percentage...invest your money in a CD or IRA or some other long term investment that will have a nice ROI.
A watch is something you buy that you will enjoy and hope that if you needed to sell it...you might get what you initially invested. Perhaps Rolex is the only brand that will go up in value. Panerai is close. Oh, I forgot Patek too...
If it were me...i'd get a PAM that can't be copied.
I just received a PAM 90 Power Reserve from River and it sure looks great. it's on the SS bracelet and i've already had so many nice comments on it.
Just curious how close it is to the real watch.
Also, mine does not have the display back but instead has the solid back.
Thanks
You're screwed, glued, and tatoo'd
If you think TTK is going to respond to you now you're nuts. You posted quite a review in PGII.
Sorry to hear about your loss...however...fact is...you should have ordered from River, Eddie, Joshua or Trustwatchguy...if you wanted speedy responsivness
I just received my Pam 90 from River (shipped and delivered in 5 days)! River is the man!
I need assistance in sizing the bracelet for my puny wrist. Can someone give me some pointers?
Thanks!
