  1. This phone sites of PcClones and Trusty watch are copying the same prices as "our good guys". I guess the main thing to know is the url address which is correct for our dealers... These other guys are crooks. If you can steal their name and Logo, they surely can steal your money. There are hundreds and hundreds of replica sites where we don't know what kind of watch your going to get if any.... Sad but true! MM
  2. The big one is 17" square x 1" deep approx. $1100 The small one is 5.3" square x 1" deep $ 600 Pretty cool...That's 2 watches though.. MM
  3. Wolf, you Pams are just unbelievable! You are a master ioni my eyes.. MM
  4. 1500 would be fair, from what I see around town and on the internet. People are trying to get 2,000 except they are not selling! MM
  5. Vac, I have noticed that you lume work have improved and is at a totally different level.. Just Gorgeous! MM
  6. Try this.. I spoke to him last week.. sean@etaswiss.net Good Luck.. MM
  7. Their is noting wrong with the Asian Movement. I would not go to the trouble of buying a swiss ETA and paying to install it. The asian movement if serviced, will give you many years of life.. Yes would I rather have the Swiss ETA, sure i would, except not for that amount of money. Maybe down the road years later if you have movement problems (which I don't think you will), then swap it out for the Swiss movement. Swiss movements are almost extinct, so if have Swiss on the brain, which is ok... maybe purchase a swiss movement and put it away.. MM
  8. Is this watch a homage or a Panerai? We Really can't tell.. This is not new to Ebay! A few years (maybe 5 years) there was a seller from Malaysia doing the same thing. He was selling Pamerai straps w deployment and giving a Pam watch awash eventually they kicked him out! This guy is doing it a little smarter! MM
  9. Well buddy, you are back her now, and that's what counts... Cheers Kurt, Glad to hear your daughter is doing great.. MM
  10. OK, Here we go. Yes the chinese are offering much finer stapes than they ever have. They are offering supposedly "high quality leather straps, same as genuine". They also are offering Exoitc strap also. Do i think a $100 Chinese strap is worth it? Not in my opinion... I would rather pay $300 for a custom strap where I know the quality is there, I also know the I will be getting the finest leather and the best workmanship. The chinese are ok if someone can not afford to go to the better Strap Makers. The chinese are brilliant business men and marketing genius's. Look at the Panerai watch offerings from our dealers.. Every Ultimate Version states "Best Replica To Date.", or AR done by Same Factory as Swiss. Come on, this is a bunch of baloney.. My final thought would be..Buy your watches from China, and find a nice Strap maker that you like his style and that you can communicate. I am finding lately there ther are some very high end Strap Makers in China and Thailand. Now these guys can give you a strap for $100, and its well worth the $100. You can more for your money in china IMO. Their costs are lower, there living expense are lower, therefore they pass this to you. Labor rate is much cheaper overseas. i will help you out and give you a big tip. A very close friend of mine has been dealing with a strap maker Overseas. His work is as good as it gets. He states on his blog sit that his straps are $40 to $75. Email address is: pan-stasiu@wp.pl (corrected email address) Good Luck My Friend, MM
  11. Now what we do without our Master Watch Maker and Modder... Happy Holidays Rob, MM
  12. Fortis does make some $1000 watches. I am sure you can find some lower quality reps if you contact one of our Dealers Narikaa. It may take some time, but he is the only one I know who could source it for you when he goes on a buying spree.. Send him a PM! MM
  13. Why don't you use a little Locktite Blue, iIt will hold the screw except you can break it loose with a screwdriver if necessary..Make sure it's the "blue version" Good luck MM
  14. Welcome my friend to RWG lLooks you found the good stuff right away.. Enjoy your stay and hold on to our wallet, but because our watch disease is expensive! MM
  15. You got it Kurt, I will PM in a day or so when i get some. I will do whatever I can to help relieve some of pressure. I have been there and I know how you feel...It's not fun...But you will be OK. and that's a promise mate! Talk soon, MM
  16. Beautiful work, beautiful watch... Enjoy your new beauty... I like the way he packages his watches... Very Classy.. MM
  17. I think Jeff has a valid point, Everyone nitpicks, and i think its not fair to the owner of the watch. They are not all crazy like us.. MM
  18. Kurt, so sorry for the bad new about work and then on top of that you daughter becoming ill. Let me tell you, I have been there... I just haven't shared with the forum as I very private about my personal life. Maybe I should share like you did... I think it's a good release and a strong support system. I aim just not quite ready yet.. Hey buddy, Can we help you out by sending you watches to service? I am sure with you incredible reputation here you can get a ton of business!! ?? Let us know your thoughts about watch repair! Cheers Mate, MM
  19. If i had to bet, I would bet they don't change the crystal.. MM
  20. Thanks mate, I was waiting for someone to answer me,,, MM
