  1. Is it true, that your middle name starts with an "A", as in Artist ?
  2. Your comment is cozy. But do not forget that the Egiziano was an order, made for a specific reason,and not for promenade parade, some years later,by wackos like us. No?
  3. Easily earned $$$. Do you know the average monthly income in China ? And don't be so sure about low selling numbers. They do sell lots of them.
  4. Expensive or not,they laugh on the way to the bank. $ 400 plus for a cost of barely $ 50. I think that replicas enter the era of inflated prices. As most of the gens. Something smells fishy
  5. That's the main ,emphasis to main,reason for bad mouthing replicas. Some 'clever' chaps are trying to fish into ignorance and sell seaweeds for ribbons of silk.

    Say Cheese!

    Alpha with a big A. Not a lucky guess though. I got one from them hours ago.
  7. Very nice watch.Enjoy it until a new thing comes along. BTW,those who spend thousands on gen watches are not idiots .Simply they have the money .Nothing more ,nothing less
  8. I can "see" your point,but he is a mender.He is able to cure a sick watch,and I 've seen DEAD and gone thingies, in his hands, getting new life. Most of all he has no gains in telling me that a movement is cheap and dirty or gen,since I am not buying watches from him,because he is not selling. His attitude is pure pro and he is charging peanuts for his services. My knowledge in movement things are ZERO, as far as mechanics are the subject,therefore I have to rely on what he says. If he gets it wrong ,then I say wrong too. That simple
  9. Hi, I don't know your expertise in watches and movements. Mine is equal to an amateur 4th division level. But my watch restorer is adamant in saying that,contemporary china made movements,are ( in his words) " winding" better than many supposedly superior swiss made ones. As for 6497 movements,he says, that they are very good ultra reliable workhorse machines,and are a breeze to restore even if they are damaged to a certain point. He says that 6497 and all the similar breed of movements ,are an apprentice watchmaker's, first day in school course.
  10. Very nice piece.I like the blue dial lots. The back plate is superb . Enjoy it
  11. I dunno, just asking ,really. It would be very interesting ,I think, if Dieva ,state a clarification on it.( If they do care to...) Don't you think so?
  12. Hi, I 'd like to ask a couple of innocent questions. What makes those DIEVAS legal ? A royalties payment agreement with Panerai ,or there is no more patent exclusivity on behalf of the owner,(design etc)? As for the price, $ 520 is quite high,for a replica,that one can buy for a mere $ 200 to $ 220
