Does anyone have any bad/good experience with deliveries to Cyprus from China?

are there any known customs issues with deliveries to Cyprus from China?

anyone?

I am planning a business trip to Hong Kong in a couple of days - is there any specific location where I can find good quality replicas over there? Would also appreciate any other suggestions/comments on what to do in HK and places to visit. Thanks!

thanks guys! I'll go for 21J...

Wanted to pull the trigger on this one from Andrew's:

but have my doubts on the Asian 21J movement. Dear experts - how good/bad is it comparing to ETA 2836-2 Asian clone? (I remember seeing somewhere on this forum that there are no more PAM092 Swiss ETA 2836-2 on the market).

I understand both 21J and ETA 2836-2 versions have exactly the same case - so no differences there, right?

Thanks for all your advises and comments...

RobbieG,

Nice looking Ulisse Nardin! Is that a rep or a gen? If a rep - who is selling this one?

PS: Never mind, just noticed your signature with the gen MMD mentioned. Nice one! I wish they could make a nice rep of it... (or of any UN - there are no decent reps of UN at all)...

the only major giveaway for this rep is indeed the "gold" color of the RG insert on the bezel. I had an idea to take it out and to bring it to a goldsmith to make it really RG-plated - does anyone have an idea whether this will work? Is it possible at all to take out the "RG" insert off of the bezel? Are the hexagonal black screws for real or are they just glued in?

Found this nice-looking watch on PT's website:

Anyone knows whether this is a fantasy model or replica of some existing model of FM's line? I couldn't find anything on FM's website - so apparently it's not from their current collection, but maybe from previous one?

The problem is not with the chrono. The problem is with the running seconds...of the watch itself, no chrono.

Francisco.

yes, that's understood. But is it ADVISEABLE not to run chronos all the time (i.e. keep the chronos stopped for most of the time)? Or it really doesn't matter in this case?

Excellent job!

so does it make any sense NOT to use chrono functions if the gear is running all the time anyway? I mean would it potentially harm the watch if the chronos are running all the time?

Just got an email from Andrew that he cannot ship by normail Airmail to NL anymore (says airmail cannot exit China) - he is only able to ship EMS and FEDEX. Any suggestions on how to handle these? as far as I know the customs office in NL checks all the shipments by EMS/FEDEX... And Andrew does not take any customs risk to NL or BE...

forgive me asking but... are all of the 3 chronos fully functioning on this watch? Or is it only running seconds @12 and the rest of the chronos are faux?

Spent quite a few minutes last week at AD comparing my rep. Corum the the gen. one (the blue color one). The only part that is visually different is the date/day wheel (which is black on the rep i.o. blue on gen + the font is quite different (although the gen font is not pretty at all, I must say

Anyway, was wondering if it's possible to buy the gen date/day wheel for this watch and how much would it cost. AND whether it would fit the mechanism?

it's either a rep or a gen screwed up in production - look at the missing black marking next to the date window (just to the right of it)...

Mine

then can you recommend the dealer you've bought it from, maybe? ;-)

Me too!

Is this T3 rep made of Ti? I've been looking for Ti T3 rep for ages, couldn't find one...

I've had my both eyses lasered in januari 2006 in a private clinic in Rotterdam (Netherlands).

L - 3,75 r -4.00

It was a lasik procedure. Results: both eyes 0.0

left eye : eaglevison 150% best result possible

right eye: 100 %

The operation takes 5 minutes and went with no problem at all.

Gerco, can you tell the name of this clinic, and maybe their website?

Was it ever replicated?

Another great one from PT. He is indeed a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.
