Agree, A for America and E for Espana, Spain for Francisco. Perhaps I'm to much optimist, but I'm not very worried about CN and HK, who knows? Factory in CN and a warehouse in HK... It's close... Congo or Azerbaidjan should be scary but CN and HK?

Is it CN for the black and HK for the blue?

Hi, my name is Marty and I'm a watchaohlic... Yeah, welcome to the obsession dome!!

Yep, no surprise it comes easily.

There is a small open section. It is necessary to make lever with the point of a screwdriver, as simple as that

Here are pics of the gen and the rep we are looking. The crown is to little , the pearl not accurate and the insert is misaligned. Have a look too to the hour hand length... It's definitely a rep, not bad at all.

I'm talking about my full size from this seller, the design of the horse on the case back is so bad that I'm tracking another one. Except that, the rep is good.

Well, I don't know what to say... I really understand you're p....d off, but I'm sure you'll receive your watch. That's ioffer indeed, so as you said there is no surprise. Except maybe for one fact: that's a very good rep and our trusted sellers doesn't offer it for now.

E****watches. I bought my SMP pro full size from this seller, he is reliable. Good com, very fast and honest. I told him that I never saw a perfect centred pearl like the one he shows in his pics, he answered me it was only for the pic. Honest no? I received a very good rep, same as the best one of our sellers! I was ready to buy his "boy size" and had a long chat with him, the medium size is as you said more accurate for Hev and pearl. On the genuine medium, the pearl is not centred in the triangle not the same for the full size... The bad point is the caseback which is really bad!

Agree...

The pics done by my webcam are very awfull so I post only these till I find out my real camera. Sorry. The SS strap is very strong, much better than my blue SMP or my SMP chrono, caseback is also better replicated than the two I already own. The serial number is engraved. The lone thing I don't like is the crystal, but the geniune is perhaps the same, I never tried a black one to an AD.

Too bad, but you know I bought it 27th november and got it the 2 of this month, I must confess that I'm a patient guy. If you really want this watch, you should wait a little bit more and in the meantime email Angela twice a day... I don't know where I've hidden my f*** camera so I'll post bad pics again with my webcam in about an hour.

I forgot... 60 clicks only.

Angela told me that there is no tracking info if she send it by first class airmail, I'm not used with US mail but I believed her, those who ordered staight from factory have the TN, no?

GUESS WHAT... I've got it!! Be cool folks, the watch is exactly like shown in pics, awesome. I opened it, it's an ETA 2824-2 inside. Good surprise the mov is silver with a very well done decorated rotor. Hev and pearl are accurate. Dial as expected is almost perfect. No AR as written above. Insert is a little bit misaligned about 1mm. Lume on the hands and pearl is perfect, but not enough on the markers. So go for it... I'm not home, so pics will come tomorrow.

Yes I did for two of them, they replied me that watch was impossible to source again. When I'll open it we''ll see if they were wrong. Anyway 2 of us already got their watch, so Angela looks reliable. The black SMP is proposed by our dealers at 228$, lower quality, and blue SMP 238$. I got it for 225+shipping. Not sure cheaper is possible

HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS!!! My watch arrived yesterday to my office, it tooks 14 days from Angela's to France. But I'm on holyday now, so I can't see it before 01/06. I can't wait, I'll certainly ask a friend to bring it to me before.

Well, if I understand at this moment, no one can be sure that we buy real ti on our reps. except, as Francisco pointed, with a weight check of the watch.

You're welcome! I'm happy that was a real offer, but I still don't have mine I wasn't the first to see it, I just took the risk first.

So gentlemen, That was a really good find wasn't it?

Thanks for this first pic very expected, as you can see... Angela told us the truth: Insert is aligned, the pearl looks almost flat and the hev is right. I feel better. This must be the best "out of the box" black SMP. Does that means that the myth of the-old-factory-closed was real and back in business?

Hi my friend, Nice to read you there! My watch isn't arrived yet, I seriously need back up here... So, mirror image, as said by Angela, is the word?

I told a member that I'll put some pics of the rotor of my SMP, here they are. Sorry for the bad quality, I took them with a webcam, but we can see that the mov and especially the rotor are very well replicated. On the Rotor the caliber engraved is 3303. And the geniune:
