  1. That is why everyone asks, is that a fake?
  2. I recently acquired my first A7750 powered watch. I wear it from 8 in the morning to around 8 in the evening. Normal sedantry desk job. Every morning I get up the watch is dead between 5-7 AM. I don't wind the watch as it has the revolving Rotor problem (the rotor moves when I wind the watch) and I was advised not to wind it to avoid stripping some gears that are failing to disengage. is this normal? will service help with the power reserve? what do you guys get out of your watch when you don't wind? do you wind it regulalry? Thanks
  3. remember you might have to spend the 120 even on the ETA. The ones we buy are not always upto par and need servicing. So do the math
  4. Waiting for a package from China to USA. Been a while. This is what the USPS says. Any idea when I can expect it? Tracking Number : XXXXXXXXXX Service(s): Registered Mail
  5. The ETA should fit without any problems. Keep in mind you can pick up a new 1911 for around 1600 now and then, does buying and replacing make sense?? The day/date font is crisper and slightly different on ETA. Look around the board for comparison pictures.
  6. Know of any rep friendly small shop in NoVA or DC. Needed to swap movement and Cape Cop the hands a bit. Thanks
  7. Heard from King that it will be a while (June End), they are working on a Panerai that is taking up time.
  8. I tried and can't seem to pull it Do I need open the screws or something on the clasp??
  9. It is the 1911 Discovery. Halfway down you will see the post by rubik888 Thanks
  10. Thank you alvaniado for saying something that makes sense. The idea is to be good at what you do, how to do and what to do, is your choice, hire qc, charge 10% more, penalize suppliers. Don't wait for competition to fail survive. I hope your dealer makes it so big, kills the competition that he can hire some of the drop shippers as qc employees. That is how I know of business.
  11. Yikes.I am worried now since I did wind the watch with 2-3 good slow turns, maybe even 4-5. And today morning, before I read this email, I did wind it maybe 0.5 - 1 turns to see if the problem was still there, the rotor did not turn but the wind seemed a little stiff. I am worried the reversing gear might be damaged. What are the consequences and it worries me even more that the Meister is saying it can't be repaired
  12. I just got my first A7750 powered watch. Couldn't resist the Ebel 1911. When I wind the watch, I can feel the rotor move inside, Is it supposed to do that??? I just wound it like 2-3 times and stopped in order not to cause any damage. Thanks
  13. WOW. Can't rise upto good standards, so wait for them to fail and fall to yours. Thats a good one.
  14. They were selling the red/black for $1511. Couldn't convince the SO to let me pull the trigger, now looking at it back at 2400
  15. Very nice. Getting on the radar.
  16. are you talking about BTR?
  17. http://www.gemnation.com/watches/Ebel-1911-Discovery-Chronograph-1215890-15437.html $1511!!!!!!!
  18. The rep also has silver hand at 9. Get your date window observation. Nice catch. Look at By-Tor's earlier picture looks lighter gray. Maybe he can chime in. Agreed with the letter sizing. Crown look the same. Maybe eagle eyes can chime in.
  19. Just wondering if anyone has tried it? The site is is Chinese but there are agents that will buy and ship for you. I had a co-worker used an agent to have some chinese shoes shipped. I checked out the site and there are some amazing prices on rep watches!!
  20. I remember Tshaki saying it was the best rep out of the box.
  21. Looking at the other review pictures, looks like a lot of the issues raised here have been taken care off?
  22. This is the deal. The watch originally had 2824 , but I was sent a replacement of 2836 which is thicker and might be causing the problem What movement, and where, can I buy to replace the 2836 with something that would be a 2824 replacement. I am open to clones/seagull etc Thx
