I had the same problem with two nice watches: one DRSD/MBW from MBK and the other IWC Ingy automatic (both are 2836 ETA). Both are perfect besides that. I gave the watches to a watchsmith (a good one) and he fixed both, I had it back the day after. Now, both change date at midnight sharp.
This might be easier than all the hassle involved in shipping the watch back and forth to china.
Good luck!
Looks great, the pearl is nice and that The Zigmeister's lume is stunning. it's almost like a flashlight. The "out of the box" lume is not great in my BB.
Again, I might be lucky (at least with this watch), but the movement and chronos work fine. I have for about 4-5 months and wear it quite often. Maybe a wrist shot will convince you that it is a beauty after all.
I was looking for the same watch for my wife and could'nt find any. Josh has a TAG Link for ladies with diamond markers and MOP dial but no chronos, and i am not sure about the quality. The size also is not the same.
if you find something please let me know. Buying a rep for my wife is a good reason to get one for me too..
Thanks Carl, probably you are right, although the dial and bracelet are not bad in this one, but I guess in Josh's Noob it is the same with a better date font and crown
You are right friends, he bought the watch in the same shop you are talking about, costed about 7500 Bat (~$220). The guy claimed it has ETA 2836 movement. They have there also nice AP offshore (Panda dial?) with SS bracelet for about $400, a very "heavyweight" watch and I think some PP. The prices are quite fix , not like in the PatPong market.
A friend of mine returned from bangkok and brought me this DRSD from MBK. Looks like a "MBW rep" to me. I wonder what the rolex experts think about it.
Hi Chieftang,
Since you mentioned ARing SMP, here is an example. Outstanding, IMO.
Sorry that the pic quality is lower after "condensing" it to ~ 200 kb. The higher quality looks even better.

I know that this LINK comes w/o AR but there's a new version of this same watch with saphire case back and an improved bracelet clasp that has double AR, so it's not total "fantasy". Anyway, it makes the watch look totally different . I attach some wrist shots for Lani and those who like this modd.
