landwomble Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Just seen this lot: http://www.siswatch727.com/index.do Looks like for $160 plus UK shipping I could build myself a nice homage watch. Anyone seen these cases, or had any stuff from these guys? How good are the reps? Would I be pleased with the result? Not built a watch before and really fancy having a fantasy homage one...

tanya Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Great cases. PVD is a bit too dark and shiney but the polished steel is very very nice. Their service is superb and they take paypal too. about 8-10 days from order to door. Cases are about as good as Davidsen at 1/3 the price. Crownguards are actually pretty decent as well. Only modding i had too do was to grind down the long tube a touch so the T crown sat nearer to the case. I have been told their hands are very nice as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houndoggie Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 I highly recommend Getat Watch. They are a top notch dealer of homages and the straps are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Excellent source.....I've bought cases and movements and hands from them! Service, communications and shipping is top notch! Buy with confidence! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landwomble Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks guys. What are they like compared to Jackson tsei? They all seem really pretty cheap, are they as good as they sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landwomble Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 ...also, what's the lume like, particularly on the sandwich dials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 One problem that i had with a case that i beleive came from this site was that it would not take very thick dials that we may take out of a rep pam from out main dealers the topic is here of how it was modded to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Thanks guys. What are they like compared to Jackson tsei? They all seem really pretty cheap, are they as good as they sound? i think they are very similiar if not identical to jackson. the lume is fair, nothing special.

trailboss Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Tat can now supply any watch with V10 lume from GlowInc (very good stuff). This will eventualy become his std lume if all goes to plan. The straps on these realy are outstanding. Folk have bought the watch just for the strap. Not sure on that dial issue. I havn't heard it being a problem as yet but it could easily be so. Tat has a range of dials and the ones from Jackson fit as well. He also has some very well priced MVTs inc a hand wound PVD one.

specialvat Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 My watch came on fri, wrong case from what I ordered. Quick to respond to my problem and they have apologised for the mix up, hopefully they can just send me the right case then I can ship back the wrong one. Dont wont to send the whole watch back to HK, I m sure I can manage changing them over. Hope so anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stukov Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Did anyone tested the water resistance of a watch from getat or from jacksontse? Results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Did anyone tested the water resistance of a watch from getat or from jacksontse? Results? The two 1st watches I got from them was good to 3ATM, these: but the first case leaked around the crystal! This: came out like this: But I'm very impressed on there response! Tat sent me a replacement rt away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landwomble Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 I'd be very interseted in this too. Mine arrives next week and was planning on greasing caseback and crown but would be interested in results if anyone else has already done this. I'm not confident in my ability to remove the movement to test on an empty case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not confident in my ability to remove the movement to test on an empty case! I have two more complete watches coming next week! I'll test them and let you folks know.....you should start thinking of doing some work on your watches......at least a little bit at a time! Getat watches are cheap, so it's affordable to mess up! That's why I buy their watches......to play around with! Goodluck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star69 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 i also can confirm - DSN dial, crystal and T-crowns fit in the Getat-case without problem. cheers, Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
