MasterOfPuppets Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 The websites are there, every dealer has a thread with the website's name in it, cuz sometimes they need to change their domain so they post updates for everyone to see Read on, u'll get the hang of it in no time buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbjoer Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 At this stage I should warn you against the Portuguese chrono. The movement on this one is so bad that it ought not to be sold, but unfortunately the dealers still do, and I have yet to hear of any that warned a potential byer that it might be problematic. Other then that, I too agree with the statements above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIFF Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Forget about the double chrono top gun. There is no decent rep of that watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelizer Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 At this stage I should warn you against the Portuguese chrono. The movement on this one is so bad that it ought not to be sold, but unfortunately the dealers still do, and I have yet to hear of any that warned a potential byer that it might be problematic. +1 A good friend of mine actually had a "panda dial" Portu chrono die on him yesterday (after about a year).. So I would not go for that one personally.. The 3717 however is a great rep out of the box and with a service (and a couple of mods like ETA Day & Date Wheels, Chiefs double AR and maybe lume - if you fancy) you have keeper for sure! Oh, and welcome to RWG Meis. You have found the best place for this hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
