redwatch Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Just out of curiosity, did anyone ever buy one of the Cartier Santos Frankens that Josh and King are selling? The one that's around $1.5k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I tried twice but my dealer wouldn't sell it to me because the movement is not worthy. He took the watch to his watchsmith and the "gen" movement is just a regular second hand ETA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 That sucks! I'm not really that surprised, but I was really hoping that this was a legit piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 The pics make it seem like its a legit piece, but I guess that's to be expected in this world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Here's what he said: "this is the second hand 2892 movement ,the factory just change the rotor and sell the watch over $1500" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 interesting (and as you've said, not too surprising). i'm curious -- has anyone bought the cheaper new "ultimate" version? i've been holding out on buying it to hear a review of that version (along with waiting on the ploprof to combine an order). deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwatch Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Haven't seen the Ultimate version? Which one is it? I keep kicking myself for selling the one that I had (an original Rocket Dial) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltatahoe Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 there are a couple different variations available: on a bracelet, with ETA 2824 and with an asian movement. let me know if you end up going for it deltatahoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
