plaifender Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 still no comment where to get this baby? Where to get it?? Any trusted dealer will have this watch. In case you're wondering about my comment to change the title of this thread. this watch is NOT a 3789.. it's a 3799. On the dealer sites look for 3799.. although some of the sites have this listed as the 3789 (completely wrong) The 3789 is a 44mm topgun with no rattrapante button. The 3799 in this thread is a 46mm TopGun model with rattrapante button (non-functioning). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikman Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Can anyone tell me the difference between the 2 3799 models on Josh's site? There is a $130 difference but the description is pretty much identical. http://www.1-pc8838.com/pliot-series-c-106_214.html Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwi_brad Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 May I ask who you went through to order this? I am a massive Top Gun fan, and have been admiring this watch since it was announced. I see a few dealers selling it, but this one looks perfect.

Disclosing a dealer is often a matter of personal choice.. If you're intent on getting this watch.. start researching dealers on the forum. They're all trusted enough to be authorized by Watch Nutz like us, so no worries there. This model will be offered by ALL dealers. some more expensive than others.. some faster service than others... some better communication than others... All factors when choosing a dealer..

statikman Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ok, mine has arrived today and it looks pretty good. The stitching on the carbon strap would be a dead giveaway and the red paint on the hands looks a bit too red. Anyone know if the faux pusher is supposed to be push able? Mine is now stuck depressed. It went in like butter and just stayed. Suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went in like butter and just stayed. Suggestions? Weird.. I thought it was supposed to be spring loaded.. but non-functional... Better pm someone with better knowledge of this model Good luck!

statikman Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I guess there is no spring in mine. I assume the potential water damage issues are huge now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I guess there is no spring in mine. I assume the potential water damage issues are huge now. you assume correct.. but to begin with you should never take a chronograph into water without having it waterproofed yourself. Regardless of whether or not it has a faux pusher.. chrono replicas and water... don't mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statikman Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 I fixed it. There is a spring but it's pretty weak. I took the CB off with duct tape, a rubber ball after gooning the back pretty good with needle nose pliers. I pushed the pusher out and it is OK if you sort of halfway depress it. As soon as you push it all the way it clicks and stays in. I'll have it looked at when I send it to Rob for a service. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then i'll will change it for you! Not sure.. but maybe you can't change it because your not platinum. Just go to the first post of the thread click on "edit" then on the "Full Editor" button and you can change the title. If you don't have that option then just ask Redwatch or another mod to change the title for you I know i've been adamant about this.. but it's a shame that the wrong model number is in this thread title when it's SUCH a popular thread. It propagates wrong information. I appreciate your thread though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aurtus Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 sorry guys...just confirming is this the watch everyone is referring to: http://www.yourtrustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=30_191&products_id=7963 Is is listed with the wrong model number?

plaifender Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 sorry guys...just confirming is this the watch everyone is referring to: http://www.yourtrust...roducts_id=7963 Is is listed with the wrong model number? Read this thread.. and you'll see that I've asked 4 or 5 times for the author to change the title of this thread! You are absolutely correct.... One of the dealers has incorrectly named the model number.. which has now given us an excuse on the forum to f-up the model number. The most annoying part of this whole thing is that this watch has been around for at least 3 or 4 years.. and no one before EVER mixed up the names of the 3789 and the 3799..... Now no one seems to give a damn... RWG just isn't what it used to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLI355 Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I bought one of these off Trusty. After 2 weeks noticed it had stopped running. Pulled the crown out to wind it and then the crown wouldnt screw back in. Any thoughts on issues? Andrew has asked me to send it back which I'll do. Just dissapointed it's seemingly broken already. Also had the same issue as one of the other guys of the top left pusher getting stuck in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be good if you could also get the watch movement serviced while you are at it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
