DD GT3 RD Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 (edited) ordered from trusty time. Came in under 2 weeks. Looks fantastic!!! The band is horrible as every has said, stiff as hell and leaves marks on the sides of my wrist. HKtan is on the way. The only thing im not sure about is when you shake the watch the internals are VERY loud. Is this normal? Does the authentic do this, if not a fast way to tell its a fake Edited October 18, 2011 by DD GT3 RD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffw69 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Nice! I got my Safari from Andrew last week, contemplating a strap from HKTan. Which strap did you order? I'm looking at honey brown with a whitish stitching. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Nice watch! Congrats! The internal sound is your Rotor autowinding!!! If not, you might need a new muffler.........Check Midas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD GT3 RD Posted October 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Nice! I got my Safari from Andrew last week, contemplating a strap from HKTan. Which strap did you order? I'm looking at honey brown with a whitish stitching. Jeff I just told him I want the strap that is most like the Authentic. So should be honey brown with white stripes. Nice watch! Congrats! The internal sound is your Rotor autowinding!!! If not, you might need a new muffler.........Check Midas! just louder than any watch I have. Havent heard a rotor that loud.

GoFaster Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Nice baby! About the Rotor, yes you Can hear it on the real deal but not like Asian Valjoux... Too noisy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 People service the rotor bearing to silence (or quiet) it ... don't use normal grease! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFaster Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Yes that's right! You can find a watchmaker who could reduce the sound...but all Valjoux I have bought have this Sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DD GT3 RD Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 thanks for the input about the sound. Definitely seems like the fastest way to tell the difference between authentic and rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFaster Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 yep DD ! That's right... In knowing that you have a lot of other flaws. When you have took few AP Gen in your hand, you must admit that the feeling is different! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
