Adrian B Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Ive just placed an order for a PRO HUNTER with Trusty Time (http://www.trustytime01.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_5&products_id=9961) who I've bought from (and been very happy) before but noticed the same watch with SSOLIDSWISS.CD offer the same watch for TWICE as much - https://www.solidswiss.cd/rolex-gmt-master-ii-pro-hunter-dlc-gold-black-ceramic.html. The pictures looks better on the SOLIDSWISS site (and a more accurate gold coloured outer dial) but can anyone tell me if SOLIDSWISS are better watches? Ive been happy with TrustyTime?

Genuine new RWG user who has bought from Trusty Time and looking for reassurance i shouldn't have bought from SS - glad to hear they aren't to be trusted and my order is in good hands Hi mate. Welcome to the forum. There is plenty to learn here, two years in and I haven't finished class 101 yet. Some really decent guys and plenty of Brits, myself and Ssteel included, though we are both expat. There is an old rule of life that if something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Many scam sites use pictures of genuine watches. You might or might not get some POS for your money, but you won't get what they show. Like most watch enthusiasts you probably have favourite companies and designs. Use the search function to find and read all posts on any replica you are considering. Stick rigidly to TD's, they can get any watch available. If they can't get it neither can a none TD site because it does not exist. Lots claim to be Swiss built. Take a moment to think about how the Swiss operate and ask yourself if the Swiss authorities would allow illegal counterfeits of Swiss watches to be made in Switzerland. Never going to happen and a sure sign of a scam. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gasebah Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I would encourage you to buy a strap for this watch because I can assure you that the bracelet especially the clasp will not look good after a very short time. Daily wear will soon scrape the PVD off. The question is if you really have to lash out 70 pounds for a Nato just to have the Pro Hunter logo on it. They can be had a fraction and in very good quality. You could try Maratac or gnomon for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian B Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Thanks for the feedback and i will certainly check out the suggestions for the alternative NATO strap sources. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Phoenix straps made the original RAF pull through straps and the MOD NATO's, they are still in business and still make the straps. They are a little thinner than some of the more modern style, but not as thin as Chinese eBay straps. I'm just giving you this for information really. I have dozens of NATO straps in all thicknesses. It's fun to change them around. If your heart is set on the genuine PROHunter strap, get one. On the other hand for the same price you could have say black, grey, striped, a bright colour in webbing and a nice leather NATO as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denimhead Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Eddy at 'timefactors' has some of the best G10 military straps. With also a new buckle design which differs from the others available Cheers DH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats great advice - thanks - ill probably do that and go for a few non PH Nato straps - might even look out for a RUBBER/PVD buckle strap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sogeha Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 Don't forget a three colour James Bond pull through. Can't be a British watch guy without one of those in the box :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickFlorida Posted September 15, 2016 Report Share Posted September 15, 2016 If the OP is admitting the first site is cheaper for same watch than I fail to see how a spammer would post it. But, I am surprised at what they try to pull. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got my PRO Hunter (Safari) in the end and its great. The strap was ok (as usual) but I bought a NATO strap which was much better. It keeps great time (Swiss). Very pleased and saved me £18,000 that the GEN costs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
