rmcsherry Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I've found a very unusual (fairly cheap) rep that I've been after for years, but the site is Turkish and I've not got a clue how to go any further - online translations are few and far between for Turkish/English! The main site is http://www.hemalhemsat.com/, if anybody can help me to translate it and place an order, I'd be very grateful! Alternatively, if anybody lives in Istanbul, I'm sure the watch I'm after is probably in a street market for half the price!! Please PM me if you can help, I'll do my best to return the favour one day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 What watch is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmcsherry Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 A cheap and nasty Graham, but it's not as cheap or nasty as the one I was wearing earlier, so I thought I'd give it a go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Except the reason why these Turkish sites can advertise watches no one else have is because they don't have them either. Rule of thumb: If the Asian's don't sell it then it's not for sale. Ken Edit to add, Those Graham's don't look cheap and nasty to me, if you know what I mean.

rmcsherry Posted October 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 (edited) The watch itself has several major flaws - the placement of everything on the dial (the dial looks smaller, everything is squashed), the case back is terrible (and is not screwed to the case), the crown guard is the wrong shape, the case appears to be brushed whilst the bezel is polished- the list goes on. The quartz movemnt doesn've bother me; I've got a couple of Miyota reps that are as reliable as any watch I've ever had. The sub dial features can be accurate to manual movements, too! If anybody can help me out, I'd appreciate it - I might try to register and hope for the best, although I suppose my preference would be to find a reliable dealer / English site to use. Cheers for your comments. Edited October 17, 2007 by rmcsherry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
