assasi9 Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 go to ioffer.com. he sell there under the name 'ufanta'. drop him a private message there inquiring about your order. in my previous experiences, he always responds within 24 hours. by the way, i have never actually ordered through his website. i usualy just get the item numbers through there and request them on ioffer for a discount. it has worked for me flawlessly 4 times. as a matter of fact i received an order from him yesterday!

jdavis Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Thank you, Assasi9. I have sent a message via ioffer as you suggested. I sincerely hope my experience will be as successful as yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randomfunk Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 (edited) After messaging assasi9 about his GTXL when he received it, I ordered one of those and a B&R at the start of this year, received the B&R today and for the price (about $76 shipped) am pretty happy with it. He posted the Chopard later than this one so hopefully should be here soon. edit: ooh, my 1st post here, Hi!

jdavis Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 i hope it works out for you. he seems like a legit guy. I received correspondence from Ufanta this morning. He appears willing to take what ever steps are necessary to insure my satisfaction. You can't ask for more than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 (edited) Interesting note about the 111h I received. It doesn't have a recessed cannon pinion. I hadn't noticed at the time of the post, but the pinion is the correct height. Check it out on my picture in the post above.

llsteve80 Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 What flea market is Chicago sells reps? I used to get them at the one in franklin park and sometimes alsip. Don't know if anyones around there anymore selling though. Had to be 8 years ago last I went... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest madstal Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 One thing I noticed yesterday in his FAQ's, that shipping is $20 PER watch. Sounds like they ship each one you order seperately "because of customs". Not sure the deal is still that great, if you figure $80 for 4 watches, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

assasi9 Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 just get the item number off the website then go to ioffer where he sells under the name 'ufanta'. there you can wheel and deal with him about combining shipping and getting extra crap like bands for free.

Yup, got my chopard and B&R for $150ish for the two delivered separately to the UK, posted the B&R earlier(did notice after someone mentioned about it on RG that the back says 01-94 instead of 92 and it says 'Miliary Spec' but for the price and the fact I dont wear my watches face down all that often I'm still happy) but hes the Chopard on the Hirsch rally strap (any excuse to play around with my budget light tent ) Edited January 30, 2008 by randomfunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assasi9 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 i like your taste! i dont have the photo skills you have, but i love that watch/band combo. here is mine on BOB straps imitation hirsch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confused69u Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 sweet watches, how is the PAM 111h? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assasi9 Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 apparently it is a sub $100 111h which doesnt need a pinion mod. in my opinion thats a steal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 hmm what is the catch? No canon pin mod required same movement that we get (asian) ohh and did i notice a swan neck? not a bad deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that all it needs is a superlume and double AR to become somewhat similar to the ones the dealers sell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I just got a B&R from there too it arrived today,love esp the strap, one slight problem, there is no lume whatsoever on the blue version I got. Apart from from that looks pretty amazing.

doc savage Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Try Silix. He's got $40-60 bargains. From misspellings (always raises a red flag when marques are misspelt. Even Paul doesn't do that), to the fact that the watch varieties are deceptively written out. You would click on say, Franck Muller (33), and instead of 33 models, as indicated, there would be 4. This screams scam site to me. Actually very savvy, in a low-end kind of way. Instead of Globalreplica ripping people off for $800 for Italian movements, a quickie scam site would do better to lure people in with very small pricetags, and then beat it. I see POTR already says they're gone baby gone...hmm. The way the Ufanta site is laid out, you have to click on a subcategory under each watch brand to see all the stuff available, like "1 Sub Dial, 2 Sub Dial , 2 Timer, 3 Sub Dial, 4 Sub Dial, Crazy Hours, Tourbillon." There are actually 42 Franck Muller models listed. Ufanta sells some pretty crazy fantasy watches, I didn't know Cartier made 54 different chronos?

Pix Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Ufanta is a dealer on iOffer. I don't know him so I won't comment. But his cheap prices also draw my attention in the past.

doc savage Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm thinking of buying that $40 Roadster, along with something quartz for the ladyfriend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wordsmith419 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm looking at the 111h myself personally. If I order, I'll let you know how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olga Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Well the 111 is not exactly what the other dealers are selling. First the crystal is glass not sapphire. Second, although it does have a swan neck regulator, it is not dagger shaped. Finally, Panerai is not engraved on the movement, it is printed.

Ztech Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 So any more feedback/experiences about this dealer? Just out of curiosity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
