flex Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 My friend is a japanese, he can help order for me in advance. And I can pick some watches next week - what would you recommend to get off here. Most are China stuff it seems.. etayahonpo.jp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flex Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 nothing in particular, perhaps a double-red or LV? http://www.etayahonpo.jp/?pid=7625325 http://www.etayahonpo.jp/?pid=7626130 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 The hour indices of the double red are awfully yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 nothing in particular, perhaps a double-red or LV? I am not a big fan of the LV (gen or rep) & the other link you posted is a red Sub (not a 'Double-Red' Seadweller). Honpo's Sub is not terrible, but nothing special either. I think you can get a similar or better watch from most of the collectors here & they tend to be more reliable than Honpo. For my money, Honpos best watches are his 7750-powered Daytonas with asymmetrical pushers (Same as above but without 'Daytona' text) Or his 6263 with brown (faux 'faded' black) faded subdials I do not believe that any of our regular collectors list any of those watches on their sites. But be warned that Honpo has a gained a somewhat notorious reputation from members who have dealt with him before (I had a brief email exchange with him & then he vanished). Buyer beware. However, if you are interested in vintage Daytonas, 'DW' is the best of the best. Use the Search feature at the top of any page for info, or upgrade your membership to Supporter & PM me. IF YOU QUOTE ANY PART OF MY POST, PLEASE REMOVE ALL OF THE PICTURE LINKS SO THEY DO NOT GET REPRODUCED OVER & OVER AGAIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 If you want to go the other extreme as far as I know they are the only one offering a PAM 194 (47mm 1000m) with a titanium case. All the collector offerings are in SS. I do know at least 3-4 members including myself who would kill for that one. If you really have the opportunity to do this you should take a careful look. They do tend to have a few exclusive offerings. No one has ever matched their first runs of the 2892/3's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted July 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I can't find any special PAM in there...most collectors offer better PAM with better dials, panerai engraving on the back and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I don't have the time to search and I don't speak Japanese but it is a 47mm automatic and the caseback says titanium. It is possible they stopped selling it. If you point me in the direction of the Panerai section I will show you which one I am talking about. In truth if you are tending toward Rolexes this beast is most likely not for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flex Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 update - my japanese friend has been exchanging emails with them for abt 3 weeks or so - they provided a bank account number and asked him to t/t the money there - my friend asked if one of the itrm is really a swiss movment - they nver responded afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We exchanged a few emails, but when I asked a question, all communications (from Honpo's end) stopped. I would have loved to purchase the 3 Daytonas I posted above, but I do not think he is very reliable. Buyer beware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronus Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 be careful, I was scammed over 500$ by Etaworldgoods who sold his products! Here's a link to what happened to slay that I had filed. I have no idea if this etaworldgoods character is still around as he was the representative for the English-speaking world. The personal details are probably all out of date now, if indeed they were real to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 omfg... i just spoke with him. i will be meeting him this sat If you mean Honpo, you might suggest that he improve his customer service skills & contact the Admin to discuss his becoming a collector here. With roughly 13,000 rep buyers currently on board, it would be to everyone's benefit were he to make his wares available (on a reliable basis) to RWG members. I know I would be 1 of the 1st in line to purchase 1 of his 7750-powered asymmetrical 6239 Daytonas (pics on 1st page of this thread).
