8o8 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 how come both pictures from the 2 sellers are identical? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 probably factory photos... dealers often don't take themselves photos...but recive them directly from the factory... and if dealers have a deal with the same factory they have same pics!

artoero Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 HI I think that he took the original photo from the site from Ken (etaworldgoods), I dont think this is the way to trade. The 187 is only available in Japan i believe. artoero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarks Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hey all, I was informed by Ken that the pic on aspire is taken from www.etaworldgoods.com without proper authorisation from neither Ken nor watchhonpo and here is what he has to say about this: "I just found out from the rwg.cc (under topic title "PAM187 at Aspire") and also (topic title "PAM187 1000M Submersible") that some seller is using our original photos on there web sites (http://www.aspire-eshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=992). The pam187 is developed by us and this picture should not be on other sites other then our watchhonpo and etaworldgoods. Please notified to all of the members that this seller is a potential fraud. We hate to see buyers getting swindle by sellers." From my experience, Ken is a very standup bloke with top quality products and I understand his concerns about other sellers "stealing" pictures from his website to sell goods to other people. Ken and Watchhonpo have placed high quality standards on their watches and they stand by their products very strongly. They do not wish anyone who are NOT affliated with them to misrepresent their products by stealing pictures and posting on their own websites, misleading the members of rwg who think that the watches might have derived from Ken and watchhonpo. Plus, from what I can gather, Paul @ Aspire hasn't been exactly a trustworthy dealer. So I would advice all of you to proceed with caution. If you do have any further questions or quiries, kindly please email Ken via etaworldgoods.com website. Thanks for your attention, Quarks. P/s. I am a customer of Ken and I am just relaying the message to you folks. What I said above is my own opinion on the matter, exclusive of the exact quotation from Ken.

Watchmeister Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 What makes you think Paul will actually get it. He may but he has posted pictures of things he never got before. Take the fourth edition 1950 (i.e. the right one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the fourth edition 1950 (i.e. the right one). Well, one doesn't have to think hard to figure that abt Paul... What I do know, is that Jay (silixprime) is getting his stocks pretty soon, and will keep me posted on it... Btw kruzer00, gotten your MONSTER already??

Take the fourth edition 1950 (i.e. the right one). he had the 4. edition, but afair its sold out! those engraved movements are very rare now, i dont think they are being produced anymore!

Pre V Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Posted this at TRC, thought you RWG'ers would like a peek at the new Arrival of the Chronozilla. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Very nice pics. It is nice to see that you and Quarks have different serial numbers. Maybe you two should compare if you ever get together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pre V Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) Thanks kruzer00! Yeah, maybe we'll get a group pic up really soon! How's your 187 coming along? Can't wait to see yours.

exper Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 That's Hot ! Another one of Ken's ? Planning to get one of those beasties soon as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I am waiting on tracking number from Ken as well as the mystery man in Shanghai. Something has to show up. By then we will all be buying the 7753 version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre V Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) As promised (for you kruzer00) Fresh images hot off the press... Turns out that a weighing scale is nearby and Quarks and I decided to weigh these beasters up! Quarks's PAM 187 sennsi's PAM 187 As you can see for yourselves, these PAM 187s which I initially thought was around 170grams turns out to be more than 200 grams in weight! No wonder I've been getting wrist-aches these few days lugging this PAM187 around. Some more group shots!

Watchmeister Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Well now I know how you guys afford this expensive hobby. Not everyone has a digital scale "lying around". They look great and the weight doesn't surprise me. With that size who needs brass knuckles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean but that weighing scale is strictly for cooking Sure would love to return back to the good ole days of "you know what" but these days, just ain't worth the risk + sanity is much more appreciated these days.

Watchmeister Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 I appreciate the sentiment. I miss those "good ole days." Sold out for a suit and fancy watches. What can I say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMAN Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 That is an AWESOME watch. Thanks for posting the pictures! Big bucks for not being a 7753, I can wait till Christmas...JOSHUA please have this available before hand!!!!!!! Later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 And now the mystery is whether the one from Shanghai ever comes in. Starting to lose hope on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Watchandpen Posted March 28, 2006 Report Share Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) You mean kcabesac don't you? Here are the pics from Ken's site where Quarks bought the watch: http://www.etaworldgoods.com/panerai1.htm As Quarks mentioned elsewhere, Ken is acting as one (or the) international rep of Watchonpo so stay tuned to his site. His prices are high but the product is good. He is relatively new and just gearing up so he will be adding stuff. He currently has limited selection but is very courteous. He does not take pp though. But in fairness, it has been quite a while since Watchonpo inventory was available using pp. Ken is good. I bought 2 of these from him and the hands of 2 subdials fell off one of them during delivery. He replaced the latter - but the replacement suffered the same problem (albeit only one hand this time). I then had it fixed by my local repairer for £20 and Ken deducted this off my next purchase which was a Daytona (with seconds sub at 6 o'clock). His prices are not too high and are actually at times pretty competitive. Edited March 28, 2006 by Watchandpen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exper Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 Yes, this watch is beast. I might do a comparison shot with the Arktos sometime. Any chance of those shots ? the Arktos has arrived and im really liking it but decided to wait for the 187 till next month (7 new watches this month) and its driving me insane Keep looking at it and imagining it in 47mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarks Posted March 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 A few shots of 187 vs Arktos and more.... enjoy! (Pics taken by sennsi) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
