kgbAgent Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hi folks Having spent the last 2 days scouring the forums (to the extent I didn't go to work today ) I am hopeful that someone can ease me past the untold browser windows I have open & point me in the right direction. I have bought 2 Portos in the last 2 years - one (white-face gold letters & dials) at MBK in Bangkok from a supposed good dealer that just stops completely after less than an hour. It was "fixed" by them on a flying visit 6 mths later that worked for about a day. The 2nd (white-face blue letters & dials) I bought 7 mths ago in Hanoi. It seems a good rep from what I can see of other pics I have seen on here with sapphire glass but it sporadically *STOPS* also ... ie 10 or so times a day & def overnite. As you can guess I love this watch & that brings me to my questions. I reside in Australia and it seems all the "necessities" incl purchase is from OS. What I want is the 2 watches with AR & the graphite fixes done before I receive the goodies. I am happy to pay in advance but as you can imagine I want to avoid sending the watches back and forth around the world several times. I expect that I need to pay more for this but figure that with the postal costs of import/export sev times's that it is worth the extra. Can any of you kind ppl make a suggestion ? Thanks for reading Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
