MY Tag Broke

Recommended Posts

NFleischer

i had just shown mine brand new shoes for this monster Tag Grand Carrera

and was loving the new look and weight. bingo- the watch dies. probably needs service. i have to say

i'm getting fed up lately with the track record of my new reps. almost all are having mov't problems- except the 21J cheapies!

Very frustrating. Both of my recent purchases from Sead needed fixing. The Graham just broke and the rotor fell off the BBK. The Graham was fixed two weeks ago and was supposed to have been mailed last Monday but hasn't arrived. :rolleyes: Like most dealers, you have to dig details out of him. At least he responds via PM quickly.

Damn - that's a shame. I must confess that I've avoided buying anything with a 7750 for that reason.

Is it hi-beat or low-beat and does it tick for a bit if you give it a tap?

its a low beat version- 21k or something.

the escapement wheel is broken- $150 for repair & service of mov't!!

BTW- this is the first 7750 that broke- i have tons of problems with the regular 'swiss etas' that you get with

the subs, DD, etc. they are all either clones and or rebuilt models. i have come to the conclusion that you CAN NOT

get a new eta anymore. the only person i might believe is BK- everyone else is selling the other stuff.

even the new WM9 YM has a ? SeaGull mov't. as far as i know

 

i'm seriously thinking of stopping the rep thing. my collection is complete (yet i keep buying).

i think i made a mistake- i cancelled that Hamilton chrono and ended up buying the new UN MaxiDiver

chrono from Josh. i had some credit from my other BROKEN REPS so i got a good deal at least.

i'll have to go to Betty Ford clinic to kick this habit!#?!!

When I visited office of one dealer in GZ, I saw boxes with ETA clones and with real ETA. I asked -"Why you have movements here, you are not a factory?" And their QC man said - "Sometimes we have watch, that can be equipped with clone or ETA, depend on what customer want, so, we install desired mov't in watch. Price is different , ofcourse".

So, they do have real ETAs. But even swiss ETA could be broken or get a problems, like any other mechanical things.Feel sorry for your Grand Carrera, it's gorgeous watch.

the trouble is even the 'real' etas are not really new. i think they have been

refurbished. the reps just break way more often then the gens. part of the deal for paying 5%

of the gen prices

yeah- there's a guy in my neighborhood. i think he's ripping me off though.

with 30+ reps there's always something for him to do. the more business i give him, the more he charges

me. he must see me coming. i'm by far the best customer!

A little piece of you

The little peace in me

Will die

For this is not america

 

Blossom falls to bloom

This season

Promise not to stare

Too long

For this is not a miracle

 

There was a time

A storm that blew so pure

For this could be the biggest sky

And I could have

The faintest idea

 

Snowman melting

From the inside

Falcon spirals

To the ground

So bloody red

Tomorrows clouds

 

A little piece of you

The little piece in me

Will die

For this is not america

 

There was a time

A wind that blew so young

For this could be the biggest sky

And I could have the faintest idea

 

This could be the biggest sky

This could be a miracle

This could be etc....
