Poor Lannister 0 Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Hi all! I just bought my first rep... Now i’m scrwd... First i would like to say thanks for all the excellent information and reviews on this forum. I’m very happy to have found this place right before i was about to order from a scam-seller. After i decided i needed a new watch i started looking online for some inspiration. My old watch is a $100 Pulsar which i’ve worn for like 5 years. Its totally beat up, scratches all over the glass and steel strap, even some of the hands of the smaller clock-thingys fell off and sometimes get stuck under the hour hand. I wanted something bigger for my bulky arms, something stylish and sophisticated looking but with class so i could wear it to clients and show some good taste Spending some time online it quickly came to light i wasn’t going to get ‘that’ with a genuine brand $100 watch... Somewhere along the way i found a link to some TAG watches with prices.. No way, not in ($)9000 years.. But those were some fine lookin’ watches. Long but interesting story short, found some (scam-)replica web shops and started looking for my new baby. Cautious as i am shopping online i found these forums looking for feedback about that store. Signed up and learned ‘the truth’.. Decided to trust you guys and the trusted dealers list.. So glad i did! After reading a dozen of general threads and those about my favorite Tag, the Carrera Calibre 36 i decided to order it from TSWatchltd. This is the one i ordered (he personally recommended this version a couple of time on these forums): http://www.tswatchlt...hronograph.html And here she is! Damn sexy! (iPhone 4S pictures. Sorry for dusty straps, hard to clean) First impression Whats that smell? Hahaha the rubber strap has a strong scent to it.. (still has). But no, that was not my first impression. “Saweeeeeeet!” was more like it. Perfect size, awesome look, cool but elegant and a nice finish. Doesn’t look like a cheap replica but what do i know? Every function works. Overall i’m very excited and so far exceeded my expectations! TSWatch and shipping Like i said, i found TSWatch on the trusted dealers list and liked the line-up and prices. Just like some other dealers there is EU shipping service available and thought to give it a try. - Ordered and payed by CC on 2013-08-19 (yes the whole wedding store thing is valid) - Shipped (to UK) 2013-08-19 - Received (Holland) 2013-09-03 A. Awesome service, fast shipping, prefect packaging! B. Would’ve like TrackTrace from UK to EU shipping though. Conclusion Very happy to have found this place, since joining i’m looking around these forum every day for my next precious. As i said, i’m scrwd, this stuff is addictive, I wont say you people haven't warned me.. Paying $75 shipping (with EU service) on a $130 watch made me realize i should’ve bought 2 watches. Unfortunately, when i ordered it, i thought having 1 watch will be sufficient.. When reading along this forums i encountered many times people make a big deal out of someones first post... Hope i won’t get flamed..! Regards! Edited September 12, 2013 by Poor Lannister Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anjunabeats 0 Posted September 12, 2013 Does the plates move? Seconds one on the right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poor Lannister 0 Posted September 12, 2013 Plate? "1/10th sec. precision"? Yes all 3 plates rotate simultaneously with top left knob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OLDBLOKE74 6,891 Posted September 12, 2013 Take care . More than one watch in a package attracts more customs attention in my experience - maybe scanning I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poor Lannister 0 Posted September 20, 2013 Could someone please tell me what the 'indicator' at the 9 o'clock position means? Some sort of power indicator? It has been going up since the day i got it.. Hope it doens't explode and blows off my hand when it reaches the top.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soopah Spy 0 Posted September 27, 2013 That indicator is likely a Power Reserve, which you do not normally see working on a Quartz watch. Interesting. (On an automatic self-winding watch, the Power Reserve indicates how much mainspring power is remaining before the watch stops running. When it gets low, you either wear it, or wind it.)

simmy 0 Posted October 1, 2013 Think this is the same as mine i love mine apart from one of the pins has broken in the strap locking mech so i cant wear it at the mo :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
core 0 Posted October 4, 2013 Could someone please tell me what the 'indicator' at the 9 o'clock position means? Some sort of power indicator? It has been going up since the day i got it.. Hope it doens't explode and blows off my hand when it reaches the top.. On the gen and 7750 rep version, the 9 sub-dial shows the "Linear" seconds. On the quartz version, the 9 sub-dial shows the chronograph minutes: 0 - 19: Red 20 - 39: Black 40 - 59: Black Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
