mostling 40 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Even if they all would have low beat movements you got a great deal for what you paid. Well I've installed the clock tuner app, had to pay to get it to show the beat. But tested each one, results were: All 28800 except the 2 panerai ones that were 21600 From this I take it that 28800 is "good" high beat and the 2 panerai ones (21600) are the not so good low beat. That sounds about right, handwound Panerais are usually 21600, so all good there, you won't notice the difference on the small seconds hands. As said, you got a hell of a deal on those watches.

Flakmonkey 0 Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) Im UK based. I've done a hell of a lot of reading Mostly just looking on sites recommended to me and this forum. I have had mechanical watches before but nothing special. And yes, it was my friend that pointed me toward this site as well as repgeek.com, he is still a member as far as I know. I've learnt a lot in a short time. Although I suspect I still have a lot to learn. Edited August 17, 2014 by Flakmonkey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seen one on puretime, will do my research before i buy. Puretime is not a Trusted Dealer here , he is next door . I'd strongly suggest that given your membership here you stick to one of the dealers on the list , they can all source the same stock. Dal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhillyRock 0 Posted August 17, 2014 OP, you definitely have NOT been taken for a ride. Your friend gave you one HELL of a deal. If you choose to pursue more Reps, I wouldn't suggest buying anything else from PURETIME, you're not guaranteed anything like you have in your possession. We have a Trusted Dealer list here on site, and with these guys, your satisfaction is promised unlike that other site. Mods and Administration here have relationships with the TD's so your best interest is always number one. Your friend may have also been burned by rep sites, (as it's common in the hobby) and haven't disclosed that info.Good luck with your win-fall, and by the way.......go buy a few scratch off lottery tickets. because you seem to have a lucky cloud over your head!!

Wriggles 12 Posted August 17, 2014 Wind up. Or a sock. Or the seller is an idiot - which is not likely based on the collection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 9 Posted August 17, 2014 I am afraid you have been totally ripped off but I will refund you the £200 and take delivery of them all to make it up to you. I will even pay and pay the postage out of the goodness of my heart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For someone that is new to reps you seem to have acquired more knowledge than the average noob , must have done some serious reading .. and was you boss who sold you the collection ever a member here.. Dal. i agree here. the noob is not that noob. he knows enough to tell if i got ripped off.... i think someone is building up a story just to have posts to answer to.... do you get rip off? Hell no! and you knew it before asking. anyone would have been happy with one of this watch for 200$ ... even if i someone want to get out of the business, 200$ for 2300$ worth... your boss is either very bad at negociate or don't have money problems. he bought a ORIS... doesn't make sense to me. throwing 2300$ through the window and then buy a 900$ watch... doen't make sense at all. you guys are blind or credulous.

Genius 281 Posted August 18, 2014 I think the only way you can be 100% sure if you have got a good deal is to send all the watches to me. I will wear each one on rotation for the next 5 years to fully test the quality of them for you then only once I am 100% sure of the quality of them I will send them back with a signed certificate of quality for you.
