Grand Carrera Calibre 36, QC photos received

[Zeljko]

Hello everyone,

I've received QC pics from puretime watch.com.
This is my first replica to be bought
http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/grand-carrera-calibre-36-rs-on-bracelet/

and here are the photos:

What you think about tag logo on dial and dial (face) color?
Is it ok to proceed the order, to approve the shipping.
To me it doesnt look like on the puretime website, but maybe it's only because of angle and light? Don't know...

To me the watch looks good, and the dial color too as it changes ''color'' and effect in differents lights, angles, sun light due to the Double antireflective curved sapphire crystal as they describe on the website. there is nothing to worry about from my point of view

Cheers Man

Good luck with the movement!

Good luck with the movement!

Thank you, I know I will need it!

 

[ALE7575]

It seems correct
Blue surely is AR colour

BTW, I wish you luck with the mvmt. Mine is in China definitively I have had to change it.
Very problematic this watch !!

There was a problem with dial Tag logo so they sent me a QC pics of new watch, which they will ship.

I heard that a lot of members had problems with this movement, i bought exactly the same watch, and i never had a problem with the chono or anything else for that matter, but yes as soon as i received it i asked my horloger to fully service the movement and check regulation... i always do that with reps to avoid any big malfonctions. and i sold the watch to a RWI member about a month ago, and he seems to be really happy with it too. I guess the shipping can also be the cause of theses problems, or just the maker didn't take too much time worry about this, and dealers looked the other way hoping that there won't be too much issues about it who knows? Well i hope for you Zeljko you ll be as happy as i was with this watch, it's a great watch

I have this exact watch and have worn it daily for many months. I use the chrono all the time and the movement has been perfect.

Is it just my eyes or is the G on the TAG logo on the dial missing the arrow ends?

 

[accord]

sat je prekrasan, medutim moj prijatelj ga je morao vratiti jer nakon 1mj nije vise radio kako treba, power reserve mu nije bio dovoljno dobar, stao bi preko no?i, pa je poceo stajat preko dana, na poslijetku smo ga poslali nazad, i jos cekamo odgovor trusted dilera!
sretno s mehanizmom..

 

[Zeljko]

Ooo, tu ima i Hrvata!
Pa ne znam , cekam, jos nije stigao, a cuo sam za probleme s mehanizmom.
Nadam se da ce ovaj biti ok.
Jeste imali problema s carinom u Hr. sa satovima? pozz

An arrows are not missing, but probably are not 100% same as on genuine watch
''G'' is not as should be.

 

[Zeljko]

Received it yesterday, sent it back to China today...

 

[kaniel]

:facepalm:

What happened?...

Anyway now is time for you to be patient.

If I were you I wouldn't send it back to china.. Just take it to a watchsmith...

Now you will have to wait 1 or 2 months to get it back and probably with the same issue not reppaired...

Again, Good Luck !!

It was completely ''dead'', nothing.
But I still can not figure out why, how is it possible, because I beleive Angus that they test the watch, chrono as well, that is visible from QC photos also, that chrono worked.
It was packed well, in the Tag box and wrapped very well.
I didn't want to take it to watch repair service cause I was thinking that puretime will respond that they are not any more responsible if someone open the watch and try to repair unsuccessfully.
Hopefully it will not take so long, Angus replied to me that ''[FONT=verdana,sans-serif]It usually takes about one week time to fix''.[/FONT]

how long did you try wearing it for?

I was under the impression that all automatic watches are 'dead' until they are worn/shaked for a while to wind up

 

[Zeljko]

I tried to wear it for about one hour maybe and shake it gently to wind it up but nothing.

Did you try winding it manually via the crown?

 

[Zeljko]

Yes, I did.

I usually do a full manual wind, and a gentle bump start in cases like that.
Works 70% of the time, every time.
