@ P4GTR thank for the tip! Man your watch shines! Beautiful! I'm not the most patient person but I am trying :lol: I need to find a shop that carrys some of that now! I hope the hell someone carries that in my area I'm tried of ordering stuff
It appeared that you were saying that you could find it from the other site. I guess I misunderstood you.

If you can find a bicycle shop then you can find rock n roll extreme chain lube, or white lightning is another major brand. Just ask someone there for dry lube for your mountain bike chain.
Hopefully you decide to stick with some recommended dealers and get a quality watch. I remember how excited and acknowledgeable I was not very long ago. The quality control is hit or miss enough, don't take extra chances. Usually tracking is not very detailed.

Ok thank you! I'm definetly going to stick to dealers listed here that's for sure! I don't want to take chances I'm NOT a betting man! One thing that confuses me though it seems from what I read watchden aka top10brand.net is recommended here but it seems as though fakemaster doesn't like them from his previous comment. I will without a doubt listen though! I lost too much money to even say & I'm not looking to waste more!
I just received my watch today 9/12/09 & it is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! I am AMAZED how good it looks! I would recommend top10brand.net (which is watcheden) to anyone & everyone! I received my order in 8 days from HK to Pa.! I'm a VERY HAPPY Customer! This is my first Rolex & have another one coming already! I will post a picture in a bit! Thank you Sarah & thank you guys for all your GREAT help!
I just check my watch today & it's 2hr & 20 mins. behind! Has anyone else run into this? If I take it to a watch repair shop can they fix it? I'm not going to send it back I rather just pay someone here in the states so please don't suggest that!
That sounds like quite a bit of error but maybe let it run in for a bit. Now that mine (just like yours except for numerals instead of stick markers) has stabalized it will be 3 seconds fast, then 8 seconds the next day, then back to dead on the third, etc.!
You can open it up and regulate it yourself but I'm not sure how much can be regulated...

I thought so too. When I got it I set the time wound it 20 times & put it down until today & it was off that much. However I wore it all day today & seems to be keeping pretty good time so far. I don't have have a tool to open the back up but I'm curious as to how you regulate it?
Oh, yeah, if you stuff it into a drawer I wouldn't count on it keeping good time. I have opened my rep Sub with a wad of duct tape but it demolished the "sticker". I have a "sticky-ball on order which should be cleaner. If you search on sticky ball you will find discussion on use and I seem to remember posts about how to regulate movements as well. Search is your friend! :wink:
I see & thank you for your help! Sometimes I gotta scratch my head & I wonder how everyone finds these thing using the search? Not just here but everywhere. I type things in & most of the times things come up that don't help me. :roll:
Using any search engine is in itself an art form and then you have a lot of chaff to sort through. Glad you found everything.
I got my second watch today the Paul Newman however the chorno button stick & when winding the watch going counter clockwise I can hear a gear sound & on my first watch I hear no sound. Turn both watches clock wise they sound the same. Also the Paul Newman when pushing the crown in doesn't have the same click sound. When I screwed the back off both of them they have different movements both are self winding but the Paul Newman is much smaller & doesn't look as good! Both are suppose to be Asian 21J movements. Is this normal?

New watch came in today have questions?
Here a pic of my new watch:
This is the one the chorno buttons were sticking& the crown was sticking too. I used some silcone grease on the chorno buttons & the crown & they seem much better. However I have some questions. Do all reps come with different Asian 21J movements? In this watch the seconds at 6 do not work. The top chorno button moves the 9 oclock subdial & the bottom chorno button moves the 3 oclock subdial & when setting the time with the crown moves the 6 oclock subdial. Now on my other watch posted above that one has the seconds at 6. This is why I'm asking about the movements because I purchased 2 different watches in the same price range & they gave the same description but the watches act totally different! Any help would be apperciated! I'm really afraid to buy the other watch I want now as I really like my first one but I'm not crazy about the second one. Plus the second one is alittle different from what I ordered too (they made a mistake).

Re: New watch came in today have questions?
A 21J movement is a basic movement. It is not "complicated" enough to run all those subdials. So, with a 21J movement they will not work as they should. The rep would require a 7750 movement to run the subdials.
