New Portuguese 7 days

[T222]

@ Quantum
My Portugueese broke down after just 14 days, so I sent it back for repair, and asked if they could install the "upgrade" plates to the movement, when they did the repair.
I just got mail from my TD (Ken-Chazingtime), with pictures.
My Portugueese is working again, and it's now a V2 !!
Great service from Ken! (thanks)
Now I can only hope that everything is fine on the watch, and that it will last for a loooong time!

Result....mate would you mind PMing me how much the V2 plate cost you please? My watch is currently back with the TD so worth a shot.

Just received 2 more of these guys (V2) this time for a friend of mine. Have to say i was expected a little more from the movement upgrade. The decorative plate looks good, but you can clearly see its a deco plate just by glancing it at for 2 seconds. I am kind of happy with my v1. I do have to say that the Gold case looks gorgeous. I took a quick pick and will post it soon.

I'm about to receive my V2, should be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so I am in urgent need of a gator strap now.

Send the question to PureTime, they are giving you an option to order some parts along with the watch. As I know they are not offering this option without ordering the watch itself.

Mine just arrived - and it's indeed a DOA watch, the rotor is stuck. Bad luck, again, as with about 80% of my reps, so it will go to the watch smith tomorrow.

Oh no... You waited so long and yet this happened? I have yet to buy this. Looks unlikely now for next 6 months after your experience...

 

[Variatio Delectat]

I'd consider it bad luck - and, of course, as a matter of the rep movements. The package as such was 100% ok.

 

[lolo1972sg]

Not easy to fix it DIY?

 

[Variatio Delectat]

As I don't have any tools to open the case it's not, but I hope it will be an easy fit for the watch smith.

Good luck then mate. I feel for you. After all these waits and this happened... Really bad luck. Hope your next rep will be perfect [emoji1]

There are three more watches on their way, should arrive by the end of this week. One of them is the new ZF Spitfire so I'm looking forward. Plus I actually have three watches with the watch smith anyway so I'm pretty much used to it.

genuine buckle = 400 USD! Use the rep ZF one... it is quite good!

 

[add461]

thanks theflyingdutchman

My friend wants to buy this strap for his laureus here http://www.panatime.com/22miriforpao2.html

would he be able to remove the buckle and put the rep one on it ?

thanks for your help ...i'm such a noobie lol

 

[Variatio Delectat]

The rep (as the gen) does not have a buckle but a deployant. The measurements of the the straps are different for deployant vs. buckle, the one he is going to purchase is indeed for buckle so it will not fit as it is supposed to. Those are the correct measurements (watch out for the lenghts):
