Quick Poll - Price Angels

[ayuptyke]

I have ordered the following from PriceAngels over the past few weeks,
Pam
Sub
PP Fantasy
TH Calibre 17
Breitling for Bentley

First order arrived and the others are on there way.

I will post pictures when they arrive and prepare for the shouts of 'canal' from the experts, but as I am new to this sport and aware that no one I work / socialise with would know the difference............and the fact it is on my wrist, I think what the heck.

The only problem I have with the site is that all the best watches are only available if you have the link to the correct page, you can not find them on the search.

So anyone got links to the good stuff, please post

I just got a quartz Breitling Navitimer from them, lots of details wrong with it but it looks awesome to everybody but the super informed guys and it has so much coolness going for it. and it has AR! Besides, there are no great Navitimer reps so I was trying it out to see if I actually GOT something. I'm a Rolex man so I'd be super anal about a cheap rep and all the details but I know next to nothing about Breitlings. I have yet to open it but the quartz chrono mov't is working great and when the chrono is on it doesn't tic-tic-tic it has about approx 5 beats a second.
This was my recce piece before I get the J12 for my wife...maybe I should have got that one first as it is only $32 whereas my Breitling was $55.

This is my first post EVER, so please take it easy on me and let me know what you think. I just recived the Rolex Deep sea dweller. I love it. It is super nice. It came with a protector for the ceramic and in perfect condition. Im a Noob so I dont know much but when I took the back off it had the two piece back and a solid movement. No plastic holding it in place. Sorry for my explination of the watch but I really have no clue what Im talking about. But I love this watch and Wor $78 BUY IT!!!

Dude, you are supposed to take off the plastic protector when you wear the watch!



Enjoy your first rep!!!

Haha I know I just wanted to show off the cool little plastic protector thing. I was even thinking about buying another one of the same watch so I can try my hand at some mods. I would love to try and make this water proof to atleast 2 meters so I can show it off at the pool. By the looks of it I think it would be just fine but I know nothing about watches. Let me know what you think about it, Here is another pic I took with the cell phone.

I think if you put some silcone watch grease on the crown seal, case back seal, and tighten the case back good then you'll probably have no problem at the pool.

Of course, you never know for sure until you have a watchmaker pressure test the watch. Personally, I would probably risk it after doing the seals.

 

[Hazardmanlog]

Thanks for the advise. It was only $78 so If it does dies Ill just buy another.

 

[ajs914]

FWIW, my price angel's sub came with a loose case back. It fogged up after a light hand washing and trying to keep water off the watch. After greasing the seals, no problem at all.

 

[Hazardmanlog]

When I recived mine the only reason I took the back case off was becasue it came of by hand. I didnt have to use any tools and just turned it with ease like you would your bezel. But besides that Im in love with this thing. Out of the 28 watches I have this one is my favorite. Its not saying much being that the most I have spent on a watch is my Luminox Series 0200 and my Invicta Subaqua Nomo III 1894. But this Rolex is just AMAZING!!! I cant stop talking and thinking about it.

By the way. What watch greas do you use? I have seen a few choices but dont have a clue what to get and where to find it. Amazon.com maybe??? or Ebay?

 

[ajs914]

Just whatever silcone watch grease you can find is probably fine. I got some in an tool kit from Watchblitz and a little tiny tub seems like it will last for years.

Saw this on ebay:

Just received this today....

I ordered a quartz Speedmaster just to see what it looked like (hey for $60 shipped free, why not?).

Bracelet on par with my handwind commemorative rep (pins and barrels too), slightly domed, and the rehaut is black.

The big chrono second hand is just a RCH off to the left when reset to the 12 o'clock position. 3 o'clock subdial follows the hour hand, 6 o'clock is the second hand for the movement, and 9'oclock is the chrono minute hand.

So, it is definitely a $60 piece, but I will most likely use the solid caseback on my handwind once I get it repaired (yes, I checked and it fits perfectly).

Oh, and it took 18 days to get it. It sat in China at the postal depot for 10 days before if finally started it's journey (not PA's fault).

*****Note that in NO WAY am I endorsing PA, I just thought I would give them a shot to see what turned up in the mail.*****

 

[pjsayer]

Not too shabby. I had one myself. Nice subdial spacing, good case size with a very respectable bracelet for the money. Shame about the tick tick tick tick.... ;-((

 

[ayuptyke]

IDK - Link please

 

[Hazardmanlog]

Just ordered a seamaster and a pam111 lets see what I get.

 

[Hazardmanlog]

Sorry it's a PO not sea master. My bad.

 

[eudora12]

Do you think that bracelet wil fit a PO 42mm?

 

[dutchwatch]

I am really bad at recognizing the watches when the name is not on it. Model is something I could never tell. Is it maybe possible for you guys to also put the link to the watch and the brand/model name behind it for the best quality/best buy watches.

 

[Hazardmanlog]

Do your research and you will figure it out. Almost all the watches are on this forum.

 

[ajs914]

Search for price angels and you'll find several threads with lots of links.

I want to do an in depth review of this watch, but I have to find the time for it. For now, heres my <$60 Omega Speedmaster Chrono. I'm more than happy with the quality, and for the hot weather we've been having, I threw it on a new NATO strap:
