Not so pleasant experience

 

Alex,

I envy you are very happy with your EVO3 Moonphase. I bought the same white dial EVO3 Moonphase watch on Oct 2007 in Malaysia. After the initial excitement and satisfaction, I began to face the reality of a manufacturing flaw, not expected of the quality of such top-end watch:

The minute hand cannot synchronise with the minute marker. Despite adjusted accurately, it will be misaligned by about 30sec when the second hand completed its revolution. And I can see the minute hand is in between two of the minute markers. The service center in Malaysia acknowledged the flaw and accepted it back to the factory for service. After 3 months, it is still in the factory.

I look forward to receive it back by middle of this month, Feb 2008. This is what the Malaysia FJB Service Centre said. Wish me luck that the repair team did a quality job.

regards,

s.j. lim, Penang, Malaysia.

Many authorized dealers take all the credit whenever they make their sales; but in reality, most sales are finalized here in our forums because many PuristS who walk into the AD to purchase watches are already cake sales cause of the resources here in any...

I've seen your pictures a few times now and everytime I look at it, I discover new details. It's amazing to see those details even for a sportwatch. Like I didn't even realised that the dial is actually a metallic frost white finish, the different finishe...

Sorry mate. Spend too much time looking at your pics and not what you've written. Hope you don't mind. Your movement has a GP3300 base movement which is designed and manufactured in-house. It is basically a evolution of the original GP3000 movement which ...

Enjoyed them very much. They reveal such a wealth of extra detail that adds a bonus element to examining a nice watch. It is one of life's ironies that with age I have been able to acquire some nice watches, however at the same time my near field vision h...
