Father forgive me, for I have sinned...........It's been a few months since my last confess.....I mean post...........

I'm getting an early Christmas gift from my "Island Girl"....a Pam homage ordered from Getat. I was searching for something in google and came across DR Custom Watch out of North Carolina. I know nothing about them.... their quality or reputation. Has anyone heard of them or ordered through them? How was your experience?

Thanks!

Pennapolis!

:cursing: You are NOT forgiven, you called a knockoff a homage!

A knockoff has the original makers name on it, but that's not what this post is about.

I have no experience with DR watches.

Not bad looking, though, just big.

I see nothing wrong with them, they are not "fake" since they are not marked with the name of the original like a knock off replica would be.....With that said for my money I would rather purchase a good quality brand name watch that is usually a better quality, has some water resistance and has the true makers brand name.
Not everyone can afford a Pam and with so many major manufacturers producing lookalike watches, there are several quality brand name watches that are available. Examples would be names like Steinhart, Debaufre, Margrette, LumTec and many more.

Is Mr. Clean an homage to Patrick Stewart?

Don't make me go Java-Mocha on anyone over this subject again!

you got it backwards. Mr Clean looked like that back in 1957

Bah.

Patrick Stewart is a watered down William Shatner, without the toupee. :T

They say they use ETA movements. That's a good sign.

I hear the owner, Dennis Rudy, is a good guy, willing to build your custom watch, since they are made to order.

Shatner and Stewart? :confused1: ( :lol: )

What would you expect from a guy with a great first name like that? :T

I noticed that. It looks like he also uses Seagull movements in his less expensive watches.....not that there's anything wrong with that :biggrin:

....They say they use ETA movements. That's a good sign.....

They also say (as with their homage to the Fifty Fathoms) not to take their diving watches diving! That's not such a good sign.
You're free to think what you will, but they are not going to appear on any of my shopping lists.

Well it sounds like he's got a good reputation, so I'll check back with him every once in a while. Thanks for all the input!
