Placed an order today with Getat for an "unknown" brand of a particular homage watch. Hush hush whisper whisper. I'm assuming that it's still safe to order from him.

Just placed my order today. I opted for the EMS shipping. See if that gets it here faster... I still figure if I get it in 35 days or less I'll be all good. I thought I was going to go the black PVD route but at the final moment I went with the brushed case w/ the polished bez. here are the details:

Item no. st44wt 1:1 44mm Sterile Black Dial with Superlume Watch
Buckle Style : Pre-V
Case Option : Brushed, Polished Bezel w/ Sapphire
Dial Lume : 02) Gray (US)
Hands Colour : All Black
Hands Lume : 02) Gray (US)
Movement : Normal Stainless Steel
Strap Option : Hazel Gray / black stitch

I'll post updates as they come.

I too opted for EMS. Have yet to receive request for payment. Will try to remember to update as they happen. My options..

1:1 "Brand-To-Not-Be-Named" 44mm Black Dial with C3 Superlume Watch Buckle Style : Pre-V Case Option : Brushed w/ Sapphire Hands Colour : Black w/ White second Movement : Normal Stainless Steel Strap Option : Vintage Wooden Brown / white stitch

Oops... Got my payment request as I was typing this. Lol. Also an email from Getat. Strange. In both E-Mails, CCNow and Getat refer to a link to the "invoice" in question. In both instances it just links to a picture of the watch itself. :dunno: Edit : (For some reason my 'Enter' button isn't working to separate out edits... Not sure...) Payment sent. Let the waiting games begin! Off to buy another watch to ease the pain of the wait on this one. Also, I wonder who will get theirs first, Fernando?

I ordered a Mini Fiddy (44mm) from Jackson... long story short, my order went to France and I received a 47mm Radiomir (meh) with Roman and Arab numerals (YUCK!). I decided to keep it (shipping it back would cost and would be a hassle) and to make it a project watch.... but I have a question: What diameter is the dial? I do not currently have the tools to open it (on their way ), and I wanted to order replacement dial and hands for it. Or should I wait to open it and measure the diameter myself, just to be sure?

Ha ha it is on jaredB. I'm in CA so I think I may have you beat since we have that awesome connect to Asia via the Bay Area ports! But, we'll see I paid last night via PP and received an email from Tat saying everything was all good.

EMS from Singapore to Norway took about a week, and that's including two days in customs. I figure HK should be about the same.

I wanted to do PayPal.. Apparently back in 2009, they locked down my account due to inactivity and since I couldn't verify my old card number, I have to use alternate means of verification.. that's going to take too long to be able to pay Tat for the watch. Had to use CCNow.

Haven't heard back from Tat as of today. CCNow sent me an invoice tho.

Invoice approved, funds have left my account. Says "Awaiting Shipment." on the order status.

I ordered my watch from Getat. after 1 and half weeks and 2 reminders, my watch got shipped. i received tracking number on 4th March. Shipping in Germany.
it's via hongkong post (EMS?).
website doesn't show any info with tracking number. i have written 2 times about this problem to Getat but no reply.
Most pathetic seller i have come across during my whole online buying process.
i will never buy again from him.

Mintu, I think you might find that it's well known that the tracking systems will not work until some days after shipment and sometimes only work once they are in your country's jurisdiction. We do not often get reports of watches going missing in the post, so you should be able to feel assured that they will arrive. Unless of course it gets held up at your reputable customs.

He must have hundreds of orders and many more emails to deal with besides what I believe to be an immaterial issue with what is otherwise FREE shipping from South east Asia to worldwide countries.

Hardly a pathetic seller?

I just love that effect! How did you apply the grungy look to the dial if I may ask?

 

[JaredB]

Okay. Slight issue. I just checked my bank account and the 185$ used to purchase my Getat was returned to my account. Anyone have any similar issues? Not sure what's going on. Doesn't even show to original purchase anymore.

Update : Tat sent me an email saying;

"Your order will ship today

And give yiu tracking number tonight

Will check the payment later, usually no problem

Best Regards,
Tat"

I guess we will see.

So, the little pin that holds in the crown guard has fallen out and gone MIA. Should I contact Getat or does anyone else have a solution?

Got my new PVD Getat yesterday morn, only problem is it hasn't been assembled and not really sure where to go from here. My last order i did the same thing, added all bits separate to my cart and i received it built

Just received confirmation that the watch has shipped. Tracking# does not work yet but I know that is typical. Again, if i see this thing before the start of April I'll be good.

Unboxing and pics when it arrives!

This thread does not make a very convincing case for ordering from Getat. Yikes.

Ordered my watch in February 14th.
I had talked to Tat a lot before I placed my order and I was very pleased with the way he responded to my questions.
I asked him many questions and he has always been polite and helpful showing genuine interest in assisting me.
So I paid him in February 14th. In February 21st he said that he had shipped the watch. However, I suspect he really placed my watch for shipping about one week later because I was unable to see the tracking number until February 27th.
I got the watch today and I loved it. I hope it will work well and long.

Thank you!
The case is 47mm size and the glass is mineral.
Tat said that 47mm "fiddy" is the only type of watches he makes with the doomed glass.

I'd love to see a wrist shot and to know what size wrist you have, as I'm not sure I can realistically wear 47mm but yours is the style I like
