Title: My First Homage
Post by: ck77 on January 24, 2010, 07:46:17 PM
Received my first homage (http://tamhk.com/mwf/index.php/topic,647.0.html) watch on 21 January 2010 from Getat.
Watch was ordered and paid on 24 December 2009 and the shipment was stuck in HK post office for some times due to some issue. Communication via email was ok but reply often delay by 2-3 days, he is trying his best to answer all my quiries.

The specification:-
Movement: Asian Unitas 6497 stainless steel
Case: 47mm without crown 316L polished steel with doom plexiglass
Dial: California sandwich (he claimed better lume than painted dial)

Thanks ckng515 for letting me try on his destro 47mm homage MM, looks ok on my wrist. I chose this homage Pam3646 because it is the original, simplest, basic design and I like the unique California dial, no wordings so eliminate the possible wordings misaligned issue.

Outter box

Inner box secured by bubble wrap

Simple watch case with bubble wrap and plastic to protect the watch

Lastly, wrist shot, surprisingly not looking too huge on my wrist  ;D

The watch is currenly under 'treatment' and more detailed technical review will be posted by Chris  8)

Hi ck77,

Sorry to learn that your experience with getat has not been very good.

I have bought 2 watches from him and the i waited approx. 2 weeks for each watch. He made one error with my 1st watch; the hands was the wrong colour. But he contra the price of the hands for my next watch so no complaints. I was satisfied with both watches.

But this was before he got popular amongst the homage community. I guess when his sales volume went up, he does not have the capacity to accommodate. Hence I've read about slow turnaround time, slow e-mail responses, wrong orders arriving in the post, inconsistent QC etc...

One positive about getat is the straps (which you can customize) which I think is really good quality for its price.

Anyway, the sandwich dial looks really nice! Did you get the superlume option for the dial?

as per CK request.... i'm helping him to write a review on this watch....

i received this watch from CK77 yesterday due to its running an hour ++ faster in a day!
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0001.jpg)
when i took this out from my pocket... a wire lug is loosen... lucky the screw is still there....

first impression bout the case and dial
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_00022.jpg)
the watch doesnt look like a 3646 to me...
the case shape bid odd... the dial look rather small.... the crown more to radiormir than 3646..
the mineral crystal wasnt tall enough...

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_00122.jpg)
the hands is black, vintage pam is either gold or blued...
the california dial is sandwich.... with orangy lume... the hand also orangy but both color not matching....

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0010.jpg)
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0013.jpg)
the watchmaker carelessly left some dirt on at 4, 5 & 6....

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0074.jpg)
the screw in crown is difficult to screw in.. not smooth at all... at closer look... yes, its dirty and rough...


the leather strap is good looking from far.... thick and smooth stitching...
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0012.jpg)
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0014.jpg)
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0015.jpg)
however i dont understand why the thread end like that, i believe is due to using nylon thread.... not those waxed thread.... because if it is a higher end waxed thread, it wont reverse through stitching hole even u didnt tie the end
so... i wonder the big thread tied knob will scratch my hand... let me try it tomorrow...

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0016.jpg)
i'm surprise the caseback is not close tied... i can use my hand to open it... lucky ck never ask me to test the wr....
the movement is china made... no sure is tianjing or seagull
yes CK... it is loud... much louder than a std 6497


(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0050.jpg)
good or bad is relative... so i compare this with a soprod finished eta6498-1
the bridges look like a 6497 clone... but bridges been finished with cote de geneva(cdg), blued screws, pam alike swan neck regulator added!

made in china (mic)

as u can see... the mic is even have is edge trimmed.. but not well polished...
even the cdg is rough....

mic
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0073.jpg)
the screw locking the crown stem is screw n unscrew by wrong size of of screwdriver before...
and the untrained watchmaker actually left some dust nearby...

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0077.jpg)
eta used chemical blued screw i believed... the color is very consistent... mic blued the screw like pam n other higher end watches... even the screw driver flat plat touching sunken part also blued, likely chemical blued as well....

(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0006.jpg)
the watch gaining an hour ++ aday.... interesting... but it was consistently faster.... so i was thinking to adjust the balance and see...
found the swan neck can only do very little adjustment.... because the adjusting screw is so short to its adjusting index
so when i wanna make more adjustment.. the swan neck adjusting screw is just too short...
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_0018.jpg)

in order to adjust to an hour slower.... i even get the swan neck head out from pushing the balance spring adjustment needle....
(http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o210/yenfoolun/getat%203646%20homage%20ck77/DSC_00142.jpg)

i dont hv the timing machine at home... so far its running + few second to my phone after 5 hours....

PS - lazy to make a lume short... but i can tell the sandwich dial lume is poor.... the hands is ok...

Wow nice one Chris !

Good comparison and can clearly see the diff.

I also just received my watch frm Getat but am more lucky than CK that the watch runs fine, havent really check accuracy though.

I agree that you get what you paid for so i have no complaints.

Too bad i dont have camera which can do macro shoot or even decent shoots for that matter.

Care to review mine as well?  ;D

Post by: David_cheong on January 25, 2010, 06:56:53 AM
Wow, Chris. Good marco shots. I am impressed.

Good review too.

I, too, had the same merchandise from getat. However, i do not have much problem on the watch. My pc is running fine.

After all, I agreed with Peter.  What you paid is what you get. And after reading the review from Chris, I feel blessed with the 2533 from him (Chris). And I am withdrawing my sales from the Sales Corner.....

Many thanks Chris for your detailed review  :thumbsup:
No matter how close to 3646, this is a fun watch to me  8) When you pay peanuts, you get monkey  :Dancing_banana:
Just hope that it can keep the 'correct' time for few years  :Praying:

Hush, guess am unlucky here and no, I didn't opt for the superlume. Yes, strap is good and I can smell the leather.

takashi, glad to hear yours is ok.

Well, their QC is really a hit and miss. Let's wait for his reply, perhaps can get some refund (like in my case). Do post the review of your homage.

My homage from Jackson had the same issues. White particle at 11 o'clock, scratched case, wrong buckle. The thing about Jackson is that he doesn't build the watch, he orders it from a supplier and ships it out to the customer (obviously without checking 1st). I returned the watch to him for an exchange.

wat the hell??...this is no way 2 do business...i m asking for a full refund...failing which i will make sure as many ppl out there will know about his way of doing business....

i think you only can dispute if non-received of the item. you cant dispute if item received but damaged or not according to sales discriptions.
i might be wrong though.

You can say is copycat, but it is not fake. (No fake discussion in this forum, by the way)
Fake is those watches in Petaling Street that violate the copyright.

Thanks ckng515 for letting me try on his destro 47mm homage MM, looks ok on my wrist.

If you dont mind me asking, what is your wrist size? I interested in some 47mm watches too, but a bit concerned that it might be too big for my wrist. The 47mm watch looks good on your wrist, though.

Wow great homage. Thanks for the detailed story.  :Dancing_banana:

I've got an "Asian Unitas 6497" movement in a PAM 6152 homage that's running a little too fast. About 5-7 minutes per 24 hours I think.  :Mad: Does anyone know where I can get it fixed?

Thanks!

Try to look for the +/- near the balance wheel if fast - it a little bit than monitor is for 1 day below 5 min a day should be ok due not swiss movement heheh if still cant
i think the manufacture put oiling too much may effect also soo far my one quite accurate 1min slow for 1 day.If cant find it u can take picture of your movement i truy to show u
the location but some of the Asian 6497 is non adjustable u wont able to find the +/- than u cant adjust it....

Hope this picture help u (with Swan Neck) some of the 6497 wont have the swan neck

I saw quite a number of forumers here bought homage.
Some are really nice, value for $$$.
I am wondering about the after sales services.
Anyone mind to share their experience with homage?
