Just ordered a Daytona Panda by arf from Trusty Time

I just ordered my first super clone Daytona Panda by arf from Trusty Time to replace my old green label Daytona i bought in NYC Chinatown 15 years ago. That was a good replica for the time but it is horrible compared to today's standard. My next purchases will be 1 or 2 Panerai in 42" anybody has one? I was also looking into the JLC SS Master Control Geographic by ZF.

Who else on this forum mixes it up by wearing reps and gen?

Looks as though you are not exactly new to this hobby.
Many of us mix gens with reps, though in my case the gens are small in number.
Enjoy the forum.

I might sound like I know what I am talking about but it is just that I learned a lot in the last few days

Thanks

I don't see too many 42mm pams. Wish I did...

When I order the Daytona I was told it was in stock. After about 2 weeks, I checked with Trusty Time and I was told the ARF factory is closed and I am not about to get the watch I paid for! I asked for a refund and was given one but I was told another 2 weeks for that too!
Is this normal?? I am kind of pissed

Yeah a number of factories were closed and some supply issued. I ordered a few watches and waited patiently for 3 months. I finally gave up and asked for refund ...got my money back within a few days. But don't worry Andrew is trustworth..you're get your money back

You will get your money back without any problems, you did the right thing by checking stock before buying but you shouldn’t of been told they were in stock if they weren’t, unless of course the factory got raided during your transaction in which case it’s was really bad luck
