JohnG Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 I ordered a Super Sea-Dweller from Ruby 22 days ago. Since then I have endured long days and even longer nights punctuated by hourly visits to the EMS tracking page. Today my suffering was lifted, my pain was removed, a shining light fell from on high and I felt the spirit move in me. About 15 minutes later my SSD arrived. This is my first replica watch. I am thrilled to death that for the moment it has none of the myriad problems that reps sometimes have upon delivery - dust under crystal, crooked markers, misalignments of various types, seized screws, problems with clasp, etc. I removed one link, replaced the diver's extension with the longer gen from my Sea-Dweller tool kit, and shot some photos. The watch was running when I received it so I set it and so far it is keeping good time. Tomorrow I will check it over 24 hours to see exactly how many seconds it is gaining/losing. I am aware of the problems with the SSD - which can be fixed and which cannot but I have to say that regardless, this rep is a thing of beauty. I could hardly be happier. I could only hope that my future transactions will have such happy endings... I may do some sort of review of the whole transaction at some point but for now I will let photography express what my humble vocabulary cannot begin to convey...

Guest Sql_pl Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Great watch for a first purchase! Wear it well! BTW: Do people in Spain care about watches in general? I am visiting your Country in July and wonder if I will be able to spot some nice pieces.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In areas where this is money there are nice watches - people here who have money like to show it off, that is for sure. The rule in the U.S. that you can't really tell a person's worth from the way they dress or their car does not really hold true here. People usually display MORE wealth than they really have - and for that reason there is a thriving business in fake everything - though I have never seen really good reps here. There may be but I have yet to see any though I have seen a million guys selling crap fakes on the street. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligoat Posted May 13, 2008 Report Share Posted May 13, 2008 Excellent first purchase. Congrats. In spite of it's few shortcomings, I still think it's a great rep- hope you enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 14, 2008 Report Share Posted May 14, 2008 I agree. For your 1st exposure to reps, especially for the price, you could hardly have done much better than this 1. With proper care, it should last a lifetime. Enjoy your new toy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
