I'm having an awful experience with a TD here. I wont post any details in an open forum, just not my style. I pretty sure I can write off my $250. I understand sometimes things go south in the rep world. But I think someone (mods or admins) need to know the details of the interactions and broken promises by one of the TDs. To help protect other members if this isnt a one time case and is really a pattern for this dealer. I dont expect someone to get my money back or make things right with that dealer. I've already consider my money gone. -Please if your not a mod or a admin. Dont PM me to ask who it is.I maybe the one who isnt doing things correctly and dont want to falsely accuse.

I've always liked dark blue dials and thought that someday I would build up a nice blue dialed Sub. Seems all of the ones I'd seen were TT and I really don't like TT so the thought stayed on the back burner for a long time. Last time I ordered some bands and cases my parts guy "owed" me a dial so when he asked me what I wanted I told him to surprise me as long as it was Rolex or Tudor. Yesterday I was on the phone with txrob, talking over some possible future projects, while unwrapping this dial. He was in need of a Sub dial and I thought this was a black dial so I was telling him I was unwrapping his dial but as soon as the light hit it I told him he wasn't gettin' it! My "surprise" was a dark blue Sunburst Maxi dial!!! The light hit it just right and I heard a little voice say "Build me, build me..." I already had a blue/silver insert so I got started. I'm really not that fond of "modern" Subs, SEL bands, rehaut engraving, or no lug holes but I had to have this on my wrist so I used one of the cases I build my no-dates in before lug holes were drilled. The dial came with both sets of feet so I clipped the ones for the a21j, popped it on a 2836, tossed on some silver hands, and put it in the no-date case. After it was together I glued on an ofrei cyclops and attached the band. The one thing I forgot was to mill the inside of the CGs but I'll do that some other day. Although this case does have the rehaut engraving it is not as obnoxious as some as it's not blackened in and under magnification does not look lasered so I left it alone. Just as soon as I stepped out of the shop the sun hit it and it was dazzling! The following pics do a very poor job of giving a hint at what it looks like but maybe you'll get the idea. I realize that this is probably a 100% fantasy watch but I may get rid of all of my other "Submariner Dates" as this is exactly what I had always wanted.

Very good work!
