Original dial. But touched up with red Sub text without question. And as Nanuq says, the fade on a tropical dial is almost always less uniform than this. It's been 'baked', probably with a hot halogen lamp. Walk away...

I don't think there is a 220 super REP, but if you go with the 299 Noob-maker has one that it's very accurate. H-fac has one too but the printing of the text on the dial is very thin, but it's cheaper.

Can't hide it anymore. Just going to start posting about it. Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

If there are three things that are a constant in life, they are: Death Taxes Ken is logged in to RWG It doesn't matter what time I pop in, Ken is here keeping the fires burning. He's one of the good guys. For him to be gone this long is unprecedented. Something big has happened and he's dealing with it. Hang in there folks, Ken will be back. Hopefully with good news about this absence.

im not looking for a new mate or buddy im looking for a decent amount of loyalty after spending close to $2000 in under six months with him I have an order he knows about valued at about $500 that i told him to get ready but not to ship until the repair was ready now im in sales and have been for 15 years if i had a customer who had spend what i have spent and willing to spend more id push the boat out a little .

Just being honest, which some folks round here don't appreciate when it comes to the Cartel

More than likely yes. From a dealer's point of view, getting a watch repaired are costs (which may or may not lead to repeat custom) new orders are direct 'cash in hand',so it's no surprize that they are taking care of cashflow first. As mentioned above, these guys are not people's personal friends (regardless of how they may behave or lead people to believe) but are guys with the ethics of a snakeoil seller. If they don't get caught out, they don't consider it lying, just 'business' I had a similar experience a few years back with a tattoo artist who I had allowed to do work on me while he learned. As time went on, his prices increased from "just the cost of ink and needles" to full studio rate. On the one hand, I didn't mind this as the quality of his work was excellent, but on the other hand, studio rates requires studio overheads, not someone working from home... When I went to begin the outlining of the dragon's head on my back, I was told that he hadn't been able to prepare the stencils by hand, and would need to purchase a thermofax machine before we could do the dragon's head. The only problem, was unless he did more tattoo work on me anyway (for the money) he wouldn't be able to get the thermofax to do the dragon's head So I got some other work done which would have needed doing eventually anyway, but the point is, I was simply being used 'as cash', not respected as a friend or valued as a customer. In a later session, we got 90% of the dragon's head outlined, before he had to retire from tattooing due to back problems... Okay, so I have an unfinished outline on my back, but when cash allows, I'll be able to go to an artist 10 minute walk from home and get it finished off, he, on the other hand, won't be tattooing anyone else in any meaningful way
