Conclusion: Dont trust your reps to your wife.

I have a Solti BP pen from Josh and it is the best pen i have.

I have that one too .... but after 1 week of use

Sorry to hear (and read) another sad story with defective watches send and replacements that never come through.

You are not the first one my friend. It has happened before (with other dealers too) and it will happen again.

In similar cases there only two things you can do:

1) Find a rep friendly watchsmith to get the watch fixed and have the dealer to pay back the diferrence if the amount is significant.

Finding though such

No matter how you see it ... things are slow ...here and on their respective sites too.

They only coming with some "old models" with some face lifting done like the new date mag on the PAM024 etc.

Nothing really new so far.

Dont believe that this is due to the dealers. The more new models they have , the more they sell.

I guess is due to production on factories. Is either slow or held.

With all these .... I will say that the statement "Boycott the new Asian7750" is quite correct.

This is the Yacht-tona model ?????

my newly acquired swiss pam 183 just [censored] the bed too. i had it for 3 days ... not bad!

You did'nt try to send it back ???

New total: 65 defective watches so far.

@sjako: There are better things in life than "SAP".

Watches are passion and fun. SAP is not !!!!!

@ Rob: that also makes the 2836-2 modified a good movement too or cause is modified that's a whole diferrent story ???

Thanks

There are about over 120 new orders that he has to take care after CNY...so you can understand!

... one of them is mine ... for a defective PO 45 mm

With so many cheap gens ..... this forum looks now like PWMF

Guys .... yor are meant to keep the RUNNING TOTAL of defective watches updated.

So .... how many we have so far ???

approx 15 defective watches... 7 with asia 7750 and 3 with asia unitas 6497 and 2 with asian skeleton unitas.

... so 15 defective or 12 defective watches.

4+ years with reps , so far 7 defective (returned) reps

Total count: 12

The original one is over 60mm iirc.

.... to be hanged on neck rather to be weared on wrist.

....... for a moment I thought that we had a new sex topic .....

Dont spy your Dad.

I want a Radiomir GMT!

Either of these will do.

I am in for these Radiomirs too.

.... so many great Pams with date not yet been reproduced.

They are both nice.

I am glad to hear that the FP writes well. Usually the rep FPs dont do or they write with interruptions.

I wish one day do replicate also the MB nib. These rep FPs wear std nibs.

I don't know your system as well as I know ours, but I think the situation you are in relates to the distinction between seizure and forfeiture. I'll tell you how things work here.

Customs has the authority to seize any number of things, but once they have seized it, they cannot just keep or destroy it - that would be a bit too much like stealing. They must dispose of it one way or the other via some sort of forfeiture action - in other words, they must resolve the issue of possession.

If Customs seizes a watch here, they must account for it. It is your property, contraband or not, so they must tell you that they took it, why they took it, and what your recourse is, and give you an opportunity to challenge their position.

If it were me, I would not make any false statements of any kind - and I would not make any admissions either. I would just send them the check and forget about it. By the way, paying the charge is not an admission of anything.

I really do suggest that you refrain from following any of the clever, well intentioned, advice. Trying to get cute is a great way to make a little problem into a big problem. Here, making a false statement under these circumstances woould be a felony cognizable under Title 18 USC Section 1001.

Bill

.... sounds wise to me.

Play dumb. I trusted the guy and sent cash. Expected a genuine watch and customs bill when it arrived. There is nothing illegal in that. I'm not sure about what the Swiss law is, but it seems to me that you wouldn't want to admit that you had any intention to import counterfeit goods.

..... and what about if they ask him to reveal the seller data ???

A Mao (Zedong) 7750b movement LOL

I think PP for inter-members trade should be OK.

Tghe logical thing is that PP should monitor these users with a high volume of transactions , especially the ones based in CHN.

If you are not falling in to this category ... then it shouldnt be a problem.

Great review .... done the old good way.

And the famous Venus:

Nice pics Maciek.

Glad you had a good time there. Paris is a great city.

......  btw, tell them to return that Aphrodite (Greek: Ἀφροδίτη), back where it belongs to.
