he's telling me everything i want to hear. sapphire, markings, gel strap, and he personally has the pieces shipped to him first for his "QA inspection" before he ships them to me. if i don't like it, i ship it back to him for a refund. he's in the con us so i don't have to wait 2 weeks and pay $20 shipping back to malaysia or shanghai etc...which i've had to do before (pain in the ass). he also has the titanium seawolf with the yellow face and the correct model number on the back which i've been looking for for a while. so, i can get both watches with correct markings, sapphire and swiss in both for $800. it may or may not be worth the risk. i guess i'll have to find out.
