  1. Crown was not fully screwed in, and I noticed that I forgot to take of the plastic seal on the crystal taking the pics.....:)

    The size is about 44mm but it doesn't wear big,for size it can be compared with the Seamaster Pro chrono

    The dial is not bright white but a little creamish white, looks very nice

    I hope to visist an AD today at a little GTG in Amsterdam to look what the gen dialcolor is

  2. @bruce 79

    Great photos!

    @bruce79 and Stephane

    It looks like you have similar straps on this beautiful timepiece; do you mind reveling your source?

    Sorry but I just noticed that it is a Di-Modell Chronissimo Do they have a web-site?

    @Stephane

    Who varnished your dial?

    @Capice

    after a trip North for crystal swap and a return to NY, I will have all the spare parts needed to assemble a 3717 complete with SS band and two leather straps.

    Send a PM if you are interested.

    Tnx m8, if I could assemble that myself I would hold you on your offer, so just to be sure a pm is send...:)

  3. Like Dani said, it was a no-brainer that within minutes of this threat, every single member who had ever bought a watch from the cartel and got it delivered without problems would come to their defense. And I especially love it when members with less than 50 posts and less than six months on their membership come telling us what this forum is all about. I have bought from Andrew too, got my merchandise and had a pleasant shopping experience. So far so good.

    But you people need to understand that this is illegal merchandise we're dealing with and because of that, no one is going to help you in case of trouble but the likes of RWG, RWI etc. The forums are your last and only line of defense, making sure that you are not being completely ripped off. A lot of you have come here after paying a fortune for some "Super, Swiss grade AAA+" sub that was a real POS. Here, members help other members and the admin helps the members and we all help one another not go get ripped off. That includes to take action - even against dealers - if they break the rules (of what is decent business behavior). In the rep world, no government antitrust agency is going to come to the rescue. The only way to say "No, we don't want this!" with some chance for success is the combined force of the members of the rep forums. Since the Darkside was even linked to on the cartel websites, I am sure that admin over there did not shoot from the hip in this issue. They thought long and hard before taking this step but the rep forum where not created by dealers as a sales platform but by rep and watch enthusiasts in a effort to share knowledge and provide guidance in an illegal environment.

    Don't agree on the first part Chub, as all members with bad experiences vent their stories , the ones with good experiences do too..

  4. I put the topic back on RepGeek, hope to hear why it was removed....

    Personally I have found Andrew to be one of the better dealers, great service,quick and prompt communication,delivering what was promised, minor issues are being solved(damaged dial and lugscrews)

    Trusted....yeah I think so....keeping his word, delivering as discussed....

    I would like to see evidence of this...If true i understand the step RWI took...and I feel sorry for us all

    As you all know every dealers pays a fee to be permitted to do business on the forum.

    It's a game like all business, we as buyers want to get the lowest prices, the dealers want the most what they can get....

    Look at the oilcompanies, energycompanies,carmanufacturers, every business is looking for the most profit, any way they can get that is granted...

  5. Finally :bounce: , after By Tor "pursueded" me to buy this beauty, it has arrived today from PT.....

    Pics will follow asap

    Some quick pics

    What surprised me was the high quality of the bracelet, as mentioned by another member

    Although I don't have a big wrist, it didn't need any adjustment. I don't know if this is the standard size but it might be a good idea for people with a bigger wrist to chesck with the supplier and order extra links if possible

    Another thing on this watch: the stem and crown are very loose and wobbly(if that is the right word)

    something I haven't seen on any of my other reps

    Overall it is a beauty............

    Updated with some pics from the subdials
