I sent my UTS off to Germany for repair and the USPS made the same mistake and misread the numbers and sent it to Africa for about two months. But after about three months it ended up in Germany and then eventually back to me.

The usps makes those types of mistakes all the time. As long as there is tracking it will eventually show up. My post office lost a package in their own building and it took them almost two weeks to look around and find it. I think they lose something about 1/5 of the time but eventually it shows up.

This comes up a lot... if you can get the back off, you can try to shoot some air on the balance (not your breath) or you can try to give it a gentle shake, in the right direction it will often work.

Probably can get your money back if you can show it is a rep...

I found a jlc for under 1 USD at similar place, sold it for 300 and it was a fun ride. One of the only times I didn't lose money on a watch.

Off at night but I enjoy the loud clicking of a skeleton unites by the bed..

Rep homage or gen... no question this is a great group of watch freaks.

Yes, I'm a bigger fan of homage rather than reps. IMO homage watches like Steinhart, dievas, prs, mkii, etc are honest fakes rather than reps which just seem to be fake fakes if that makes any sense. I usually hang on to my homage watches but I can't keep a rep more than a month or so, just bugs me.

There were a few marks on the bezel and I thought I could hide them better with per (the spelling will not let me type it). I know this isn't for everyone but I like it. I've done this several times but never at an angle so it was more difficult to get it to look precise. I was thinking of selling it,,, what do you think did I improve it or make certain it will never leave my collection?

Lots of stuff here on how to get off a solid back..should be the only hard part depending on how tight it is.

Is the back off or did the stem just come out?

Pretty much agree with "mini rant." One of the reasons I really do not like selling. On the other hand it does make one appreciate when you do a dealwith someone "old school". I rememember on WUS I picked up a cheap Russian watch. Got it. It didn't work. I wrote a few emails to the seller and toldher it was ok I'll just eat it. She was mad, corrected my grammar and really went at me. She was so mad that I use three periods in a row sometimes, like ...In the end I've been around too long and many supported me and she sort of dug her own hole. But it was a few days of real crap that I just didn't need. There is just a lot of variation out there...That's humanity I guess. I think the trick is keeping ones own standards regardless of some of the people you might deal with from time to time.

So bad its good...

now that is an interesting hypothesis....will test it out...really the only thing that makes sense...if it was oil on the keyless works then it shouldn't have worked right when I got it. Nice...even if its wrong it the best guess I've head since I had this issue.
