@ Rob S, of course you have a right to coment, that is what a forum is for, and i am glad to hear that you are will ing to learn from others mistakes and experience, welcome! Jomama did his research and bought a watch that he knew to be misrepresented but bought it with open eyes, after finding out that the movement (seagul) was not as bad as others have quoted it to be, I on the other hand bought one beliving it to be a gen ETA, yes i was miffed, as it turns out that movemnt has stood the test of time and is still performing its duties well, even after swimming, riding a harley (that has shaken more than one movement apart)
Since the little white lies thread i have not orderd any watches as i am waiting for something to come along and i know who i am buying it from!
Like we say First chose you dealer. I would like to think that people will take care in selecting their next dealer bearing in mind the past couple of months and a few long threads.
