that was actually a white faced daydate from joshua that is my dads (you can believe me if you want), i can show you that watch if you like i still have it and would never sell it bacause it is still broken. You ADMITTED to me, in the email that you sent, that you forced the hands which broke the crown. the crown was not broken on the watch that i sent you and it was actually working perfectly when i sent it. i cant believe you would stoop so low and try and dig up something that would try and get you out of the fact that you broke the watch. I said before that i would have replaced the watch if you had requested it, but you never did and then you forced the hands which have knocked the crown off. Why did you do that? if you had said it was dead on arrival and requested refund / replacement i would have without question. in the situation you have now, how can you prove that you did not break the watch, by bringing up a two and a half year old thread

Hi Raffo if you had requested the return of the watch before you had broken the dial that would have been fine, at that time it would have been an easy fix as it looked like the movement might have been dislodged in transit, which i would have had fixed no problem as it would have been a D.O.A. issue which i cover. But by forcing the hands and breaking off the rolex crown on the dial i dont know what i can do as you may have caused more internal "unknown" damage to the movement by forcing the hands. Im sorry about this but you, by your own admission on the email and photos you sent me have broken the watch, i can post the email and photos here for discussion if you want? Im sorry for posting here, but when you threatened me with paypal because i had not returned your email (I am at work by the way and cannot respond to my home emails but i have emailed you from my alternative address) it upset me abit. My proposal to you is to send the watch to a watchsmith and have it fixed. If you post a question either here or repgeek im sure you will find a watchsmith thats willing to help. That rep cost me nearly $500 when it was purchased from Eddie Lee so i think its definately worth you having it repaired.

Sorry Guys here us the correct link http://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/mess...sary+Submariner

Hi Guys I found this on another forum and thought you might all be interested. It details the changes to the Gen Submariner LV from when it was first launched as a limited edition 50th Anniversary model to the one currently on sale today. there have been so many subtle changes to the bezel, dial etc that it would be very difficult to spot a replica unless you know what you are looking for http://www.network54.com/Forum/20759...ary+Submariner

thank you, much appreciated i agree the bay can be a minefield and finding just what you want can often be very time consuming. i am sure if someone set up on this forum selling these parts, he/ she would have a constant flow of buyers queueing up. thanks again Colin.

much appreciated thank you could you tell me where you got the genuine bezel / insert etc from best wishes Colin

taking this one step further i have a sub supreme 2008 on order from PT and he emailed me saying that he has got 20 of the same watch without the engraving as a request from his supplier due to the demand from members of this forum, did i want one instead, i said yes please. so i am now getting the same watch as wm9 was advertising, i think cant wait for it to arrive.

has anyone had any emails from TTK, I emailed him about this watch but no response as yet not like TTK, hope nothing is wrong and he is alright he has been great in the past and one of the best dealers.

Hi Guys anyone got any suggestions on getting a rolex day date fixed in the UK The rolex symbol on the dial has come loose and the minute hand has dropped so it will not clear the hour markers. It is a swiss eta day date from joshua a phone number or contact details would be great I am in the north east of the UK, but any contact in the UK would be great thanks guys Colin.

Great watch One point to make, the bracelet edges are supposed to be polished (the Genuine ones are). All two tone and gold rolex watches have mirror polished sides on the bracelet. Get polishing. Colin.

I bought a modified asian 7750 Daytona 2005 off Joshua many months ago and believe it or not it keeps perfect time, the stopwatch works superbly as well. It is one of the best reps that I have.

Hi everyone, looking for a bit of advice. I, stupidly, took the bezel off my yachtmaster and cannot get it back on. There is a springy steel wire, bent into shape like a hexagon that I cannot see where it goes. Thanks in advance of any helpful replies best wishes colin46.

Well spotted, I missed those.

the genuine white face does not have a lume dot on the dial?
