Well said. I actually sold it today to RoninQ. He happens to live in the same city i do so no pp or shipping to worry about . he gave me exactly what i paid for it. aftr all the discussion about it i was kind of sad to see it go. oh well, at least it's still in "the family". thaks for the reply.

I agree, the watch isnt bad and it has grown on me in the last 48 hours. My big thing is it wasn't what i ordered. I ordered a vintage sub with a crown guard. Thanks for the encouragement though.
Brian
Yeah, thanks Mike. I'm affraid i've learned the hard way. But, from whan i've learned thru comments it may not as bad a watch as i am thinking, even though it wasn't what i ordered.
exactreplicas.com this particular vintage is not shown in their catalog. i looked at the vintage/non swiss that has a crown guard and got this one so you would be rolling the dice. also my 50% off was a "limited time offer". you can try and enter the discount code and see what happens. it is crunch50. good luck.
I dont mind at all. Well, they list the watch at $299.00 or so and they claim a 54% discount and sent out an email offering an additional 50% off all watches so at the end of the day including shipping it was $59.00.
You're absolutely right . It doesn't look bad at all. And yes, they did use a low profile case. I was just unhappy that I didnt get the one I ordered. Not sure of the model number but I wanted a vintage model with the crown guard.
Yeah, they do offer good discounts but it's not worth it. The Vintage Sub I bought from them said it was originally $299.00. Yeah right. So they scam people with the "discount". Anyway, thanks for the comment.
I have purchased 3 watches from them. The first purchase was a while ago (pre RWG days) and that went ok ie i got the watch i ordered and the watch is ok. The second experionce was marginal (pre RWG). I rcvd the watch and had fairly good communication with er but the watch i rcvd was not the same as photo. It was nice enough and they offered 30% off but not what i thought i ordered. Is it wearable and do i wear it? yes. Third and final purchase (also pre RWG) the watch i rcvd is totally the wrong model of vintage sub and feels really cheap (paid $59.00 half off and they claim to be 50% cheaper than all others). Again, is it wearable and do i wear it? yes. Would i take it off to show it off? no. So long story short. Avoid er unless you want a POS. They are cheap when they offer random discounts but their product reflects that. Hope that helps.

ps i have some photos of my vintage sub pos unter the roles area "New POS"
I rcvd this yesterday from a site i'm kind of embarrassed i purchased from. Lesson learned. Lets just say they claim to be "exact replicas". Anyway, nice looking vintage but not the model i ordered from their site or the watch i viewed on their site. It keeps stopping and feels cheap. Lesson learned. Nice looking though and i thought i would share my new POS and my experience with you all. Thanks for viewing in advance.
