I get what you're saying TJ. In this particular case I would have sent it for a relume (for yet another €60 + shipping). Even though this is a watch that does come with great super lume from the CN factory.. But this time I got a refund and the other dealer picked a nice example right from the start! Happy new year gents - now this fellow addict needs to get a couple of hours sleep..

Happy new year everyone!

Recently I've seen QC pics from TD's of things that I would never approve because it has been examples that has not satisfied me at all.. Not because they have been way off their gen counterparts, but because the factory has been sloppy - period. Missing paint on hands and uneven lume on dials.. I have not shared the QC pics on the forum - only with close friends who knows their stuff (just to make sure I was not too nit picking).. One TD made three attempts (and failed on all three) and the next one hit the nail after just one attempt.. Conclusion: some TD's check the stuff before taking/ sending QC pics, some does not..

Haha! Sounds promising! Looking forward to it..

Mary is "Watch-International" - also one of our trusted dealers.

Congrats R! What a way to kick start 2012! Looking forward to see what your Lego dude will have in store for it when it arrives..

+1 Have one just like it on the way (in transit as I type this) from Mary. I am very excited to be honest!

Good to have you back K! Here's to a successful 2012 for you and your family!

+1 Very well said!

Say it ain't so, Dave.. But if it really is, you and Stevie will truly be missed (by me anyway).. And I wish you both the best of success in whatever you decide to take on in the future!

Yup, the later stubby CG "1:1" vintage reps from the cartel also has Polex between the lugs. Maybe a MBW/ MBK copy since they also accept gen parts to some extent? A rep of a rep or just a coincident? @iRU: A quick pic will help to determine what you actually have on your hands

Congrats TA and once again thanks to Dave for spicing up the RWG Christmas spirit!

Huge thanks to the RWG crew for yet another fine year! Without you guys this place would have been just a forum.. I would also like to add FxrAndy to complete the list. Special thanks to you my friend! Leopard crawl!
