Just can't shake this one off lately. Don't really want to either. Excellent wristies today people.

Good old Ebay. You'd think they'd take the de-frauding of its members a bit more seriously. Hope I can get in touch with the buyer providing they leave feedback and at least inform them of their error.

Just reported this. http://www.ebay.co.u..._fvi%3D1&_rdc=1 The usual story, no box, no receipt, no papers, poor backstory. I've left the plastic wrap on the braclet for 2 1/2 years though, just to keep it nice and shiny

Congrats on the Lum-Tec. A really great looking brand, which also listens to customers input when designing new pieces. I like the limited numbers too, makes it feel more exclusive. I love em, hears my M33 which I'm thinking of getting fitted with their stealth crystal.

Front and back I've got Bodyguardz (used Invisible Sheilds for years on many products), but recently discovered Bodyguardz. Seems to be just as tough, but they are a lot clearer and less textured than Invisibles which allow the Iphone 4 screen to 'pop' just that little bit more. For a bit of extra protection at work, I slip on an Element Formula 4 case http://www.elementcase.com/Formula-4-Black-w-Carbon-Back-p/api4-1310-kf00.htm Adds very little bulk and looks great.

Most evenings now.

Everything about this auction looks bad. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Panerai-Luminor-Watch-Black-Leather-Deployment-Strap-/190509538443?pt=UK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL&hash=item2c5b40dc8b I don't know enough about Panerai Reps to definatley call this one, but..... The date font looks cheap, so does the deployment, in fact it just doesn't scream quality to me. No box or papers, doesn't know if its waterproof!! Blue crystal makes it look expensive, come on!! The low bids surely hint that the bidders know its not Gen. Reported it anyway as it looks like someone is going to pay over the odds for what is probably a cheap rep

I'm interested in a double-sided coating F.F. and well done for looking into this service, for all of us ,'on this side of the pond' Will the coating company strip existing crystals or will that be down to us? Thanks again N.

Well, the replacement watch arrived yesterday and all is fine. The crown is absolutley solid on this one and feels very rigid on the stem, like someone did a proper job in fitting it. I could of repaired it myself, but the watch was brand new with a 3 year warranty. Why should I, when I can get it replaced. The crown was loose as soon as it was unscrewed off the tube, as it was quite wobbly on the stem. I was n't aggressive in turning the crown and am well aware of how gentle you should be when doing so, it was simply assembled poorly and not properly QC'd before leaving the factory.

Pardon me for wanting the right date displayed. I'll know better next time. I could give Greenwich a ring and see if they could set their atomic clocks to my watch instead. Would'nt need the crown at all then. "Has nothing to do with QC" Its got everything to do with it. Thats what its for, to make sure goods are fit for purpose before they are allowed to be sold.

Took delivery this morning of a watch I've been promising myself for a long time. I'd waited till I got back into work after a long spell of unemplyment before taking the plunge. Whats the watch, well, it was an MTM Special Ops Vulture. Not everyones cup of tea, but I absolutley love the looks, the materials and the technology that goes into one. I could n't care less about the claims that its used by the Military, a cheap marketing ploy IMO. I've always loved the look of this type of watch and own a couple of Trasers too. I digress. I opened up the box and saw that although the time was set right, the date needed changing, so I undid the crown, pulled it out to the first position and turned it to alter the date. It started changing a few times and then stopped. So, I pulled the crown out to the second postion to roll the date over by altering the time. The hands started moving, then moved intermittantly, then stopped altogether. I carried on turning the crown and the thing came off in my Hand!!!! The crown had unscrewed itself of the stem. Unbelievable Quality Control on what is, to me, a watch of conciderable cost. Suffice to say, it is already on its way back with the demands of a brand new replacement and hopefully all should be resolved by the middle of next week. So its not just the reps we have trouble with. I did n't even have it long enough to take some quick pics so I've grabbed some of the net to show you, if your not familier with this model. Heres a few specs:- DLC coated Titanium case and Bezel Swiss Made Ronda 509 With Large Date Window Carbon Fibre Dial 3 white Leds 12 UV leds Rechargable Lithium Ion battery for the Leds, charged via USB or mains charger Its a big MoFo too. Case is 47mm without crown and 18mm thick Sapphire Crystal with Ultraviolet Protective Coating ( Not sure what that does, probably stops you getting a tan )

Another vote for Bric from me too. Excellent service from him on my Omega UPO. Uk to Germany, service on an swiss ETA and back to UK in around 3 weeks, there was a postal strike going on at the time too, but no customs issues to worry about as its all done within the EU.

Just reported this, price is over
