Howdy fellow Texan! I'm up north from you in Texarkana. Be careful...this hobby will take over your life if you let it! I spend too much time reading these forums and looking at sites and pictures of watches. (At least that's what my wife says!) Have fun! Mike

Awesome...I did the exact same thing with mine yesterday, ordered a 20mm strap from a guy on Ebay in Florida for $13.50 delivered and got it Saturday. I was able to get the springbars popped off and put that baby on. I see that the top of the case looks like you stripped it down to a brushed look?...or is it just the way the photo turned out?

I'd stay home...call in with the "Panerai Flu"...chances are they won't know what it is anyways. I actually have mine delivered to where I work so no theiving neighbor snatches them!

$68.00

Bought a few asian 21j watches from a vendor not on this board (I don't think..) and got what has to be the biggest piece of crap I have ever bought! Ordered an Omega Seamaster 007 Edition and got one that looked nothing like what he advertised. The picture I ordered from that is advertised as "ALL PICTURES TAKEN OF THE ACTUAL WATCH FOR SALE" is the watch on the right. Look at the watch on the left, what I recieved with scratched up crappy bezel insert and compare to what he claimed I would get. Plus the caseback is standard Seamaster back, not even the "40 years of James Bond" caseback. Oh..and his resolution to this P.O.S....send me a new bezel insert and the caseback. See if you can identify the problems with this rep in the picture!

What is the crappiest rep you ever got? Was it your first?...did you get ripped?...was it before you gained knowledge in these forums? I imagine there are some good stories and pics for this topic! I'll start...Here is a TT Sub I ordered BEFORE learning more about reps here. Got it from a guy in Canada for $65 shipped. I ordered one with blue bezel/serti dial and ended up with black bezel. To correct the mistake, ( and it was a BIG mistake since I included a picture in my email!) he said he's send me a replacement bezel insert that I have to swap out myself. So here is my crappy TT sub..with horrid word alignment on the dial ( his picture showed a near perfect dial). Also note the fancy gold plating on the band that skips where the safety clasp flips down.
