Jkay

Welcome back, Chris: I'm anxiously awaiting my DSSD v5 w/ real ETA from you <3 !!

Only my 2nd purchase ever, and the first one, from another dealer, was a bad experience (before i came to RWG I bought from ExactReplicas .. my Bell&Ross showed up with a quartz movement instead of an autowinder siiigh)

But you live and you learn!

WOW thanks for the web pages on split stems and the screw/button info!! Great stuff.

I started to disassemble this very nice rep, and realized I had no clue how to disengage the movement from the crown since the entire watch comes out of the FRONT of the solid case. I can tip the face and movement up slightly and SEE the battery vaguely .. but it's a stout, fat battery and it'll eventually have to come out. How do you disengage the crown and stem from a B&R??

thanks!

Credit cards I don't worry about as (at least with AmEx) their fraud protection is first rate...never had an issue.

Jkay has it down pat- Bank of America also offers a similar tool for their credit cards ( I use this while shopping online).

Speaking of Me and AMEX .. I received a phone call from a merchant in Texas a couple of years ago .. someone was trying to charge an entire solar panel array for their home on my AMEX ... LOL ... wasn't funny at the time

How do you feel about CC payments in the rep world?

I just posted this to a different thread, but here it is again: PayPal has a web tool which generates a single use only Mastercard CC number for you to use. To a merchant, it's a Mastercard number, but if it's stolen or abused .. it won't work since it was only valid for the single use of your legitimate purchase.

It's called the PayPal browser plug-in

This watch about fits my budget, but I am leery of paying by CC with someone I have never heard of, nor has anyone else.

PayPal has a web browser tool which generates a one-time-only use Mastercard CC number. It's still PayPal, but it looks like a Mastercard to the merchant. SO .. untrusted merchants don't get to see your actual CC numbers, or bank acct numbers, and if the number is "stolen" after your purchase, it can not be re-used for foul purposes ... it's a single-use-only number!

Tah Dah. It's called the PayPal Browser Plug-In

Brilliant. I'm going to try this tonight!

Why don't you wait until WM9's is made and buy theirs. You could order direct off them or use trusted collector BK on here. The last update on the WM9 SD was all new pre-orders have been cancelled because they have over 2500 orders already for the watch.

You are confused; the BK/WM9 release coming the next few months is a Sea-Dweller, *not* a DeepSea Sea-Dweller. Different watch.

Contact Andrew (Trusty)

Mine stripped over time and he send me new tubes and screws. I did buy something from him at the same time.

OK thanks, I was hoping that someone here sold parts as well as watches.

Perhaps Fastenal, or more probably one of the many watch materials houses where you would find bands and batteries, etc...

I do indeed have a Fastenal very near-by to me! Their web site is terrible tho, with each page taking almost 10 minutes to load!! I'll keep trying.

Thanks Again

One allen screw from each rubber strap has backed out on it's own and been lost .. can anyone point me to a place I can buy replacements? Hopefully before the bands fall off

BTW otherwise, this watch is BEAUTIFUL .. it has real screws on the back of the case, not fake stamped images of screws .. but the date wheel is black numbers on white bg so I know thats not right .. but I love it anyway! Gorgeous.

thanks in advance.
