+1 for that. We need to know to avoid them.

Fair enough, point taken. Thats why I asked Thanks to Zig for the pictures also. Really interesting. I've not heard of Phong does he deal from a website or trade through forums. I really want to avoid him.

I've got an A7750 watch on it's way at the momment. Is it possible for an amature to oil their own? Are there instructions on this forum on how to do it?

What on earth do you think he is going to do to you? If your OP is accurate it sounds like you got unlucky and got a bad watch. I guess sometimes that just happens.

On the face of it this sounds like a pretty poor product. Can the dealer do anything? Have you asked them?

A gentleman answers. The OP is correct, there are some very different (read opposing) opinions on wm9. Maybe this was the wrong section but it's good to have the forum's opinion on whether this dealer/modder combination are worth the extra money. It's nice to see that the general consensus is yes, they are worth it. That's valuable knowledge to noobs like us.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say to me here. That I should be concerned? You just enjoy flicking my balls?

You've just described the last week of my life.

I'm looking for a good quality PO42 and I would be grateful of the forum's opinion on this example: http://www.jpc8118.com/omse10011-seamaster...242-p-1431.html The linked watch has an "eta" mvt, AR and the correct outside bezzel shapping (full square). Apart from the incorrect face logo (for which I still cannot find a perfect watch) can anyone spot any other tells on this watch that distinguish it from a gen?

Thanks to ChiefWiggam for the very comprehensive response. But I do appreciate all the other responses. I think I maybe just have the fear as it's my first time. The tracking system is now working again but it hasnt changed for a week when it "left origin country". I've only waited a week. I guess I'm just nervous.

any help?

Would a face/bez swap onto a GST chrono Ti work?

Has anyone here ever had a parcel intercepted at customs in the UK? My tracking number no longer works and only an error is returned. What are the consequences if the parcel is stopped in the UK, what experience does the forum have.

also a 42 with the right logo. does anyone have any details?

Sorry to self bump but does anyone have a view on this?

Thanks for the replies. Its so hard when it's on someones wrist to get a proper look. I can confirm NO hands were moving. Getting quite into this hobby and hoping to spot a rep in the wild. Of course I won't say anything. Just want to test my skills.

New boss at work. Wearing a black speedmaster chrono. (I can't tell you a model) I can't get a really close look but the clasp looks wocky and the dial finish seems a bit cheap, can anyone help me with any obvious tells for this watch? Question1: Should the second hand be rotating all the time or only when the chrono is activated? Question2: The clasp while looking insecure and a bit tinny has the Omega symbol in a raised square, is the correct?

Thanks. Perhaps there is no way of finding out without risking the >$130 on the low grade rep. (I have the 7750 version on order). I'll email those websites and see what they say.

Hi the most acurate version of the 3717-02 (spitfire chronograph) has one big flaw it has an incorrect back on it. (Writing is wrong + wrong font, wrong layout, see Toad's excellent review for more details) example here http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=179 However on this cheaper version the back is (visually) much more acurate: http://www.jpc8118.com/iw02109-pilot-chron...ing-p-4695.html Does anyone know if it would be possible to switch the case backs?

Thanks for the information. How long did yours take to arrive? (i'm in the EU so it might be different I guess). I am a big fan of white faced watches and this is a really stunning example.

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. I can't see your sig, perhaps because I'm a noob? I'll hunt around for the link. I'm a keen photographer so i'll post pics of the 3717-02 when it arrives (wherever I get it from in the end). Another real noob question: I am only really interested in highly accurate reps even if they are a bit more expensive. Is there a sub forum or set of dealers specific to this market? Thanks again

Hi first timer here. Ive seen this rep advertised on a site called puretime. Can anyone tell me if that is a reputable site and if the products sold there are of the same quality as the reps pictured in this thread. Beautiful watch, would very much like to order one.
