  1. i dont want to name the dealer yet because i am sure he will refund me all my money as he should. He told me he is sorry this happened. Many other members had given him great feedback , thats why i chose him, i dont want to blame him for no reason, we are people and [censored] happens, now lets see what will happen from now on.. I will let you know how things go and i i get refunded. Bad thing is the inconvenience caused, now i am left with no watch to wear, my upo lacks a springbar and they coming this week..
  2. Well a week or so ago i ordered from an eu based dealer a blue brand new tag aquaracer daydate chrono. I paid 150gbp for it which was about 310usd. watch arrived fast ( as i asked the dealer for) but as soon as i unwrapped it , i came across this "raped" watch. As you can see the bezel has a deep nick at 14mins that shows the watch was bumped somewhere.. Also the caseback seems like it was opened with a sledgehammer and a nail , so scratched! nothing like new... Third flaw, one endlink was so bad machined that it was sticking to the link and could not move smoothly as it should. As a rep i did not like the quality of the bracelet and clasp , very light and poor, cheap feeling. I asked the dealer why he sent the watch in such a bad shape and the answer i got was this: "sorry about this.. i had to send it out fast as you did not want the the Corum I did not check it.. normally they are perfect. please send it to me. il check and send 1." So tomorrow morning i am sending this beauty back to the dealer i got it from. I will ask him for a full refund + the expenses of sending the watch back to him. It was clearly not my mistake. I am right am i? Thanks to a friend i found a cam so on to the pics:
  3. porno reverso! great gesture from our member that gave away his watch. Enjoy it and dont let it run off power reserve
  4. amazing..... i wish i could send you mine.. did the buyer get the parts or did you get them?
  5. tuxedo means dial with stripes like corduroy, vertical stripes
  6. my vote to sql-plc Cartier before it was chewed by Ola very nice picture! Congrats to everyone that participated! I wish i had my camera so i could join you , Good luck everybody!
  7. hi, i am thinking of building my own, where did you get thay date wheel?
  8. unbeleivable!!!!!!!!!! this is art.. the guy is so skilled and talented.. Thanx for sharing
  9. jewels are used to compensate friction on posts, gears and other moving parts of the watch. I am not so aware of how a quatz mvt works in detail but i am sure that reducing the friction in its moving parts contributes to the good timekeeping and reliability
  10. i would love to participate in this! +1 for unbranded or cheap gen watch!
  11. wow , very nice interview vic! thanx for sharing
  12. check out the sales section i have a genuine sector anadigital chrono for sale: http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...mp;#entry323369 thank you
  13. i really dont think that a bus passenger could ever afford buying a gen big pilot... so i think it hits the wrong target group... very creative though!
  14. it doesnt have bevelled gears nor swan neck (isnt it supposed to have?) and how on earth this manual mvt can be more expensive than a swiss 7750 chrono mvt?
  15. i think you forgot to lume the minute hand on the fiddy or 183 ( top right on the second picture) at least it looks like..
  16. better save the money and buy a good gen watch
  17. How about the new BMW 335i convertible with hard top? Twin turbo almost faster than the m3 e46 and a lovely handling.. think about it..
  18. mmm now your strap must smeel really nice.. nice collection! wear them well.
  19. i really enjoyed the videos.. it will be too difficult to replicate this mvt. I think the balance wheel is bigger than the seagul, also as previously stated monopusoir is a big problem. Not to mention the bridges and the higly finished surfaces of the mvt. It just looks amazing.
  20. i am a bmw addict and this baby rocks... spin those wheels euno!
  21. its very nice indeed and subtle. What model you had? i love 911. You sold it?
