Why is it wrong?

What type of lasers are you using?

Like I said before, either the watch is HUGE or someone needs a big gun & a big knife (might as well throw a Corvette in there too)!

Either that's one BIG watch, or you need to carry a large knife AND a large gun (if ya' know what I mean, wink-wink, nudge-nudge)!

Would it be a genuine company or a replica of one?

Holy damn, is this a NICE watch! DO NOT DELAY. BUY NOW!!! It's been posted about before, but here's the deal: Band is very heavy & solid & feels great out of the box. A little cleaning & a baby oil bath & it's butter. The only additional work was to radius some sharp edges on the clasp (2 minutes with a Dremel) and re-size (with a hammer, Vise Grip pliers and a paperclip - no B.S.). The clasp & deployant work fine. The letters & logo are deeply engraved. "P" and "O" are larger than the rest of the letters in PLANET OCEAN. The watch head is very nice. Well polished, 120 click bezel, rep-issue pearl, painted (thermographed?) orange numerals, blue tint on crystal (not really anti-reflective it seems). Caseback is nicely finished, again with the larger "P" and "O". Lume is Nicolas Cage (i.e. gone in 60 seconds). Watch is delivered very securely wrapped & packed. 'Came with a velvet gift bag & a cleaning cloth. 'Wound the watch and it's lost only 5 seconds over a 24 hour period. Nice. The flaws I have found with this rep: Are you kidding me? This watch was DELIVERED for 65 quid!!! I'd be a complete and total tool to even suggest that there is a flaw in a watch like this that cost little more than a Timex! My pics suck, but a thread without pics sucks even more!

I wouldn't expect someone to rehash the problem. It's not in the style of the board. Dealer is gone. Done. You can prob find them with some research, but if they've been booted, it was for a good reason.

Very nice! Makes me think of this:

Very cool. How do you achive such consistent "placement"? Do you have some type of jig that you slide back and forth like on a CNC?

Sorry, but I'm not buying it any more (literally). For example, some complications sell for $200K, but they are "made by hand and take several thousand man-hours to produce". OK, so one watchmaker spends a full working year building one watch. How much dos he get paid for that year? How much of the rest of the money goes to advertising & intermediate profits? Gen mfgrs. hate the rep industry because it shows how ridiculously overpriced the gens are. Screw the logos and branding; buy a good homage that is made with a true ETA (or other) mvmt. and you've got a watch that is as good as (or in some cases better than) the gen. Take a gen Rolex & swap the movement for a good-quality non-Rolex one. It'll look the same, tell time the same, and might even require LESS service. It's all hype and brand posturing, IMHO.

Is that DE-clension or BE-clension?

Maybe a database error. This also happened a few days ago to me with RWI, then Geek the next day.

I usually check all of boards when I'm on break but haven't been able to get on Geek yet. Is anyone else having problems? I created a new account to test & got an e-mail, etc. but cannot log in. Rob
