  5. BCE V3?

    in The Breitling Area

    Posted

    I'm guessing I sound like a real noob now, but what do you mean with cartel websites? The websites of the trusted sellers in this forum? I've mailed precious time but couldn't find a BCE with leather strap there. If the SS is any good I guess it will work just fine though.

    Regards,

    I prefer buying a rep and then just wearing it, I am tired of modifying and upgrading reps, let's hope they get this one right from the get go.....

    If you go the modified/franken route, why not just get the PO rep already on the market, as we all know it can take gen parts already? :)

    x2... after all at the end of the day no matter what you do to the watch it will still be a REP!!!

    I seriously doubt any new YM from the cartel can top the BK/WM9 YM... but I could be wrong. If you want a true master piece I recommend saving for the BK/WM9... if you don't want to spend that kind of cash on a new one, check the sales corners as they do come up from time to time (how I got mine - worth every penny!!!)

  25. Whats wrong with some common sense and courtesy!

    Mike I hear ya about common sense and courtesy... i recently had a similar experience, but on the other side of the spectrum... I'll explain as I think it goes well with this thread....

    There are several watches I have been looking for. Last week a member PM's me and says he has one of the watches I want. Now this member is NOT a noob, if fact, I know he has made some great contributions to this forum and is a regular poster. So I get a price quoted north of $575.00 USD. I tell them that is a little more than I was looking to spend, but send me a few pictures (how many people would not want to see pictures when you are possibly going to spend well over $500.00 on a rep?!?!?). So a few days go by and a get no response. Thinking that maybe they did not get the PM, I send a separate PM letting them know I will be away for a few days but please send me a few photos. Again no response. A few days later I see the watch up for sale in the Sales Section for $170.00 LESS then what I was quoted and by the time I saw it it was already sold!!!

    Please keep in mind although I am not as well versed as By-Tor, The Zigmeister, TT and some of the other senior members, I am by no means a noob. I have been a member of RWG for almost 4 years and have supported the site via upgraded memberships for most of that time. I have also donated to RWG outside of my membership when the forum was hurting for money. Now don't get me wrong, I am not complaining that the watch was sold for $170.00 less then what I was quoted... I understand that everyone has the right to sell their watch to whomever they want and ask whatever price they want. What bugs me is that all I asked for was a few photos (nothing specific) that would be required to sell the watch anyway in the Sales Section, but because I did not get a response I missed out on a great piece :( Had they just sent the photos I am sure we could have worked out a price between what I was quoted and what it went for in the Sales Section.

    I understand people's issues when it comes to selling watches (esp to noobs - I have sold over a dozen of mine on this forum and have had to deal with the zillions of questions, and requests for this and that) but I do think there needs to be more of a balance with buyer and seller. Had I just gotten a reply that said "Here are the pics and I can offer to you at price X. If I don't hear from you in 24 hours I am going to post in on the Sales Section" I would have bought it... all it would have taken was a courteous reply :)

    BUT stuff happens :rolleyes: ... I hold no ill-will to this member, and I hope they understand that. If this is the worst thing that happens to me this weekend I will consider myself a lucky man!!!

    I feel much better now

    Have a great weekend RWG!!!
