First place to start is with makers. Contact them with serial number just email customer services. Insurance companies tend to inform them of serial numbers that are subject to a claim. They can also confirm they won't tell you but can confirm the name of the first owner or last service etc not always but sometimes so if guy says he had it from new you and where he bought it then they can confirm if that is correct. Also depending where you are and he is you can do a local crime search with the local police etc Or just by going on gen forums you can post the same thread say in the Glashutte sub section or some forums have stolen watches listed. However it's easier to research reference of the seller more often than not so start there too

Angling

I cant recall ever seeing a Swiss 6497-2 in a 177.... So +1

That would be a good idea....bid a stupid amount .... that will win then play him at his own game

Did you choose option 1 of the payment choices? If so then that happens a lot.. On a general note... Generally guys reading this if you want PP the easiest way is to follow the method set out by angus in his section... you need to have so many posts and other criteria etc etc You should check you meet these requirements before asking... He has a form on his section under PP that you need to complete and send him The reason is that so many guys have made claims and disputes in PP and even referred to reps in the claim so you can understand that he is weary of doing it for all

Super luminova is a brand name ..it was a Japnese company that created it and is currently sold under license through RCTriTec under Luminova AG... There are many luminescent brands and methods of luminescence for watches... So dont assume because it is bright that it is a superluminova lume.... you can get many different makes and types of lume using differing chemical processes... Tritium is still used but mainly only seen in tubes on watches ..like DeepBlue use etc You can also get stronger Superluminova lume that is produced by Luminova AG.... Some lumers use this and it is stronger and longer lasting than superluminova although it is made by luminova.. The basic difference is the patented method of making and chemicaks used like strontium aluminate.... Then of course it all started with radium back in the early 1900s... I still think of those poor women that used to apply the stuff and ended up with radium poisoning from licking the brushes to a point to apply to watch dials God rest em However a good source for understanding lume is the Glow in the dark forum... which is all things lume The point is dont assume that because it has excellent lume it is either superluminova or made by luminova AG Like all luminscent makers you can get a range of colurs in the range and can create colours by mixing those available.. you can also see gen brands with bespoke lume ... say like OP ho have thier own specially formulated lume made by Luminova AG.... this is more noticeable in their more recent models with 'Dirty Lume' or 'Old Radium' panatone Another thing to note is that Superluminova lume can be affected by various methods of application by brands and modders etc... this can be done in the mix used or the type of admixtures used like coluration, varnishes etc etc...

I seem to recall it was a kids show sort of like the muppets...

Looks well mate.... I always preferred the look of these leather NATOs on a bund.... but thats my personal preference

Faggots (The food )

Welcome mate... Have a word with TB above..he will have something nice for your second piece..

Faggots

wishful

I remember buying some of that a few years ago for my son to use .... he never did......I think at the time it was just a fad for him to say he had some.. though I could still use them I suppose if I saw somewhere I could use them... assuming the bitcoins I bought are still there..

Angus did confirm the pics were not final product and there will be some slight adjustments to what you see... Those prices I gave earlier were direct from Angus...so no need for guessing

Innuit

LOL

It was originally listed as Pre-Order ...PO price was $298...after PO it will be $318.. The reason it got listed first as pre-order and now as Pre-view is because the maker couldnt confirm release date...however that should be confirmed by 15th Plus remember that there are discount and reduced price watches and ladies designer scarves available on orders for Xmas...

Toasted

There were three companies that made Dogma watches 1 in WW2 for German forces (though this was the same as 3 but under or rather comsidered a different comapny because of its association with the Nazis etc) ....1 that was made by the Reida comapny and 3 by Arthur Dorsaz & Co The 3 sued the 2 in the fifties and they stopped making watches with that name.. What you have is from the 3rd maker ..Arthur Dorsaz they were a Swiss company There is loads of info about these watches and the maker mate...but if you are struggling searching the word Dogma...start with searching the maker Arthur Dorsaz Whether you can find specific watch info will be hit and miss mate ... Good luck

Must be a problem at my end....

I cant see your pics mate

Sunny is doing an AR run.... I believe he has one place left but either way contact him mate... Other than that you can get AR from usual guys/modders but none I know look accurate however it aint an obvious detail IMHO Domi, LeWiz, Vac, PBDad, RBJ, (Uwe), Goin, etc etc mainly depends on where you are as AR is about on par...though I find Domi's the strongest.
