Bugger.... I was looking at a breakdown of one of these.... I think it was RWI... might have been Goin in his section.. whoever it was was doing the same... and yes it looked similar to a Rolex bezel mod I saw some time back... Sorry mate I cant be more certain... but its about... I will try and have a think as to where I have been if I recall i will let you know... Try PMing Goin mate he will tell you for certain

Apart from the Rolex details for which I am no expert... That lume was directed by Stevie Wonder using Peter Griffins hands.... and the pearl looks much better on the site pics I looked at..

Or mugged !!! Out of interest mate ....Whats the RG colour of these like compared to gen colour? And whats your take on the overall quality of the rep plating? I assume these are Noob pieces? I havent come across RG from the noob maker before and would appreciate youyr take on it.. You need more wrists mate :) Also which of these APs wears biggest mate? I tried a diver but it looked like a DJ Mid on me.... :(

I like that pic of pic F .....

Oh Rob How could you say such disparaging things about this fine institution !! On a serious note though..... Sending within UK is pretty reliable especially by Recorded or Special Delivery. Making a claim is a simple form and is easy to claim.... but it does take time... (About 2 months) Any seller I am sure would keep any registered receipt until he could confirm receipt by the receipient..... or until he could see on the RM system it had been delivered. But even if not would keep it for a month.... (within UK sending) In the event of an issue either party can claim so the sender can let the other person have the receipt for filing or its details. The info on the receipt can prove sending to the addressee not just that it was sent.... the tracking number allows RM to check themselves that the item was sent to the addressee... However it is on the reciever to chase this with RM as the sender has given the tracking number.... and if a problem is identified then the sender should give the other party the receipt or fill in the claim themselves on behalf of the other party... it can be done on line and takes 5 minutes. Otherwise whats the point of sending something by recorded within UK... it is insured by default.... if a buyer notifies a seller that the item hasnt arrived which within UK by recorded should be the next day and at latest the day after.... then seller should at least send him a receipt.... either by scan or pic... IMHO thats reasonable.. Of course Rob is a different kettle of fish.... I can only imagine the number of items he deals with..... must be like its own sorting office !! I still think the first point of call is getting a copy of the receipt.... which any buyer should still have.... and at the same time talking to RM CS directly... But at no point am I suggesting a scam..... I just think thats reasonable and common sense on both the part of any seller or buyer...

Try River in TD section .... he can get some good buckles.... Especially Vintage rather than PreV ..... but both eitherway

I noticed this too..... I aint got a clue about how good it is .... but it looks decent...

Welcome mate... Nice to see some more guys from the motherland On the right side only another week to go.... What am I saying.... then its the next lot..

Unfortunately Ken .... a wife cannot give evidence to support any assertion you may make.... It wasnt my intention to drag Andy in because of his good looks..... but it was an advantage in case we needed to go public with a TV plea !! I mentioned Andy mainly because I know he knows the UK mail system better than most ....

Well your the best looking....... Or so you keep telling us !!

Mate..... The Mods dont get paid for this or do they do things on a full time basis.... Andy could be doing anything at the moment in the real world... Start by calling RM direct.... not the sorting office.... Customer services.... explain you bought an item you have been given this tracking number but have seen nothing since it was posted.... explain you tried emailing seller but have no response (might be on holidays etc).... and ask for their help... can they locate it on the system? What address was it sent to? When was it sent? If they are uncomfortable telling you direct then ask them if they can confirm if it was sent on the date you got tracking number? If it was sent to your address? etc ....when I have spoken to them before they have always been very helpful Once you have the info then PM Andy direct with the outcome of your discussion with RM customer services.... and overall concerns...

You need to call RM central not the sorting office.... they can access the details Go to FxrAndy.... explain all... he can contact the guy direct asking him for the info

So it UK given his profile.... recorded never gives tracking.... it only changes upon delivery and item being signed for.... If you call RM they can tell you address it was sent to as it recorded on the RM system when its sent.... Also the member should have the receipt ask him or Mod to ask him to send pic of the receipt.... The receipt shows the address the item was sent to and the tracking number to confirm it was sent to your address.... he should still have it given your PMs to him... if he doesnt then it wasnt sent as far as your concerned...and I am sure mods will say same thing.... Recorded gives you £39 or £41 insurance automatically..... for that amount you neednt mention Jewellery in any insurance claim... Just say Watch straps... that not unreasonable.. in fact you can say more or less anything.... thery dont ask for declaration at the post office.... the package is just automatically given the insurance when sent recorded... Though for reference SD is £500 ... Try PM to him asking for the pic of reciept... give him 24 Hrs then contact mods...

So it was sent in UK? If so where from.....?

So the tracking number works on the system..? Has there been any changes to it? What was method? Some tracking numbers only show 'In transit' you only get a change once the item has been delivered.... (Similar to Royal Mail 'Signed for') Have you tried calling Royal Mail? Sometimes they have more info than can be seen on thier website.... especially if its as above... Where is it coming from? Sometimes you get a track number... but in fact its only a customs number.... that basically means its not tracked and has been sent standard international... There is a big difference between a customs tracking number and a tracking number for Registered (EMS) or 'Signed for' I have had a standard sent package take a week I have had one that took 3 months !!

No mate.... the weave is very good..... I ended up with one in my hand... what your seeing is a QC pic and light variations.... If you see them both together in varying lights they are very very close.. If anything I might say if I were being really anal.... that the dial needs a slight coat of lacquer... but you really would not notice TBH unless you went looking for it... and had both in hand Another small issue again something you cant really see unless under close in your hand examination is the DW.... the gen is very smooth and rounded edges... the rep is slightly rougher but as I say it needs to be looked at closely to see.... and of course rep models do vary in consistency... so some are better than others... as with the dial typeface... if you are after one then make sure you talk to dealer before ordering explaining what you are looking for... and probably best going to bigger dealers who know if you kick one back they can still sell it... because they cannot send em back to maker especially the H maker !! So get an agreement to your conditions before ordering... And of course the CB is wrong... shouldnt be a limited edition.... However the V1 version is correct !! They never fail to get something different to the fisrt version..!!!

If you are worried about sending it to Zig or that distance then try Goin... he is close to you geographical speaking...

Thanks MIke.... I am struggling to find a pic at the moment.... gods knows why I know there are loads of them about... I will keep looking ...

I guess that guy is on his knees .... Thanking God

Oh you cant beat guilt.....especially as an old catholic boy Thanks mate..... Thats a great pic.. as always... I was I admit looking forward to seeing a wristie... it looks loads better in that pic rather than the ones in the link you posted yesterday.. That dial looks very crisp and is complimented by the subdial variation including how those hands differ too.......and the case finish lifts it even more... I think the blue strap you bottled it on might be very nice on that with the outer dial ring... :)

I was checking this for your pic today but you broke my heart.....

I recall a good rule of thumb for the non expert when identifying quick and nasty pics of an A7750 hi beat compared to a lo beat was the rotor bearing screw and assembly.... The High Beat was toothed where as the Lo beat looked exactly like the ETA version.... Is that still the case? Or is there now another more acceptable method?

Because its so good Could be in the Eyecandy section

Fantastic read mate.... I can see why it had to live.... but what of the Twist-o-flex? Wakmann tomorrow please.... in a serene setting me thinks I had thought it was the Medigraph at first glance.... I remember seeing one on eBay and wanted to know more...

I dont recognise that one.... Which Multi Chron is that.... I have only seen these ones with a big DW up at 12...?
