mr mg

that's great news mate. Glad it worked out for you. Fair point Carl. I thought you were having a go at the man, who was obviously distressed. Like you, I've bought a couple dozen now, off 3 of our 'trusted' with pretty mixed results. They've each communicated well, but insisted on different postage charges. Though I'm not that demanding, so perhaps I need to go in bargaining more strongly all's well that ends well huh. all the best, matt

dont you think that's a bit rough Carl? Obviously he's been stung for not asking the question. The fact is that he has been charged a fee without consent! I would expect that a dealer would disclose this to start with and that given the timeframe there would be no cost to the buyer other than the shipping to China. Even that I believe is a bit cheeky given the DOA rate from some sellers. One dealer on here I have had to return a perfect 10 out of 10. I think you should let them know this is not acceptable Whoever and demand that you want to be reimbursed -at least through your next purchase. Other than that, we need to get serious abou leaving feedback for other members. and check out Joshua's new QC policy

+1 for that great set up and innovation mate. Love the office. Making me think it's time for a refurb

great to hear mate! Glad the patience has paid off. I'm about to post one of mine off for another fix -hopefully with similar success to you. Hope it makes it back now too. thanks for the update matt

hey Whoever, I've shipped back to that dealer many times, and multiple times for the same piece in some cases... I have found that it varies as much as what the others have said, but on adverage it takes about 6 weeks I would say. Of course it depends on what service you paid for. Did you send it registered so that you can trace where it's at?? It doesn't seem to take that long to get there. The hold up seems to be when it arrives in China. But in saying that, of all the times I have shipped back there, I am yet to lose a watch. best of luck mate, mg

very sad news for you Red. What a legacy he has created. My prayers are for you, and your family.

ha ha, I agree Lhooq, the plastic case would be way too brittle nice work TeeJay; about time RWG had some greek mythology in one of it's threads. Perhaps watch lovers see themselves in the reflection of their watches...

maaate, thanks so much for the reply! That 48 wears so huge!! So it all comes down to the coatings then hey... It's interesting that a simple coating would increase the price by so much? But it's one of those watches that just has to be spot on, or I know I'll regret it later. thanks again Chrono for the info and the great pics, I appreciate it!

Hi Admin team, sorry for leaving this as a post; I'm not sure how I'm meant to contact you?? I had joined some time ago and my subscription was coming out of paypal monthly. I've just noticed that I am no longer a vip member though? I haven't cancelled my subscription as I am grateful for all that RWG community has offered me and feel a responsibility to contribute. Im' just wondering if the payments could otehrwise have been cancelled and that if this has happened to me, then perhaps it has for others also?? thanks, matt

Hi guys, I have spent about 12 months pouring over the dealers sites and of course RWG to try to understand the differences between the various versions of the syland avenger black steel. I fell in love with photos that Lani put up (breit porn) in a welcome message when I joined up here ages ago, but the Nav. was always top of the list! I am going to buy off Joshua again, as he's always done a great job with the post sale assistance etc. I haven't asked him yet about the models, and know this is an obvious thing to do. I'm not being lazy, but just want to understand what I am asking for. I don't like regrets If any of you can tell me your experience or understanding between these models, I would be greatful. And yes, I have read the reviews I can find here in a search. Although they don't always seem to come up in the searches (probably not using it correctly...). These are the 3 I'm looking at; http://www.1-pc8838.com/0blsa10004-skyland-avenger-chrono-pvdru-black-a7750-28800bp-p-5774.html cheaper. Looks the same as v2 dial and chronos, embossed numbers etc. Names a different coating?? http://www.1-pc8838.com/blsa10018-skyland-avenger-chrono-black-steel-limited-p-5159.html infamous v2 http://www.1-pc8838.com/blsa01004-blacksteel-limited-super-avenger-pvdru-7750-p-8061.html and the 48mm dial Sorry to ask basic questions, that have no doubt been answered before. But I'm just getting more confused the more I look. Especially as the specification conventions seem to be inconsistent... thanks mg

great thread alright! I put mine on because it made me laugh and we can do with a bit more laughter in the world. After reading this thread though, I'm going to find something I can identify with a little more. thank you all for sharing. its great to hear how meaningful some of your av's are!! mg

ooh nooo, I just checked the link you provided mactower (thanks), but that's not the item I was speaking about!!! Check this one out ~it's amazing!!! http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110602037427&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

sorry lads ~what a tool, leaving a post without the link it's unbelieveable I reckon. Would look great in either of those places, or in the office!! mg

came across this on ebay -never seen one before?? Looks like great quality. Have any of you seen one before?? enjoy! mg

i wear my reps when having a swing -including the 7750's. Great way to get a good charge I haven't had any probs and they seem to hold up to the treatment as well as any of my gens.

Cheers wedge. I guess if I was an Omega ambassador, then I'd wear two as well!

hey lads, just watching the Today Show (breakfast tv) here in Australia and Buzz Aldrin -the second man on the moon was wearing a watch on both wrists under his blazer . Pretty impressive. Now I couldn't see what they were for the angle, but I'm guessing he has a Omega sponsorship or something??? matt

check out Joshua's site, he's got some good PAM's. I'm just deciding which one to buy myself??? matt

Hey mate, I haven't ordered from him in about 12 months, but do know that his website URL has changed again. It's something like www.pc-1.com I'm guessing he has a new email addy to go with it?? matt

Hey Ektelon, I am not a big poster either (don't often have much to offer), but any man who can wait for 2 years to start purchhasing must be a patient man. I agree with the previous comments; it's worth asking the mods for some help. The security you were looking for when you went to a "trusted" dealer is that same security we all look for here. You sound like a very reasonable bloke, so I canot see any offence being taken. I guess it's all of our responsibility to keep the forum and dealers that are endorsed honest. wishin you all the best! matt

too true mate. People like me, who don't have the tech know how to contribute to much in the way of threads, other than a token comment now and then, find this place like gold! It would be interesting if there was a "read" count, to compare with the "posts" count. I think it would give a great indication of how many people are lurking... thanks to all you high-functioning members!!! We appreciate it. matt

just an update: It ended up selling for $570-USD I guess someone just got pumped...

went for 230GBP -that's insane... Don't people know what they are paying for???

thank you everyone, your responses are humbling. I apologise for coming on so strong. I think I brought with me and transfered what I had seen and experienced on other forums. Now I understand that the mods are actually leading the culture on this forum, rather than inhibiting it. Nanuq, your reply demonstrates real leadership, thank you. I appreciate the time, genuiness and generous way you responded to me and my concerns. I'm sorry to have been so outspoken, wen I was obviously over-reacting. Happy Easter to you all. matt
