Interwatch is not an authorized Rolex dealer. Regardless of the test results you were sent the minute that thing would have ticked out of the range you would be emailing them demending they service the watch. This is a simple matter of them avoiding trouble waiting to happen. And since you clearly stated that you would only buy it if it were within specs you gave them an out which is go to a Rolex dealer who are the only ones that will guarantee those specs.

And Fidestro you rock.

you are missing the point; i was told it was serviced.

hence it should run within rolex or cosc specs, or at least close enough. (for a 2002 watch)

If it was not serviced I prefered to have it sent to Rolex directly.

I have no problem when they state to have no clue what the state of the movement is.

Then you know you take a gamble. If it was serviced or tested then they could simply state what the results where and that they do not provide a guarantee that it will remain running like that. No problem.

The easy way out would have been to say that they would recommend to have it sent to Rolex for service.

I would have had no problems with that.

Deal will now be completed after service.

And yes it is Fernando, his communication has been fast.

I wanted to close a deal on a watch through interwatches (gen).

Since the watch (Rolex) has no papers I asked if it was serviced or if they would be willing to ship it directly to Rolex Geneva where I could pick it up. The feedback was that services was not required since all watches have been serviced.

So I agreed ot the deal in case the following conditions where met:

My conditions:

I agree to the deal when:

* The serial has been checked with Rolex, and the serial is not listed as stolen

* The watch has been serviced and is running within CSOC standards or Rolex specs.

* The watch has no damages, other then normal hairline scratches, which are not visible in the pictures

This was the feedback:

After testing the watch throughout the weekend, we came to the conclusion that it is not performing in accordance with CSOC standards and we understand that this may not fulfill your expectations.

In order to find a watch that will comply with your needs and requirements, we recommend you to buy a Brand New Watch directly from Rolex .

I have now asked to sent me the test results, which I will sent some of the guru's here for feedback.

But was I really that rude to ask to confirm that the watch would be running within specs after service?

rolex green envy..

ehh .. one...

love it, need a 1675. brilliant dial

wow.. congrats..

I needed all the strength i had not to mail Kurt when he put the ad up.

love it

Sigh...what's next- plastic movement spacers

:-))))))))))))))))))))))

Hmmm.. luckily i do not own the gen,,

ow shait.. I do..

Not the first owner, no warrenty.

Hmmm.. Will scream blood y murder when it happens to me.

But they will simply ignore that..

The IIc is a dress watch not a tool watch anymore.

Regress...

The YM II.

Designed by a burnt out crack 'ho wearing a Leopard Daytona for inspiration.

the clownmaster.

used to hate it. have worn it once.

love it now.

the new daytona..

Sweet, how noisy are these?

And where did you buy it?

this is on my which list:

Bad rep.

wok wok wokky and crown position..

rep and bad bad boy to sell this

edit add: Remembering my research into the 1655 .. it was meant for "Cave Explorers" and the orange hand was so they could tell ~ AM to PM hours (being deep underground).. so my thinking is that the 1655 was not meant initially to be used as "World Time" but for the specific purpose of simply night and day ..

just a thought anyway

Afaik that was exactly the idea.

. Rolex was about to die a slow death with the "cool crowd"

??

Are you nuts.. Rolex has had the strongest watch revival of al major brands during the last years.

hence all the pimp my ride bling bling hip hop watches

Great pics, nice work..

but ehh pssssst read my lips:

Never

They like it cold...

If anyone ever want to doubt how good the white EXP II is:

It rocks....

am not a vintage guy but that GW really speaks to me

Great idea for a thread Laz.

This is clearly showing what we envisioned: the SSD is a beast.

I'm like you, it is growing one me but before I really want to try it I'll wait for WM9 to produce one decent rep.

Your gen 16600 and the GW are more my cup of tea but maybe it's just a matter of time.

i've worn the gen, let's just say that with 180 and 75k (ok ok ok one or two more), I am to small for the watch..

I like this better then the daytona's.

so sweet, really nice

need the a gen to compare but it looks like a real improvement.

hopefully in V5 they change the design as well... because damn imho that thing is fugly.

I know two gys that backed out on a gen after a reserving one

lani, woopdawowie....!

well I need a 1655 and a GR, SR OR DRSD. Hmpf!

And Tribal, You are on fire!

Wow Stephane!

very very nice, congrats wear it well.

1655 the one watch I need to have......

here's a rotor shot of my Exp II 1570.

You're right on the stamping. It's too bold and deep compared to the gens.

Hm mm, so what I heard at a NAWCC meeting last fall may be correct. The movements are being repped.

wow we need to get one of those to The Zigmeister

freddy is right...
