  1. I am in the process of buying a 3714 watch head and need to get a strap.  I am getting a black with black stitching but want to know which one is the OEM style, the polished or matte finished strap?  Here are 2 pictures from Peter's site:

    Thanks for the help

  2. Which one is the closest to gen?

    I like the white dial but it doesn't look as pure white like the genuine one is. Any advice is much appreciated.

     

     

    Here are the links:

    or

    I would also consider the blue dial version if that is closer to the gen.

    Thanks

  3. I have one of those Aquatimers pictured

     

    I have one of these Aquatimers that's five years old and been in my safe for 4.5 o fthose years, it's gorgeous with a SWISS movement, anyone interested? It gets no wrist time.

    Is it the one you bought from me about 6 months ago?  I may be interested in buying it back..

  4. I am looking for a 25mm strap that tapers to either a 20 or 22 mm buckle/deployant depending on what the deployant clasp size is of the 288.

     

    Does anyone know off hand if the 288 clasp is a 20 or 22 mm?

    Does anyone have a good recommendation on where to buy a 25mm strap in the US?

     

    Thanks

  5. About 2 weeks back I bought something from an international seller. I got the tracking info and then a week later got my package. The only problem was it was not what i had ordered, it was basically junk. I have tried contacting the seller but of course nothing. Is my best course of action to open a PayPal claim?

    I am afraid he will win since he sent me tracking info and they say its hard to get your money back if they can prove they sent a package. Is this true?

     

    I would most definitely start a PP claim, and not always do they side with the seller if they provide a valid tracking number, I know they didn't side with me when i sold something awhile back to someone overseas, they claimed that what they received was just an empty box it even though it wasn't, and I lost.  Has that happened to anyone else?? People are so dishonest these days.

    Hope everything works out, Good Luck

  6. Just wanted to post some pictures of my new watch since I may not be able to enjoy it for very long as the wife is very [censored] at me for buying another watch!  This is by the nicest rep I have owned, it was 2nd on my grail list behind PAM 204, it will tough to let this go.  Anyway, here is some pictures:

  7. Yeah so USPS confirms that they are awaiting payment from him, but USPS doesn't and wont know if he pays since their tracking part is done and the French Post doesn't have any info online yet.  My biggest concern is that he does have or will have the watch and has not responded to my emails for the last week now, it doesn't feel like I am going to get my cash and apparently Chronopost is very unreliable, I may not get the watch either. I may be completely out of luck, but I guess I did learn a couple valuable lessons in this whole ordeal.  I am still holding out hope that my watch will show up sometime!!

    Thanks for all the help guys

  8. Yeah I am going to give it at least another week after hearing bad Chronopost is and how slow they are. Sounds like it should show up but who knows when, I am more worried about the other guy not communicating with me either, not a good sign in my book, but I'll give it some more time as well, also the package i sent doesn't have any tracking info on the French Postal Site, but I'll call USPS tomorrow and figure it out.

    Does anyone know how Chronopost delivers in the US?  

  9. Yeah, I am not sure if it was delivered to the wrong city or just a sort facility where the USPS drops off the packages to then be delivered by another courier system in France.  It says it was delivered in Le Mans (not the city he lives in) which has a sort facility and I know the package he sent me also came through the Le Mans sort facility.

    Here is a screen shot of the tracking information:

  10. Hey, 

    I recently put up one of genuine watches for trade on the the gen forums out there, and I got an offer from a guy in France, I am located in the US so I was hesitant at first, but after a lot of email communications we worked out a deal, my watch for his watch + cash.  I sent my watch via USPS global express guaranteed, and tracking shows it was delivered to a different city, so I was very nervous, as was the other guy.  So we talked via email and he was very adamant about me not starting a thread in the forum we did the trade, which seemed off, since he was accusing me of scamming him, if anything it should have been me that was worried about the bad press on the forums, since according to him, I had scammed him (Now it feels like he scammed me). Anyway, he sent his package via Chronopost and told me it would be here by Wednesday, which it wasn't and it is now Sunday and still no package, I also have not heard from the guy in 4 days now, after many attempts of emails.  I am starting to think that I am the one that is getting ripped off, not only does he owe me money but I have not received the watch yet either.  Something just seems off but I don't want to escalate the issue just in case his watch is in fact on the way and Chronopost is just very slow, also there is no real way for me to verify that he did/didnt get the watch, since it says it was delivered, and by the lack of communication in that last few days it feels like he did get it.  Basically I'll be content if I just receive his watch and not the cash, because at least that way I am not out 3k just 1k, since my watch was worth about 3k and his was worth about 2k. 

     

    I guess I started this thread for a few reasons:

    1. Has anyone used Chronopost to ship from France to the USA?  If so, how reliable is it?

    2. Should I file an insurance claim on my USPS package, that he claims he did not receive?

    3. Any other suggestions on what to do?

     

    I guess I have learned my lesson about trading with people overseas, especially with so much money at stake.  

     

    Thanks for any help

  11. I have received a modded SMP today and tried to do a dial swap on it but the dial spacers accidentally came out and I am not skilled enough to mod new ones to make this work right since the dial is a gen and the movement is a eta 2824 so it needs modification to work.

    are there any US modders than can help me? If not I am going to have to put it up for sale, as it is an awesome package but is separated right now.  I just wear the watches, I don't fix them!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks
