  1. I have a Brietling Navitimer TT and assumed it was waterproofed. Went and took a shower with it the other day and, to my horror, found the crystal fogged up big time....I tried to blow dry it as suggested by the dealer, but that didn't worked, so I put it in one of my house's vents and that cleared it up after being placed there overnight. Question? Should I have it serviced? Any suggestion? I suspect the moisture came in thru the Slide Rule Dial and not from the pushers and crown. Thanks!!!!
  2. I'm thinking of getting a PP rep, which one should I get that is as close to the gen. I'm leaning more on the Complicated/Perpetual/Chrono models? Dealer? Thanks for any input!
  3. Wow....that looks sharp!!!! whats Angus web site and how much did you pay for it? Any new updates on the watch now that you have it for a week or so? Thanks!
  4. FAQ is good, but this does not qualify as an "UPGRADED" dealer category.....UPGRADED means they went out of their way and took the time to update their website. If this is time consuming for the dealers (I know its not impossible) and they will stick with the FAQ Option, then may I suggest that any new models they add should have the new standardized description and should be annotated as such!
  5. Damn, and I was drooling over Saswatch version (which is the same): http://www.rwg.cc/members/Sash-Panerai-Fer...nte-t19683.html I almost got tempted! Thanks for pointing that out. That's a same!!!!
  6. I don't believe the Breitling's crown screw down unlike the Rolexes! They have double gaskets if I'm not mistaken! You just push the crown back in!
  7. Hi Tony, I'm interested! have you communicated with Paul or anyone @WO-MArt yet? Could you share what you have so far? Thanks!
  8. Have anyone seen this yet? What do you think? http://watchwindersworld.com/bl10028-bentl...bph-p-2530.html
  9. I completely agree! No matter how the dealer source and ship their products, they ultimately are accountable to their buyer/customers. And as being suggested by Pug; "Truth in advertising" should be the creed of our dealers. I'm a newbie at this hobby and I made the assumption that I could trust what the dealers that are on this Forum, advertise or sell on their Web site. Now that trust is in question.... Ex. I ordered six watches from 1 of the dealers mentioned here....5 of those were ordered with service and waterproofing......as a newbie with no tools or equipment to test for these service, I trust that the dealer did it......now I'm not sure???? One of the watches, a Daytona have this as part of the advertisement: Crystal: - Sapphire crystal with laser etched crown at 6.00 but when I receive it, that part was missing.....so the question is, who's fault was that; dealer or his supplier? The problem I see with this scenario is Quality Control - its non-existent if its Dropped Shipped....and I'm starting to notice that with the batch I ordered. Two have been sent back already and two more are under observation with chrono function problems. That's 4 out of six that had problems....where's quality control?????
  10. Thanks a lot, Bill! - that's very illuminating! Should I believe the Swiss ETA 2836-2 claim and is it worth the extra $150, I mean for all the labor and such.
  11. Have you check the Rolex LV Green SS Submariner "PERFECT" model of Josh and Andrew? $150 difference, anybody have an idea why? They're both advertising same movement: Swiss ETA 2836-2, and almost same mod; Josh have added or spelled out mod on bracelet.

  12. Kinda sad that we haven't heard from them yet, but if ever they update their WEB Site/Store, we should all be patient because I know it would take some time. What with all those brands and models they advertise. One thing I'd like to see though, if they actually do this, is (my suggestion) to put a banner on their site saying so and also jumping in here and tell us about it......common Guys, where all waiting. We understand and we're always here as your loyal customers. just tell us exactly what we're buying!!! Thank you!!!!
  13. Now, that's scary!!! I've spent more than that in one order and had problems with 3 upon receipt! Ouch!!!! I attribute that to just batch problems.......now I'm really scared. Thanks, Pug for starting these. Us Newbies are learning a lot from these discussion! Although making me scared and worried. Those kind words from several/actually it seems like a lot of members here and the other site help me made the decision to order from this dealer!!! So now I'm curious if I got what I paid for!!!!! It shouldn't be this way!!! If these thread make these dealers changes their ways, then Pug should be honored for making it happen and have the balls to start this!!! "Josh.....sorry, I mean "Pug for President......!!!!!" Maybe you could clean up the mess in Iraq, too!!!!
  14. Sorry to hear that, Bill! I hope you get well soon! Oh! and BTW: Welcome to the Golden Boys Club!!!!
  15. Now I'm worried about this watch that I was planning to get, Now I'm not sure if this is just hype!!!: ROLSUB0014 - Rolex LV Green SS Submariner "PERFECT" - Swiss ETA http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main...products_id=797 and this: ROLYM006 - "Perfect" YachtMaster Rolesium Men's - Swiss ETA http://www.ttwristwatch.com/index.php?main...products_id=852
