Its got the wrong dial, needs CGs trimmed, great base for mods.

Does the bezel insert & pearl need to be replaced with an aftermarket?

Current prices for these crowns are _____?

Actually you can get the same stuff that you can get from the dealers here.

The prices will be on par with Josh/Andrew, but at the very least you can hold it in your hand.

You can even get the HBB but it will cost you double what you'd pay.

A swiss swan fiddy will run you about the same price. An ultimate PO will run about the same.

It really all depends on what you're looking for.

For the most part...its rubbish...but there are dealers there that have quality stuff. Just got to know where to go.

second attempt with a different strap...

So here's my original 183 strap that I bleached and distressed.

Near the lugs you can see what the original color of the strap was...

So I've dwindled my collection and now in the process of building it back up...

I have a custom piece coming in tomorrow, but today The Legend has arrived...

Fitted it with a distressed strap and off we go...

So anyways...I went thru the noobie experience of going crazy and buying 10 watches in 1 month time...

No watch was under $188...all swiss, etc..

Fortunately I have sold most of everything (Omega PO, LV Sub, 3 DJ's, 186, EXPL II) ...and now contemplating future buys...

I have two more PAMs coming..Rose Gold 147 and 111...One is waiting at the post office

ready to be picked up...How come they never ring my doorbell??

So any suggestions...oh...don't say HBB cuz I tried that and I'm waiting on a refund...

Oh also the omega is a genuine smp...I've had it for many years and I have never serviced it and its a pleasure to wear every time I put it on my wrist...and I've been contemplating picking up a smp just

so i can compare side by side at my leisure....Any suggestions...what's the best SMP rep out?

started this morning off with a 187....ending the day with a 183 cuz my new straps came in, yippee...

by the way flavor....impressive collection and display...

Thanks guys for the advice...All duly noted...I definitely don't want to screw any dealers over

nor any of the forum members...I would love for this to just be settle quietly/quickly...There is more

to it but I don't want to get into it here, not yet at least...I will allow him to make good and give

him some more time to get back to me...

thx for the input

I am also having issues with preorder HBB rose gold version...I preorder with Angus at the inflated price before Josh/Andrew decided to low ball him by selling below retail.

I received it with many major problems...none cosmetic...my watch had a missing second hand on the subdial,

and a faulty minute hand...and when i say faulty i mean it was just flopping around like not on properly...

I contacted Angus and he immediately apologized and told me to send it back for a full refund...

During transit we were in good communication, but the watch was delivered to his watchsmith

Wang Do Ba and signed for on Jan. 4, at 9:53 AM. tracking no: EQ932729285US

Since then I have sent 3 emails to him and no response. So far I'm out $498...that is $478 for the watch $20 for shipping.

My last email informed him that if I got no response that I was opening up a dispute via Paypal.

Hopefully this prompts him to get back to me. I don't want to badmouth him at all and give him a chance

to make this right...but I wanted to put my situation out there.

Also I was told the first batch were faulty anyways...the maker of the watch has admitted that the chrono needles and

such were no good.

Any suggestions??

As a consensus, yes, Admin, I think it should go back too. It would be one thing that it is the wrong model and that you can live with the mistakes, but it seemed that some of the mistakes, like previous posters said, may be a tad significant, and considered with the price that was paid on this piece, if I were you, I would. You just have to ask yourself, can you live with those mistakes day in and day out, based on the price you paid, on a model that you did not want. If not, then I would say contact the dealer and get the return going. good luck.

Hey guys...

I was wondering where I could go to sell off some of my reps...

I need to free up space/money for other watches??
