What's the back look like. Noobs all had the same # (think 8520). Looks like could be first jf runs without silver outline in numbers.

Which version is that?

Maybe the link is kinda stuck or needs some oil? try taking it off and putting back on. 

I have a noob version and it's not like that. 

thanks for that c888

welcome , glad I remembered that post. 

Here's a tutorial on it:

http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=106451

From R2D4 on RWI:

Misaligned Markers? Not lining up with the Indices? No worries. Easy fix. Takes 5 minutes. 

1. Tape up your case.
2. Get a couple of exacto blades and a bench knife.
3. work around the four lugs, start with one blade, lift. Add another blade, repeat. Use the bench knife once you get a good clearance. Boom Pops right off.

Don't worry, it's a friction fit cap. I will go back on tight!








If you have a misaligned marker continue to 4. If not, go right to 5 to realign the bezel assembly.

4. Bust off that super glue and unscrew your misaligned bezel marker. Fix it, tighten back up and put on a dab of glue. Done.

5. Remove the tape and line up the 6 and 30, look at 12, see if you like it snap it back on. Done!

Tested and confirmed on V1 and V2 Noob factory. I am sure the H Factory model will will work too.

Enjoy

I've been thinking about getting a g-shock also for my outdoor adventures.

Didn't realize the range of models til I went to check them out. 

3 models that I liked were the 

G-shock GA100MC

the aviation A100-1A3

and the MT-G

So costs would be what's on his ebay store - 10%. And we'd save on combined shipping? How much would the shipping costs be for us Canadians?

Think it's kind of rude to call out someone's rep/gen? Unless its an a$$hot that's trying to flash their rep as gen.

If I spot a rep I usually keep it to myself or just talk about it among my friends. Like Cromag said, I think collectors pay attention to detail but won't necessarily call out a stranger for wearing a rep.

Besides I think its just us and other WIS that look so closely at what watches people are wearing.

On the MB pen thing... Is that proper to "brag" about your rep and its cost over someone's special gift, especially in a business meeting setting?. Heck, I use rep pens, but always use a gen MB for important moments.

Besides their economy, which is still growing, just not at double digit rates now. I think its the over abundance of brands now.

It doesn't surprise me considering the massive increase of availability and marketing of luxury watches in China over the last few years. Its just leveling off now. Brands that are low-mid end are popping up everywhere. Some that most of us have never heard of, yet claim to be "made in swiss".

There are probably more stores selling Rolex's in Beijing then all of Canada. Cartier, Breguet and even Blancpain is available at many of the 100's of giant malls there.

If you had a bad experience with him why didn't you give him a negative transaction feedback? He received 19 positive transactions on this forum and 0 negative.

I would love to hear from others who received the OEM parts from him to confirm if they are actually OEM or modified ETA.

I did leave a neutral feedback after things got addressed. I stated something like, "received 187 not working, got issue addressed" can't remember exactly but it was something like that. He txt'd me some comments then posted a negative feedback for me.

I didn't think I was in the wrong to leave a neutral feedback, but don't think I should get a negative. So the mod that I was talking with had us remove both our feedback.

I know I'm just a new guy here and things got addressed so I left it be.

BTW if you are co-workers why would you make a post on this thread showing your interest on the 187(see below), when you could have told him from across the room.

More red flags!!

I purchased that 187g.

And to let everyone know. It was received with several issues. I even made a post about it awhile ago.

I don't want to go into detail here, but I had to have a mod step in to get things resolved.

I always felt things were not right in his sales, but I never wanted to "rock the boat". But seeing these hi $ sales and this new info about g.s.w and rockarep's sales tactics, things need to be addressed.

Not all his sales were perfect. My sales experience was bad and also now this about g.s.w (who by the way seemed to be interested in purchasing the 187 in the post I bought from, but they are co-workers?). Based on my experience and what I've read here, seems gsw and rockarep may/were deceiving people.

Very nice collection. A color to match for all occasions.

Which version is that with the black dial, red numbers in the pvd case?

lol, an 09 posting.

Reading up on the GZ markets looks similar to the other mass markets in China. All the cheaper sellers in the lower floors and better quality ones up top floors. I'm going to have to schedule a trip to GZ next time in China. I wonder how much has been "cleaned" up since new crackdowns.

I agree the domestic beer in China is some of the worst, but at least its cheaper then a coke at most places.

Is the rep very heavy? I assume heavier then a panerai 187?

Since its so tall, does it ever feel "top" heavy?

I think someone on another forum took one apart.

Can the Dial be swapped on the existing safari with this new one? and if yes would the old tachy ring be ok ? I want to do it and the dial is available for $98 however without the tachy, as tachy is part of the watch assembly

Which dealer sales new dials?

for saturday, the big ap t3

The Diver v3 looks great.

How are the bezel markers and the dial markers, are they aligned nicely? Hard to tell in that angled pic.

wow, that was aaamazing. Thank you for sharing the work of art.

Does Domi offer this type of modding? or was this a one-off custom?

#1. Leave paypal out of this. We do not want undo attention drawn to our hobby.

#2. If your not getting anywhere with the seller, contact the mods here on the board.

Always contact the mods when you have this type of problem... before you make the problem public.

Having said that, you bought your watch from a member with 22 posts. We have a saying in the watch hobby "buy the seller, not the watch"

Contact a moderator here at rwg and explain your situation.

Hope it works out for you. Welcome to rwg

Thanks for the welcome.

Well I have the seller's # and have yet to hear back from him. Still awaiting an admin's response. I wasn't sure who to contact, Is there a specific mod I should contact?

Excuse me if I'm posting the wrong forum, didn't know where to take this to.

I just recently purchased a 187g form a member on the forum.

Kinda a b-day gift to myself. This was was supposed to be a well serviced movement, with everything working. So the description said. I communicated with the seller and confirmed he did some great servicing on it to get it to some "chronometer" like standard.

"http://www.rwg.cc/to...rolex-explorer/"

When I got the watch, initial inspection looked ok, but...

When I got into my "man's cave" as my wife describes it.. I started examining closely. And found some issues.

First, the chrono reset button doesn't work. It does nothing, so cant reset the chrono hands. start/stop works fine.

The min and hour hands timing are off. Meaning can't get the min and hour hands to line up at 12:00. When the hour hand is vertical at 12, the min hand sits around 15min mark. Like this:

When tried to line up at 11:00, the hour is off a little:

There seems to be a small smudge mark on the dial above the word chrono and on the mins chrono subdial. The dial hands seem to be scratched up also. I'm not sure if these initial purchase qc issues or what, Do any of you other 187g owners had these dial issues?

My question is what would you guys do if the watch you got was not as described from the seller?

I tried to contact the seller by many txt's messages. He says everything was in working order when sent out. The pics he posted and pic i received never showed a properly reset chrono hands. Also you can see the hour/min hands were off on timing. He claims the chrono reset is an easy fix and tells me to go fix it. I asked if he would pay for that and seemed to agree. But what about the other issues? Communication has been vague after that.

Am I wrong to ask for a refund?

Are any of these issues an easy fix?

Should I just file a dispute with paypal?

Any suggestion on what step to take next would be much appreciated.

Thanks

is that a crown guard in the order too?

Wheres the wrist shot of the 390

the 288 looks good.

anyone got a link to a td selling these?

Haven't heard about them.
