Mike on a bike

It's going to be to late before they believe it.....................

Were any of you able to get on there and warn those guys?

Sgt how is the the fit and finish? Well you are getting another so ...........

Oh this one one the way to me, always wanted a Ball.

Stumbled into this brand for the price worth a punt.

Automatic

Now although quartz this one just so sharp in black dial version.

But the winner may be the evil Panda.

This pic does not do it justice follow link for better shots, one sharp watch and at 39 mm nice and small as I am not one for large watches 40-42 the most. Oh and beads of rice bracelet , you gotta love that.

Guys if you are on Facebook please join and warn those guys, as stated before I do not Facebook.

Welcome back and I think the guys are mainly building and modding their watches so not as much interest in the latest and greatest V whatever the dealers have out. But there are some guys reviewing new stuff just not all rolled up in one thread, there around.

For those of you who were around and or got burnt by this asshat he is on Facebook under his real name selling watch tools on a Facebook group called “Old Vintage Watches”.

If you do not know about this no cause for you to get involved, those of us who were burnt know his name well so can stop by and visit him there. LOL

Just be careful on Facebook they will ban you for threats and stuff use your heads I know we were all very hot about this but best to just warn others and shut him down smartly.

Good luck Mike, sure the guys will appreciate a brick and mortar shop where working on watches is all they do.

Nice like that watch had one wore well on the wrist, thanks for the review.

Pretty scary Al!!

Again thanks for all the well wishes my brothers . Now let us enjoy a tune..................this is us .

So enjoy your watches, your life and your friends here.....................

Indy /Shawn where are you mate we could kill this! By the way MOAB can dance!!!!

Not sure hard to tell from the Chinese ones! I think however from the tells they are V4 rep of the Bergeon set in question. LOL

I thought that it tasted a bit off!

Bloody hell, the first thing he does is to lock the mods drink cabinet. After he’s emptied it I hasten to add! I guess in his newly elevated position he no longer needs us mere mortals. Come on Mike, you used to be such a nice guy......😇

Keeping the good stuff for myself!

And thanks again for all the well wishes guys and let's keep our forum what it has always been a gentleman's forum to share in knowledge among friends. While of course buy/build way to many watches!!

Thank you all and of course first round on me !

I am deeply honored and I will go forward as I have always done calmly and fairly w/ all being heard in any problem or dispute.

Let me add no home addresses in open thread , because they have no honor does not lower our standards: email, country, perhaps a town but that's it. VIA pm a different story ...............

And the Seiko and Citizen specs:

I wealth of information around here guys we have some very highly educated members horologist and altesporsche being two of them I will not go into the letters after their names .

Wise in the ways of the rep world am I but I'm out of my league on this stuff..................

Sometimes not a matter of taste either if you scratch up the bezel on that Omega you can get an after market one at a reasonable price gen not so much, still you bought it gen it is but just doing a cost effective repair.

You should be fine.

I don't know about our rep suppliers using the same steel as Rolex, now I know some of guys could test it (they have the know how) maybe they could.

Read this, call me pessimist but I doubt it comes close.

Oh Dear! I’m only a newbie, but I’m really sorry to hear your Breitling has stopped.

Very annoying,  l was going to buy from Puretime but not now, I know of a private individual well versed in watches, I’ve purchased from him with no problems whatsoever.

 

I thought the Sellers on this site were ‘Vetted’ by senior members! 

 

Whatever the case, I would have thought ‘Puretime’ and other sellers tested and examined the watches they sell prior to passing it onto the buyer, although this maybe an isolated case It’s not good.

 

Personally, I’d ask for my money back as if it has already malfunctioned To me it’s an indication that there is a possibility of something else going wrong.

 

if I may ask which Breitling is it? 

Did the seller tell you from where he bought it? 

I’m sure ALL will work out for you, But still not nice. When I spend £600 ++ I expect NO problems however minor, Isn’t that the reason we buy from ‘TD’s’ ?

 

 

 

You have a lot to learn my friend , vetted means you get a watch as described and if seized they will send another. Movements made in a Chinese factory w/ questionable QC do not travel well and dealers will usually fix or replace most guys just send to their watch smith here for a service if movement gets screwed up in shipping. (yes they pay for it themselves do not think about sending dealer a bill) There are no money back guarantees they are not Amazon or Macy"s , you are buying illegal goes from a guy who if he gets caught most likely gets thrown in jail forever or shot , keep some perspective in regard to your expectations.
