Yes and the double customs risk (getting there the worst of it China post makes Italy look good) , most of the time best to bite the bullet and fix.

"I need to return my watch for repair/replacement"  not so sure you do , what's the problem?

The rub is you may not get the watches back . Believe me I know some real good conartists / scamers,  have been in a never ending battle for years.

This was gone over for a couple of pages in a thread years ago. When all said and done it was a thumbs down for a bunch of reasons

Guys if you are going Nato of course you can get one cheap but the Omega has different keepers and buckle now guys sell them on the bay and say gen but for the real deal look for this:

single keeper has Omega on it . Now ones without that with just Omega buckle $100 with proper square keepers but gen $172 with logo where it should be and most likely better grade of strap.

True I have one just not proper one either  but again no one would notice.

If I get the links in the 300, that one!

Ok wrong bezel!

OK guys head over to sales section to get in!!

Marti just jumped in the Dutch board raffle , guys go over RWI it is a joint venture and give Marti a hand getting this one gone!

Well gents will be working on our pics today so be on the look out for our raffle!

Hope this works .

My patience is wearing thin............. and I know who it is.

You want a cheap price go to ALi , no QC no v this or that but you can get lucky and if they do not send or send junk Ali gives refund. Not for noobs if you read this it is for very experienced guys who know how to take a lose if it craps out and also you have to know what the hell your buying with tempered expectations.

Needless to say I had to twist his arm to get him to take fair compensation on this!

AH! Droptop first in on the new BB , simply stunning IMHO. It is on the top of my watch buy list but I'm afraid winter tires for four cars comes first, there are list and there are lists....................

Don't speak to soon my friend there are many others!

Be on the look out for our next raffle as Legend has pulled out all the stops for us!!!

I will let Alvin comment on his mods I know sh*t about APs...............

There is a recent thread with an old timer coming back in this section a lot of them came out of the woodwork to say hello , I bet you know a lot of those names. By the way welcome back!

What did you hit a porcupine?

Yup I checked...............

English please, well if you want to talk to people.

Guys just pinned this so when somebody asks just send them here.

This ain't Amazon and yes you are going to out a few bucks mate, price/chance you take to get 4-5 thousand dollar watch for 350 or so. To echo past sentiments, yes it should have been caught but sh*t happens and Toro as usual is being a stand-up guy.  But read panerai153's posts dealers at mercy of factory on movements. All in all the guys have tried to help you ,steel tried to fix but hopeless case this should show you it is a tough game but plenty of good people in it to help out. It is unfortunate you got a bad one first time out but that happens from time to time to all of us, welcome to the rep game.

Well this has slowly evolved so here it goes as a new guy buy a cheap watch or two 100-150 the seller (and I have done this) more likely to take the risk. (you can always sell later @ minimal lose) Hang around meet the guys once you are know that modded grail piece will be sold to you. This is a game of patience.

Looks like my back yard lake, minus the pretty lady of course!

Yes that's my back yard just got done mowing it!
