Sead has some Uk stock most of the time

Welcome! You're lucky to be in UK... Other members from Eu countries have sh*tty customs to worry about 

I just paid for the white version, can't wait to check out the quality 

thick case cant be fixed, youre better off modding a 5513 case with an he valve, but once you start modding and adding parts from here and there it ($) adds up quickly

Puretime also has a 1665 Comex... is this watch easier to mod?

Does somebody have contact with RolexAddict? He does not answer Pms nor mails... 

But RA did this with a thick 1665 case... : http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=109155

so it's possible right?

but can this PT version be modded to get it close ?

I'd also like the lume to be more white and crispier can this be done by modding? Or is a new dial recommended? (Sorry I'm a vintage noob)

Hi

I've ordered this PT5514 : http://puretime-asia.com/product/vintage-comex-submariner-5514-best-edition/

which I'm planning to mod by RolexAddict. My budget is not that big (that why I chose this model, it has decent dial I think and ETA low beat)


First of all I now this case is a 1665 case right? So it too thick... can this be modded or do I need to source any new parts to get it decent or can RA pull it of with this stock watch? If new parts needed, which ones do I need  

Oh btw he doesn't respond to my mail, any info on that?

Thanks!

as you know Paypal responds within 24h.. so it had already been refunded when this paypal employee responded to my question

Completely agree. OP doesn't quite seem to understand the delicate nature of the rep hobby. He's definitely going on my personal blacklist.

 

Telling paypal that Toro's account is a business while he isn't registered as one, are you kidding me? Way to ruin it for all of us.

Why does Paypal keep the fees then? They only do that with businesses so... who's lying here?

I don't know how it works here but on RWI when there's a Paypal problem your supposed to ask a mod for help first and if all else fails your last ditch effort would be Paypal the reason for that is so that Paypal doesn't go and check if there is rep activity being done. If u did that before contacting a mod , that's not cool and everyone on here should never sell you anything.

A simple refund is not a claim or dispute with a TD, I have no problem with Toro, he did refund me full, so I appreciate...  I just want to know if it's true for future buys

BTW your shipping time takes way too long, you tell people to send tracking code when it's shipped from Spain/uk to destination, but still I had to ask before I got it and it even was a wrong number. I remember once you told my watch was shipped but then there was a correction because you didn't ship because package was too heavy. Just be honest to people and be more understandable. 

So people, DON'T buy from Toro if you want a friendly service and a fast shipping (my experience) and no offense 

 

 

Wonder if PayPal charges the seller the 4%? Either way if toro says that he'll refund you I'm sure that you'll get the money.

I have the money, I appreciate that from him, but I'd like him to come up with some proof other than telling me to call PayPal China lol

 

That is very unfortunate situation, and the TD is me. 

 

First we started with bargaining with the op, I kindly explained him I cannot do a lower price on this Rolex, than he paid.

 

After he paid he changed his mind to a v6 AP diver, than, he changed his mind again for the Rolex.

 

 

He asked further questions about the watch requesting more pics:

 

- another date (not centered)

- close-up pearl (cracked?)

- clasp front and back with engraving 

 

I said I will receive a new batch the next day and I can send him new qc pics, but he changed his mind again, this time for a refund.

 

The professional chinese pp accounts hold the 4% of the buyers fee. Again, pp holds it, and NOT the vendor, so it is not me who is holding it. In cases when the watch is not available or some similar situations I would pay those 4% from my pocket but in our situation the op is playing a hide and seek now I want it, and now I don´t.

 

My business is not based on cheating. I would not make up a story like that, ever.

 

I have the right to ask extra pics, you take 4 silly pictures and none of the clasp which I think is rather important... I emailed paypal telling you are a 'business' and they tell me it's not true, if so give me the link to their policy...

It is me, and let me know what would you do if somebody plays a time consuming hide and seek and that you PAY for it

Hide and seek? I've ordered from many TDs and I appreciate the full refund (in case it's true) but simply I didn't quite feel as good as when ordering with eg PT. If I ask them extra pics, they will let me know when they will take it and they are friendly. Maybe I hesitated afterwards, but that no excuse to not answering my questions. You had 320 euro from me (not that I don't trust you) but once I started about paypal you were all ears to keen to respond. I just don't like the way you defend yourself here, with your own words that Paypal changed the rules and you don't PROOF any of this. 

Answer from Paypal:
 

I paid for one watch that I don't want anymore now... so seller has to do a full refund. 320 euros and he said I will get only 307,.. if I want to be refunded 

Hi

I ordered a watch from a TD, but now since I'm not happy with several watches and the QC, I requested a refund... But if the TD refunds me he said it' will not give back the fees (4%). He said it's a new rule for businesses who use paypal... Is this correct that if he refunds, I will get the amount - 4% of fees?

thanks mike !

welkom!

If you go to Macy's and try to exchange something bought from Walmart, would you blame the Macy staff from being helpless to do anything except laugh about it to her friends at lunchtime? 

No but if I want to exchange something from Walmart, and that Walmart is closed I can always go to another Walmart store to get information about it right? Thanks legend for this helpful attribution to this topic! You really are a legend I must say

I tried pm wimpie but I can't receive any messages ... weird
