    Were you successful getting pearls from Helenarou? Are they as good as Athaya's?

    I got them, they look good to me. But dont know if they are as good as Athaya's, because I never had those...

    Ofrei used to have them, but I don't see them there now. Yuki used to stock  them, but there site is down for maintenance. I checked on ebay, and the sellers that have them want too much money for them. You might contact Helenarou and see if they sell them separately.

    Yeah some ebay seller is charging me £50 per pearl!!

    Thanks will ask Helenarou

    Nice!

     

    I'm working on a 7016/0, I can confirm MQ has high prices and poor service. I bought the case from him and asked to engrave 7016/0. It was silent for a week and got QC pics which I asked for. He engraved 7016 instead of 7016/0, so I told him. Another week of silence again and received this. As I already expected he just added the "/0", so now it's not centered.

    And WTF is this? Oxidation? He engraved right through it, and now it looks pretty messed up...

    I hope the rest is better... Otherwise I need to ask for a refund. But first let's wait another week!

    You could have kept the lug-holes and build an early 16800 ...

    I mean I wanted to get rid of the the modern springbar "holes" on the JF case. The ST case I ordered has drilled lug holes (all the way through). Im building an 1987 16800. Got my hands on a really nice gen black faded navy insert :D

    Finding someone who can laserweld/microweld is tough. At least I couldnt find one. I wanted to "convert" a JF 16610 case to a 16800 one, and have the old springbar holes removed. But I couldnt find someone, so I ended up buying an ST case and will have it engraved...

    I will like to request you, being a respected and trusted member, to stop being a messenger to a qualified scammer.
    There are absolute borders never to be crossed in this hobby and this guy has crossed them without compunction. Please do not embroil yourself just because you have dealt with him positively before. Past performance does not guarantee future performances.

    I am against the fact that he raised an unauthorized pp dispute and went further by escalating it. If you’re truly against this as well, kindly refrain from showing his side of the story. It does not matter now what went down on each side. What matters is the way he had chosen to manage this matter. It is bad for the hobby and the community.
    I have a duty to inform the community of what he did. The pp dispute is an absolute fact. The things that went back and forth between the buyer and seller are debatable.

    I have given him a chance to put this right by doing the things mentioned in my message above. I will politely request you to stop interceding on his behalf if you do not have a dog in this fight.
    By doing so, you are, inadvertently or otherwise, showing the community that you think that it is ok to start a pp dispute without taking the necessary preliminary steps. I am not interested in taking sides either but I want the scammer to know that it is not ok to behave in such a deplorable manner.
    So please kindly step out of the way of the missles Mr Markiemark. My target isn’t you at all. But such insolence needs to be addressed and if such a precedent is allowed, he will continue to do this time and over and think how clever he is. Thank you kindly for your understanding. I hope you will not play devil’s advocate here if this does not concern you. I will appreciate that.

    Are you here to defend Swiss6uk? I get the feeling you are siding him. Or do you have a personal stake in the matter? 

    I dealt with him in the past without problems, I have him on whatsapp and he asked me to post this. He can't reply because he is banned. So I'm just the messenger...

     

    Im not siding with anyone, nor do I have personal stakes in this matter. I mean, I'm not getting watches or $6000 haha. I also warned swiss6uk to not open a paypal dispute without admin aproval, and try to solve it with the modder first.

     

    And like I always say, every story has 3 sides. And this applies to this one as well. The buyer's side, the modder's side, and then there is the truth...
