I've been trying to reach PT through his website for the last 6 months with only the automated response then nothing. :-(

Richard, You must be myopic as I requested you would not clog this forum with your dull-witted verbosity. In person, you would cower under the table but here you portray the intellectual, worldly, voice of authority. Funny thing is nobody is listening to you or reading your, as you say, tripe. GO AWAY YOU POWER MAX WANNABE, LOL (but I know you will not and I know why

This reply is separate as their is hope that the earlier two will be relocated or deleted by the moderators. The end result of my first purchase experience with Jay is that I have three beautiful high quality reps. (Pictures will follow) They are ETA movements and I expect them to be fine, dependable, daily wearers. (Apologies to all the Fine Watch Masters, but I will not be refining the rehaut symmetry on the Subs) Regarding the fourth watch in the order which was not on Silix's website and could not be sourced... Whether the supply ran out or it was never initially sourced was uncertain. The funds are being refunded. There was a bit of a song and dance happening but when asked directly what happened with this watch? Jay came through and the truth came out - his supply line for this watch dried up. No problem. I like the truth and I like good communication. Of the few dealers (3) I've spoken to Silix's communication and turn around is by far The Best. Especially, for one who travels so much! This communication is the reason my initial purchase offering was 4 watches. Now to the sending the wrong watch bobble... That was not handled to my satisfaction. Is it a major issue? No, not really - Green bezel, Black bezel both look great. Gluing on bezel inserts, nope I will not be doing that. So that leaves me with two Black bezel submariners. So I guess I have a back up if one is not received as a gift. Did this mix up make this a bad experience? No, not really. Was it a perfect purchase experience? No, not really. Would I buy from Jay again (1=poor, 5=excellent)? Yes, quality control (5), communication (5), and price (5) are excellent. After Purchase Customer Support (3). Am I concerned by how customers feel after interacting with my company? You bet as our growth is 70% word of mouth and we have done well. So I see Kingswatch has a nice 7750 Asian seconds @ 9 Daytona and the troublesome Omega are in stock! Interesting hobby you guys have here....

The thread heading says Silix Issues Dic Tracy. (The familiar version of Richard is censored by this site) Neither this reply nor the one you left belong here. Therefore, I recommend the moderators remove both as they detract from the subject in the heading. My recommendation to you my friend is don't strain the little gray cell trying to be witty. It is not your forte. Adding a little fiber to your diet might help loads and eliminate accidents like this one. Please don't clog up the thread with this but if you must find relief, take it back door.

Noticed that on an adjacent Silix QC issues thread that someone received the same story as I did (Spelled and Cut/Pasted Exactly): "I am sorry for the delay. We had ur watch here, but one didn't pass the quality check. So we have to wait for new ones to come, which should be here in a couple of days. Sorry for keeping u wait. Nice day. -Silix." Now I am wondering if this was not some delay tactic. This all started on April 6th. The first order with a specially sourced watch being picked up by Chinese customs sounds odd too as their was no Tracking number provided on that first confiscated order. The three mens watches: A Blue Omega Aqua Terra, Black noobmariner, and what was supposed to have been another Submariner with red gear but Green Bezel arrived quickly after an EMS tracking number was issued. The Blue Aqua Terra is a very plain yet stunning watch, very solid, simple and classy - I'll post some pictures soon. The Black Noobmariner has some awesome Lume. Again a classic simplicity yet very stylish. Works with jeans or a suit. I purchased it as an 80th birthday gift for my Dad. He's a little weird about things like this so if he doesn't accept it I will be happy to keep it. The RG Submariner I purchased for my startup collection has been on my arm for two days now .... I like it. The only problem is it was supposed to have had a Green Bezel since I'm a more casual dresser during the week. Contacted Jay with the order malfunction after verifying that I wasn't responsible by providing an incorrect item number. He offered to send me a green Bezel insert. I hope this is an actual Bezel and not something that I am going to have to glue on! I'll try popping of a Bezel with a blade but sorry not looking to glue/scratch any bezel materials. BTW I've been wearing my Cheap Rolex Daytona before receiving my first order from Silix everywhere including swiming pools and it has been holding up perfectly and still keeps accurate time to less than 12 seconds every 9 days. If only it had an actual chrono and seconds at 9..... I've emailed Jay three times since the partial order arrived trying to find out when the specially sourced watch will be ready and have not receive one actual reply just a repeated offer to replace it with another one. This I don't like! If you tell me you can special source a watch to secure a 4 watch order then send me one with the wrong Bezel and now offer to switch or replace the special source watch with another one .... Please excuse me if my considerable patience and confidence starts to fade. The special order is a Lady Omega Aqua Terra MOP with Diamonds, plenty of dealers on here carry it. Therefore, I am really starting to feel a song and dance. So I'll be holding off any future orders until this matter and the wrong Bezel are resolved. Shame as my small collection could use a Daytona Seconds @9 and a Brietling Series Special Navitimer. Nice day, Alex

Looks like this thread is dead but I'll keep it going until I receive my complete order. Emailed for another order follow up on 5/13 and received a response that evening, usually a sign of "on top of it" service. My 4 watch order was seized by Chinese Customs. The special sourced Lady Omega is on back order. I requested that the 3 men's watches in my order that were in stock and passed QC be shipped out. If I am very happy with them, I'll add 2 or 3 watches with a new order and some straps/bands to the Lady Omega on back order. Hopefully, Silix's supplier with have one ready soon as the first special sourcing for the Lady Omega MOP/Diamond took almost 1 month. Have a EMS Tracking number. So we shall see... Regards, Alex

Emailed for a heads up on 4/19 received a reply 4/20. Like I thought the sourced watch didn't pass QC. I can only assume, (noobie Naivete), that as I am a new customer and have just place an order for 4 watches with another order for 2 or 3 more watches, and some straps that is on hold pending the outcome that he wants no complications. This group tends to be repeat customers and delivering superior service keeps 'em coming back. The moniker, "Your only as good as your last transaction" hold true here. Before my first purchase I spoke with several dealers about how they handled QC and Silix had the best email response time and attention to detail before and after receiving my money. I hope this will stay true for when I receive my watches. I have a feeling it will. I'm self employed and our motto is to always give them more than they expect, seems to work for the majority of people. Regards to all, Alex I was going to put up a Bouncing Boobie Avatar but thought I'd try my luck at the difficult daylight lume shot. Looks like I'll be playing with that some more. Maybe crack the Canon out and a tripod.

Placed an order for 4 watches on 4/6 received a confirmation 4/8. Have not heard anything since then, but one of the watches had to be sourced as it is not on their site. Prior to placing an order I inquired about their QC which takes 2 days after they have the watches in house and everything is WNL before shipping. So with one of the watches being source and their QC time requirement, I'll give them another week before asking for a heads up. Instant gratification always costs more. Frugal is the name of the game for me even with a rep hobby such as this.

Congratulations! Beautiful Watch. Great, now you have me drooling for one.

Greetings All, I ran this buy a VIP member to see if there was anything too sacrilegious before posting on the forum. Yes, I know that probably everyone on here is a mechanical/automatic watch aficionado so I was hesitant to post such heresy. My only rep until recently was a poor Rolex Daytona purchased 2 years ago before I was a member of RWG. It of course has improper hand spacing, non-functioning chrono, cheap Asia ST-6 type movement. I damaged the hairspring tweaking the tension in poor lighting and had to do a hairspring assembly transplant from an Otto Frei ST-6 movement $12.95. It now runs 7 seconds fast after 9 days, I am very happy. It looks great on my wrist. The appearance, size, weight, etc, are perfect but it screams replica to anyone who knows anything about Rolex watches. I've researched all the problems with the Asia 7750 movement: extra gears, dry movement, dead chronos, mods, etc. It is clear there is no stable, dependable alternative except the El Primo Zenith version. While everyone from my waitress at NEO China to impulsive noobs buy the 7750 Daytona to have it fail after a few months to a year their will be no impetus to get anything better from the Asia manufacturers. Personally, I like the appearance of this watch, the weight, and size. What is on the inside will be deemed fake by anyone that opens up the case back. Here comes the HERESY: Is there not a quality quartz or hybrid kinetic movement with proper hand spacing, smooth sweeping seconds at 6, fully functional chrono that could temporarily solve the Daytona issue until a automatic mechanical movement presents itself? I just want to wear the watch and not have rep issues as far as external appearance nor hacked undependable function. I have seen quartz watches with smooth second sweep using small stepper motors for second and chrono hands. I'm sure there are also pathetic Quartz reps of the Daytona out there. That is not what I'm going after. I guess this could be a question for the venerable repair and mod gurus. I look forward to the replies. Regards, Alex
