SSTEEL

The worst that can happen is if your watch is seized, and then you phone, or reply to their letter. Its then when you open a serious can of worms. If a watch of yours does indeed get seized, DO NOT reply to the letter, IGNORE it completely, but keep a copy to show your TD.

It is a rep, the seller has relisted it. I reported it when I noticed more tells due to zoom enabled on previous listing. Now no zoom.

Visit a few AD's around your area, and surrounding areas, and try a few on to get to know them better. Then choose the AD with the best accommodating reception, and see if they will be flexible on mark up price of the watch you wish to buy.

The AP Diver on bracelet would look more suited to a shirt cuff imo.

Welcome to the forums

B01 for me too. I will get one eventually, but seeing as the dial I want is not repped, its a good excuse to go franken with mine, when I get one.

There is always a risk with customs, its all part of the game. Most get through, but you should always be aware that yours may not. Rule of thumb is, if you cannot afford to lose the cost of your rep, then your in the wrong hobby. Having said that, most Trusted Dealers will resend a seized watch to another address for you, so it would be wise for you to check which TD's exactly have your back.

As mentioned above, the wok look is a giveaway, plus several other tells, including crooked indices.

Welcome to the forums Have you asked Toro to confirm that the factory have given him the right model for you?

Good point that manually winding holds, and auto wind shoots back when you rotate the rotor. Agree with Freddy ^^^ Something not right in the gear meshing somewhere there.

In that case the retainer/latch to hold the reserve is failing.

Nice

Let us know how you get on mate.

Will let you know when I inspect the watch if anything is bent.

Sorry to hear this, and I like many others wish him all the very best in his recovery. My mother is currently dying from terminal cancer, and is just a matter of time now. No bone marrow transplant possible due to her bones being riddles too

This idiot claimed back a massive, whole £55 months later. Crazy, and sounds like a possible bag head.

You have PM

Some very impressive photography there, with equally amazing scenery too. Beautiful. Here's a couple of photos I have for now, taken locally in Kuopio, Finland when I first moved here in 2007 I think...

I have worked on a couple of TC's now, so if you want to send it to me, drop me a pm, and I will sort it out for you. I'm in EU. Finland, from the UK originally

The bezel not rotating indicates that the bezel assembly has not been pressed down correctly, and is not even all the way around.

What an amazing collection. Loving the 007, and the one that spent around 20 years under the sea/sand. Incredible.

Yes, I had the same issue with my BP Sub C Glidelock from Andrew. He sorted it, and sent me a replacement. Another issue with these BP's are the indices @12 & 9 being misaligned. Andrew sorted the clasp, i will fix the misaligned markers. Its all part of the fun.

I echo what Benjamin states, Andrew could send you a replacement clasp, and before sending he can arrange for it to be tested to ensure its working as intended. When I had a problem with my TT Sub C Glidelock from Andrew, he sent me a complete bracelet to solve the problem

Awesome work my friend, well done. Very elegant looking, both of them

Welcome aboard, as mentioned, the only problem with these is that dreaded sunken DW. Nice looking otherwise.
