this has been out for a while. Its from the dealership in miami. They said that when people see it in person its either they like it or they love it. No in between lol

truly amazing

Aloha, looks awesome!

Thanks everyone again for all of the input. i am glad plenty saw it objectively and threw my point of view. A small refund obviously isnt going to happen but thats fine. Ask for better pictures lesson learned. And you can tell how is mood changed quickly and has stayed that way even in his post on this thread. Obviously this wont be resolved in any way as HIke has stated

Thank you everyone for your input and perspectives. It is appreciated.

i didnt damage it myself i talked to him shortly afterr it arrived on monday. i sent him pics on mon night when i got home. Dont be ridiculous. it left a bitter taste in my mouth and i wanted to bring it up, i havent left a negative review or anything. yes it was stand up that he offered a review, he turned bitter and i didnt feel comfortable sending back, he also stopped responding once i sent the pictures. if it was on the case back i probably would have. my point is it should have been mentioned and the pictures were on the opposite side purposely not showing the deep scratches. sure i understand the opinion i should have sent it back but there wasnt that many of the type i was looking for. but $30 really shouldnt have been a big deal. It is ok HIke told me if i mentioned anything it would go this way.

thanks Mr. Miagi for looking at this objectively and reversing the roles.

Thanks guys, i guess i should have returned the watch even though his attitude changed and i didnt feel comfortable with someone having both the watch and the money. And to provide a picture of deep scratches like that was to much to ask. He seemed like a cool guy until this happened. Thanks again

i like the watch, its hard to find one used with a crystal case back, or at least it was while i was looking. the DEEP scratches should have been mentioned or pictured, not misled. And after the attitude change i didnt feel comfortable sending it back. if this is going to be the response i will just delete it.

I got a watch from HikeUSA. It is the PAM359 here http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/156006-sold-pam-359v3-pam386/ I am new to this forum as far as being registered but have been looking here a while. I am not new to specific interest forums and have been a member to some for around 10 years. I do a lot of buying and selling in general. I debated whether to post this or not. He seemed really cool until a problem arose. First off HikeUSA shipped the very next morning. He answered all of my questions promptly. But once i received the watch, which was Monday there were some deep scratches on the case back. You can see them int the pics linked. Now, if you notice in the forum link the the picture is of the opposite side of where the scratches are. Also he says it has " only been worn twice" implying that the watch is in great condition. He offered to take the watch back for a refund, but i like the watch and have already paid. I didn't want to send it back, where he has watch and money especially since the attitude changed, but i felt that maybe a small refund of $30-$40 isn't unreasonable. I noticed that other people have reduced there price of the watch they are selling due to small scratches that were later discovered. If this was a surface scratch i wouldn't have minded. But these are very deep scratches that should have been mentioned. Now his replies of "nothing is perfect in the rep world" and "i dont mind scratches: just don't solve the problem. Now I was also told that i wont be sided with, which may be true. But i dont feel it was properly described and its not to much to ask for those to be mentioned. I wouldn't have paid the price of a excellent condition watch. This is a good group of people here and it doesnt seem like a "take it or leave it" attitude is what this forum is all about. Thank you for your time in this discussion.

Yeah they definitely are a work of art

looks very nice

thank you so much, he doesnt come up on the web when searching for straps. i have spent hours looking thank you

someone must know what i am talking about.

i have been looking for it all over the web. they are pretty extreme looking straps. if you imagine the length of the strap having a drastic curve to a point on one side and the other side of the strap matching it.

does anyone know the name of the maker that had the straps that were kind of a zig zag. they looked awesome and were made out of leather. i saw them a few years ago. they are hard to describe. but i think they were hard to get a hold of. thanks
