-Bump for Pics-

Wow! I thought that was a gen at first glance! the bright white printing on the dial gave it away....looks like you took the crown and cg from the bad ass 036? most excelent looking beast!

ohhh...that sux I know it is hard to get over the initial let down - from the high of receiving a new watch to be deflated by a bad specimen. But for what it is worth, David seems like a stand up guy, so I am sure he will take care of you!

LOL, cant even wear it yet....strap is too small. I have a custom XXL on the way, hopefully it will show up today or tomorow...

got my PVD 195 from david today. initial once over, it looks really good. I did notice there are a few nicks in the finish....but very small, an mostly on the edges....I will try and post some pics tonight after work and let you guys decide if they are big enough to be an issue... But is a very sweet watch! *EDIT* Upon closer inspection, watch is quite awsome. Really good AR on the crystal. the nicks in the finish dont even show up in the photo's, so no biggie. Lume on the hands is killer, but the dial will defenitly need a re-lume job. another observation, the second hand does not sweep as smoothly as my 7753 196. Strap looks pretty decent, was actualy barley able to get it on the first notch for some wrist shots...Custome strap was a no show today Ok, here are the pics!

Hang on, I just read Palps post...so i understand it to say he fixed the problems on the watch already? If this is so, what is the problem? Joe sent you a messed up watch, but offerd to fix it, when you declined due to shipping issues he agreed to do it your way by having Palp fix it...so he went out of his way to do it your way inorder make sure it got fixed? if I am reading this right, what exactly is the problem Namor?

well, this depends. if this is a service that Joe "offers", than yeah I geuss that implies he should be responsible for making sure the watch he recievs is in good order. if this is a service "you" asked of him, than I dont think it would be his responsobility to make sure the watch is in good order...as you would be giving up the right to inspect it yourself...either way, you are putting yourself in a bad possition "assuming" he would check it over and bypassing the step of having the watch sent to you first to inspect. Ultimatly (weather Joe should have or shouldnt have checked it) you chose to rely upon him...IMH that is to some degree your fault for being lazy (maybe not the best term...but you get the point I think). when I talked to Joe about a DRSD, I now remember he did mention he could have it shipped to him...but I remember thinking I would want to see it first myself, and not wanting to pursue that option.....I know zig does not (or at least didnt before) accept watches that are shipped directly to him from dealers...for just this reason I would assume. but yeah, I guess Joe probobly should have closly inspected the watch on arival. what about having palp fix the problems? did that occure? is the watch better now?

@Namor. You have a much too "holier than thou" attitude. you have to share some blame in this. you chose to have a watch sent from king to Joe for you, and then expect Joe to know exactly what to do, what you would do? while I agree those seem to be glaring flaws in the watch...it was your choice to take a short cut, so you need to accept partial blame for that. And this whole anger thing towards Joe seems a little misplaced to me. This is not the first time Joe has had this problem. If I remember correct, about this time last year he was laid up with this allergies/asthma problem for a several weeks…so I doubt seriously he is faking it. I reread your post, I didn’t see anywhere if Palp fixed the scratch and bracelet as Joe said he asked him to do….did palp do these repairs? I am unsure of this bad blood thing between Zig and Joe, dont know what it is over, who is right or wrong, or who started it. frankly I dont care. I have not dealt with either, but I plan to send some business to zig for re-luming and service. And I plan to eventually have Joe mod a WM/MBW DRSD for me (dont have the $$ now). they both have such great reps that I am confident I will be happy with their work. Knowing I am impatient, I will wait for Joe to get better before I send him anything though.....(thats known as "managing expectations")

so do you feel completely faultless Namor?

Hmm Namor, I have had a really bad experience with one of the most reputable dealers on this board. so because of that, I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. we - all of us on the forum....members, dealers and repairers/moders - are all capable of mistakes, and [censored] does sometimes happen. now I dont know all the details of what happend, only you palp and joe do....but going around bad mouthing people like you did in this last post, you lose credability. dont throw [censored], just facts, and be willing to come up with a mutualy benefitial solution. Edit - I like Slay's solution also

Oh, I only caught a few of them, but as I said, he has been making sure we were all updated and aware of his condition, and that Mods/repairs would be delayed....which shows good will and unfortunate circumstances. Not a scammer... Glad to see RBJ able to respond. Hope you start feeling better.

hmmm...I can kinda see your logic....BUT, knowing Joe is legitimately ill, and has been keeping us updated on his condition (maybe not a regularly as he could/should have) and considering he has such a good rep around here...I think you should have sent him the watch back for him to refund you. ...just MHO

@Namor, Craytonic mentiond Joe offerd you a refund, is this so?

Now we need pics on a strap .......straped to yer gurl preferably
