Wow, that is nice. I would have thought it would have been Quartz but even better; a mechanical movement. I hope your mum appreciates it.

Good stuff. Would be nice to see a photo of it opened up and also when finished.

Are those the V2?..........

Are there any witness marks from previous removals? I'd have thought a case knife would be required?

Look at the trusted dealer section and contact a few of them. If it's available they will know.

A PO isn't THAT expensive second hand. My advise would be to keep your franken and buy a gen second hand, wear it for a while, then wear your rep. After a few weeks sell one. My guess is that once the novelty of one being gen goes away, it's the gen that would be sold........ or maybe not!

I've used prof through SSTEEL and have been very impressed with the results

It's currently hidden to prevent a witch hunt - at least until things are categorically proven.

Ok folks this one stops here.

+1 for what Legend said. Additionally, for new sellers only send money PayPal goods and services - NEVER send friends and family/gift. If a seller insists on this then pay the fees yourself or avoid the sale and let a mod know that this is happening. When I first joined the forum I was victim of a scam but recovered all my money as I'd not sent it gift. Be warned.

TC day.

Form

A vintage watch has invariably been opened and worked on at some stage. What has been done to it is often questionable. This maybe a genuine Omega Speedmaster but it doesn't mean it's 100% original. Have you asked the question to the seller?

Good to know Micky. I have mine packed up ready to send. I'll wait until the new year now. Hope the move and the remodelling goes well.

The Dark Side is already available from the TD's. Not sure about the one in your photo though.

For clarity this is RWG.cc! You may post QC photos. However please don't just post them and ask "is this version any good" etc. As Mike has already stated, do your homework first about which model/factory/version you're buying. TD's will not run. Backwards and forwards rejecting/changing a watch because you didn't know which version you want. Remember, reps have flaws and if the version you're buying has a known flaw (e.g. wrong date font) you're not going to be able to reject it on that premises. Personally, I'd post them in the relevant section, i.e. Rolex, AP, Tag etc asking if there is anything specific that is wrong and wait for a reply.

Yeah I can't believe that it's still going on Micky. Anyway, you're appreciated here

+1 for what Nanuq said. Please leave feedback as both a buyer and a seller. Once you've paid for an item leave 'funds sent' or similar on the thread. Once the funds have been received the seller should mark the thread as sold. Common sense also plays a part. Whilst there maybe several people stating 'PM sent', it's only when funds have been sent and received that the item should no longer be on sale. It is a bitch when 'good'/long standing members go rouge but it happens sometimes. Be vigilant, be careful and don't send gift payments unless you can afford to lose the money (not that that is the case here)!

Is he here on our forum?

Sorry to hear of this. It happens rarely fortunately, but unfortunately for Sbybbuser it was him that was scammed. All sales threads should be marked paid/closed/received etc and feedback left. This goes a little way to prevent these scams. I guess Reppin has now left never to return. @Mike on a bike I'm guessing he is now banned?

Try buying from one of our trusted dealers in the future. There are too many scam sites out there to take a chance.
