Belgravia Watch Co. London, as supplied by our own AJ.

Now sporting brown leather.

You know what? It's actually growing on me, at first I was unsure but now it looks good. I may keep it this way for the foreseeable future

Paypal policy changed, partial refund OR full refund, there is a 4% PAYPAL charges, NOT the vendor

 

Only for professional account. With a personal account you cannot sell more than 5 watches a month, I hope this helps.

That seems clear. Thanks Toro.

Well, why not eh?

Looks acceptable to me. If you're being picky, the navy the datewheel alignment, but that could be the angle of the photograph. Or, maybe the 12 isn't perfect, but still looks okay.

Popped it into my Seamaster Chronograph and it's well..... errrr..... different! Makes for a change but I don't think it will stay this way.

Great choice. If she turns out too small for you, you know where I am!

You should be fine. My only (very slight) concern with a high value item like this would be has the tax been paid. If this is coming from within the EU then you'll be fine.

I don't do gold divers usually, but that does look really nice.

It should be fine. I have a 7.25" wrist and feel that anything over 42mm is too big for me, but once I'd tried a few ROO's my opinion changed. They still look big, but it's about perception. Try one and if it's too big for YOUR liking then flip it here in the M2M section.

This is a good example on why it's important to use a major credit card as your source of PayPal funds rather than your bank account. Hopefully the OP did just that...

 

Filing a dispute with PayPal may not be favorable, and you could file a dispute with your CC company. 9 times out of 10, the CC dispute will get your funds back.

+1

I had an issue with an eBay item (non rep watch) and his PayPal account was closed but my cc refunded my money.

Look at the trusted dealers section. They will be fine to purchase from. The only thing is the long wait - likely to be a few weeks for delivery.

Can you tell us what winder it is, or provide a link? I searched eBay for 24 watch winder as suggested, but nothing similar to this in the results.

Try this eBay item number - 390609659971

* sorry can't seem to paste a link on my phone.

I've 2 Pams, but not on a winder

I've got the same winder, they are good

 

Kernow have you found that if you put thick watches on the bottom row of winders that they touch the perpex frint window in a couple of places as they rotate?

 

I have on mine, just had to shuffle them around a bit so no thick watches are at the bottom.

 

And as the front window is perspex and not glass it hasn't marked the watches at all.

Not yet. However, this winder is a recent acquisition so there's plenty of time to find that out!

I've a couple of Pams, but their buckles are too big to fit onto the winders!

The Crazy Hours is mine ....... but I'm looking at a gen dial. In the meantime the wife had claimed it lol

Oh and I bought the winder from eBay - search for 24 watch winder. I thought that it was good value too.

Here's one display case with a few missing pieces that are in for repair.

From top left.

Gen Seamaster Chronograph 2009 & rep Seamaster 2254 (for a project), rep Seamaster 40th Bond Aniversary & new rep Seamaster Chronograph, gen titanium blue faced Seamaster & rep AP Tour Auto on a bracelet

Rep JLC Master Compressor NSD & rep Speedy (as a test before the gen), TC LV Sub & rep pre 2009 Seamaster Chronograph, rep Brietling SO Abyss red & gen Seamaster GMT

Gen Seamasters 2254 & 2230 non AC, rep Ploppy and rep FM Crazy Colour Dreams, 1970's Seiko

Rep Cartier Santos and my late fathers 1980's Seiko, rep UN Black Tide

The remainder of my collection is mostly in London in a smaller display case, in for repair, or locked away in a non display box!

Any ideas guys?

So, I have no more incoming watches: they've all been delivered from TD's and M2M sales. No more anticipation and no more anxiety of customs issues. I'm quite sad today, I need my fix. In the last 12 months I've bought something like 30 watches; some gens but mostly reps. What do I do now? I guess I'll just continue to sit lurking in the sales section, stalking AJ and the likes.

On a brighter note, my display cases are full and looking good

Great to hear. That's what the forum is all about.

ugh... the wait is killing me

Yep, but you'll get used to it.

When can we expect the rep..........

I do not have a pattern or rather one dealer who stands out, sh*t happens not all this blatant . Rest assured if any of or dealers was consistently pulling stuff I would act.

Yep, understand that Mike. That's why I said 'if' it continues, i.e. with more than one sale. Good to know you have our best interest at heart

My understanding is there are two TD's in the cartel, so just pick one of them.

We have trusted dealers for a reason. If one is lying or cheating I think we should know. If it continues their status as a TD should be revoked. I hope you get it sorted.

Sorry, I can't remember the price of the tool, but cheaper than getting a watchsmith to do it for sure. It's an easy job though, just make sure that you rotate the bezel anticlockwise when removing it so as not to damage the click spring.
