Not good. However gens go wrong too. There are plenty of stories on the gen forums about new gens with problems. At least when it's a rep you know it's only worth a few hundred $$$ not thousands!
-
What AJ said. I'd even go as far as to contact previous buyers if your looking at a M2M sale. I've done this recently and it's raised a few eyebrows. Be careful not everyone is as they seem.

Sometimes 2-3 times a day, other times I'll select a watch and wear it for a week or more.

Wait what? $250?!
Does he have any other gens he'd like to sell? Rolex, Panerai, IWC, AP etc...
lol if he does I'll be taking a ticket and joining the que!
-
What a bargain. So your friend has move across to Rolex, not up! These are some of the nicest watches out there - not that I'm in any way biased, as the owner of several gens and reps lol. Wear in good health.

With all due respect, and I feel your disappointment with the TD's service, it's no use posting this unless you're prepared to name them.

Well done all, another scammer gone.
-
Not seen him around for a while, he always posted some good advice. Hope he's okay.
-
Nice order. Now the hard part - waiting tic toc tic toc .....
-
How about deleting the post from makes2068 before someone tries to buy it from that site.
-
Gents, he is indeed a candidate for the Ban Hammer. But that puts him out of reach by our contact methods here.
I think for now, a nice timeout is in order.
Bye bye Gracie.
Nanuq, can the negative feedback he's left for members be removed?
-
And in that manner, we should be able to prevent and/or rectify bad feedback left for others in an unjustified manner.
For example, what's stopping anyone from leaving 10 bad feedbacks for someone else without rhyme or reason?
Perhaps a mandatory link to the sales thread should be included, and members should be given a chance to appeal bad feedback.
It would give more credit to the RWG feedback system.
Just a thought.
Indeed, a link to the sale thread is a very good idea. As for Messi10, a swift smack with the ban hammer seems a good idea too.

I went many years ago and the only reps I saw were junk Rolex. Don't bother would be my advice.
-
Thank you very much, I'm leaning towards the HEV at the moment.I'd go with HE.
Interesting project too.
Good luck!

That's lovely AJ, a real piece of history. Alas, it's too big for me, so wear it in good health.

The addiction never truly goes away, does it? Please tell me it does!!!!!!

Okay guys, I'm thinking about building a fantasy Omega: my grail. It's been done before in various guises, here's one photo stolen from the net.
Basically, it's a Seamaster Professional 2254, but with a Seamaster 2230 dial and a PO bezel, crystal and second hand.
I've been collecting the parts for a while and have either with me, or in transit everything bar the PO bezel, insert and second hand.
Now, I have a rep 2254 on its way to me and hopefully will be here in a week or so, but do I use a Seamaster GMT case, i.e. sans HEV or do I stick with a 2254 case? Opinions please.
Here is my rep GMT alongside its gen brother. I could use this or wait for the 2254, which already has a PO crystal installed.
I managed to obtain a 2230 dial when I purchased a gen 2230 recently, unfortunately it needs a relume as one of the markers is missing it's lume
The 2230 dial is similar to the 2254, but has lume filled applied markers (white gold?) rather than painted. This makes it look more like a PO dial and some consider it an upgrade. So, should I go sans HEV?

122,000 Euros, or learn to run very fast! lol lovely looking watch, you'd better get saving.
-
Good job!
Hey on your bracelet, is there a gap between the end link and first link?
On my 007 there is
I don't think so, or at least it's not enough to worry about. I'll have a look when I'm home and report back if there is a large gap.
As for removing the bezel; it just seemed easier to do this first and then remove the insert, also I was conserned about scratching the crystal if I left the bezel in place.
-
Great job, now you'll be up to frakening yourself an entire watch in no time!
......as it happens, I do have a project planned, but it'll be a job for my watchmaker once I gather all the parts together. I'll post up a new thread before I start as I want opinions on a couple of things.
-
100% better, still think you could have managed it without taking the bezel of though? iv'e never failed to get one of from the front just takes time and patience
You're probably right. I was just wary as I didn't know how thick the insert would be and with it being ceramic, I didn't want to risk cracking, snapping, or otherwise breaking it. Anyway, with the bezel tool it only took a minute to remove the bezel.

If you want one look in the M2M sales section on the various rep sites, chances are someone has done all the hard work with the QC and you may get a bargain.
