  1. A member that's been here for 5+ years sells a watch for $1500 to a new member that's been here for 3 months.

     

    Buyer pays $500 via PP.

     

    Seller decides to send the watch on trust as buyer says the remaining $1000 is on the way via bank transfer.

     

    Watch arrives at buyer.

     

    Seller doesn't get the $1000, buyer saying the it's been paid but doesn't know where it is, says the bank transfer has now been cancelled and it'll be paid via PayPal.

     

     

    Is that about right upto that point?

     

     

     

    Put yourself in the sellers shoes and say what the above seems like *to the seller*?

     

     

    If I was the seller I'd be kicking myself for sending it on trust. It seems like a scam, like the buyer has convinced a foolish seller to send a $1500 watch after receiving only $500. I can't blame the seller for flying over and getting the watch back and being angry.

     

    You certainly should get the $500 back now as it's back up for sale again, and I'm assuming you're tracking the bank manager down to get the $1000 back?

     

     

    Buy the seller, not the watch.

    Buy the buyer, not the money.

     

     

    I have all the administration proof, bank transfer receipt, bank authorisation cancellation form.

    its not just on emails.

    i may not be very active here, but I am on another forum..and one should be judged according to that?

     

    then get FLEX out and clear his own name...as far as I am concerned, he has everything now...the watch, the 500, maybe the 1000.

    I certainly am waiting for the 1000 to be returned to me

     

     

     

  2. http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/163233-fs-franken-pam-004l/

     

    I paid full price for the watch.

    Gave Flex a deposit of $500 USD via paypal and paid the remaining $1000USD via bank remittance. Watch was sent to me while the remittance was in process.

    Its been a month, seller insisted that he has not received the remittance.

    I called up my bank everyday to ask what had happened.

     

    In the end, I told Seller I have decided to cancel the remittance, wait for the monies then pay via paypal instead.

    Seller flew to my country and demanded the watch back. 3 days ago, he came and gotten the watch back.

    Feeling sorry I gave him 2 extra straps out of goodwill gesture. He said he will inspect the watch and then to refund the $500 deposit that I paid initially.

     

    Everyday since the cancellation, I have been hounding the bank why the lengthy process of returning the $1000USD back to me.

    I was told that I needed to wait for the beneficiary bank to reply. There was nothing I can I do at this point. Bank also advised to take cue from them if its time to make a police report.

     

    3 days passed since I handed over the watch to seller. Send him numerous emails asking for the refund of $500 first. He hadnt reply since.

    My last email to him was if he doesnt reply by the hour today, I would post online before pursuing further actions.

     

    If he had withdrawn the 1000USD and claimed that he never received the monies, flew to my country and asked for the watch back and still had not refund me the deposit.

    Could I have been scammed?!!

  3. are you kidding me?, look carefully at the bezel screws...unless its the lighting/reflection or my eyes playings tricks, do they look like they are screwed in well, aligned?

    ask InTime to give you more QCs, different angles,

     

    just 2? that alone I would have asked Ryan to resend.

  4. now that my ban is lifted...

     

    friend, there was no asking price in our thread.

     

    as to why 2500 euros, i was saying that it wouldnt surprised me if the full mod works when ready, cost around 2500 euros.

     

    would you like me to printscreen our conversation and show it here?

     

    i was going to but in full consideration that you will be made a laughing stock for the lack of literacy skills, english reading comprehension, to be precise.

     

    this shall suffice.

  5. Gotten myself a V4 Swiss ETA with rubber strap few weeks ago.

     

    Just ordered the V4.1 Swiss ETA with SS bracelet and was hoping to alternate between rubber and bracelet without the hassle of switching.

    So happened now that the SS bracelet is not available till a couple of weeks time.

     

    I am thinking, if indeed the V4.1 is a better choice, I will let the V4 go to any interested parties and buy the SS bracelet separately.

    What are your thots, please share?

     

    Here are the QC Pics. for V4.1

  6. will there be further versions upcoming?

     

    surely, TDs would have known that the non carbon models have been upgraded to 4.1.

    why isnt the inner bezel updated on this carbon model then?
