I understand all of that but i am seeking a solution now. Can anybody advise me as what to do now in terms of fixing the problem?

Yes it did but i thought it would be a fix that domi could do but he can't. Whst do you guys think can be done about it...?

Hi guys, I posted some time ago a topic about my BK Rolex DSSD that had a stripe missing on the E of escape on the inner ring. My watch is currently with Dominico for mods and repair of the missing stripe. However, Domi informed me that the bottom stripe that is not enamel filled cannot be restored because the stripe is not engraved into the metal and therefore can't be filled. Can anybody please advise me as what I can do to get this right??? Is it possible to get it engraved or do I need to replace the ring or case completely? If so, what would be the cost, supplier and chance of it being able to fit with the parts that come of the current watch such as bezel, crystal, movement and dial? I have all these parts being serviced and modded at the moment so therefore I just want a proper case/ring with correct writing. Please help me out guys... Here is a pic of the problem. Thanks,

Guys, As I have said before, finally a solution has been reached. I did sent BK an email first before SEEKING ADVICE on the forum here. It was never my intention to badmouth BK. I was hoping to find a quick solution so that I could take my watch with me on holiday. If I could have done it myself with all of yours advice, I would have done it. Unfortunately, I am not very technical person. BK normally ships through a forwarder in UK to EU but I accepted customs risk to get it here directly so that I could take it with me on holiday. And after taking that risk to see a watch that is not the way it was supoosed to be, I am understandbly dissapointed. Anyway, it all worked out so enjoy your topless Tuesday

Bk has agreed now to pay me the 35 euro for my watchmaker to fix it. Problem solved. Thanks for the support.

@ Mikallem and Sneed12: I am suprised that you say BK is a fair person while you can't even spell his name; BH In case you have not read the thread properly, I did not run here to complain only. I sought advice from experienced and mature forum members. You say reps are not for me? Because I spent more then 400 US$ on a product that I expect to be of certain standard in stead of an Asian DSSD for 128 US$, and now I am unhappy because the product has a flaw. So basically you say that everyone who get's a watch that is not as it is supposed to be should step out of the repworld? I guess if everyone would listen to your commentary, this forum would lose a considerable amount of repgeeks. You say that I can buy a heck of a watch for 448US$, but when I complain about a "not so heck of a watch, then I should not complain? Dude, I suggest you read a bit more into a thread before you jump on the bandwagon in the end and give advice as good as Dr. Phill

Hi Guys, I agree with making my watchsmith do the repair. Customs is a big risk and the time it will take to get my money back will be a good while. Anyway, BK does not want to pay for my repair of 35 euros and only is willing to take the watch back and then refund my money. He even says that Amazon would do it the same way and would also not do it any other way. Thanks for your support guys, I told BK to keep the money and forget about it. I am done.

I will ask him to refund me the cost of 35 euro that my watchmaker will charge me to fix it. That is the least he can do. To be continued....

It is his fault that I got the watch like this because he didn't check the watch before he shipped it. It is easy to see this flaw unless you close your eyes. He should take responisbiliity of not delivering the work paid for but I guess he makes enough money and doesn't care about one unhappy customer.

Yes I did, and I had this one already packed to ship back. He wants me to pay another 448 US$ before he ships a new one and refund me when he gets his one back. I explained to him that my paypal is linked to my savings account and that I cannot miss that money since I am going on holiday in one week and need money for that.

Well guys, I tried to work out a solution with BK but he does not care about this customer. He wants me to send the watch back and repaint the stripe that is missing on the E. That means that I can wait another month, have customs risk again and not take the watch with me on holiday. I will never buy from BK again! The guy sell tons of watches and will not stand behind his product as I have other dealers seen doing. What a dissapontment.

Thanks Tee Jay, You would'n by chance no anyone (or yourself) who can do this for me (with payment of course)? I am located in Holland. I need a quick turnaround.

I am not handy at all so I will make the watchmaker do it. How long do you think it would take him and what would he possibly charge me? With what do I remove the excess enamel? Thanks

I spoke to BK already and he told me that it is just a matter of enamel filling in the engraved part. I will go to my watchmaker on Tuesday and explain the process to him. I will ask him to redo all the wording so that it would look the same. Does anyone know what enamel paint to use, glossy or not? And what has to be used to clean the excess enamel paint? Thanks

Hi Bill, I really appreciate your gesture. The problem is that I live in Holland. I did not rush BK. I had order in the begining of May and he he shipped it out one month later. He just sent me a pm and offered me a refund. I really appreciate that also but I really like the watch a lot and would just like to get the issue fixed. I was wondering if Domenico could fix this. I saw a video on this forum on how it is being done with the black enamel etc. and was hoping to find someone in the EU who could do this for me. Thanks again Bill. Dennis
