I had a difficult time deciding whether or not to post this, but in the end I found myself becoming more annoyed and feel it's worth at least informing my fellow members of the issue.
First off - Let me say that I am not complaining about the quality of the watch involved and am very happy with it. But........ On to the story.......
I jumped on a U-Boat Bronze Chimera as soon as it was released. Transaction went very smoothly with one of our most reputable TD's. Received the QC Pics in a couple of days and happily approved them.
Yesterday I received the shipment and the watch, while stunning and perfectly acceptable, is NOT the watch in the QC photos I approved. Below are the QC photo along with my photo, showing the S/N plate on the watch. QC photo shows 004/300. Watch I received is 106/300.
Maybe a simple mistake, but the term "trusted dealer" implies better performance. If the watch had arrived with some significant issue, this would be much more than the slight annoyance that is is for me.
Anyway...... Just something to watch out for when ordering in the future. Keep a keen eye on things guys.
