hey signumboy, sorry to hear this. but when you're buying on ebay, you need to do your homework. this may sound a little harsh, but you didn't. the good thing is that you will not make this mistake again. the first red flag is a low feedback count. although dexter 123's feedback is 100%, he's only sold 7 items. i personally would not buy a big ticket item from a seller with less than 100 positive feedbacks. if you go a bit further and click his actual feedback score, you will see that two people have left follow up comments about his watches being fake! i assume one of those comments are yours. if not, you will be the third. anyway, we've all done it so don't beat yourself up. i wish you the best of luck with paypal and please keep us posted with the outcome. all the best.

way to go pete. we're all glad to see you posting again! -
could we have the action number to see the listing?
-
yes, see below my first 45mm planet ocean rep. it was a cheaper version that i ordered solely because of the logo. it turned out to have a lot more other flaws compared to the ultimate (which i also bought). because of the price point, i have since sold both and purchased the genuine. regarding the ploprof, i too am surprised to see this logo. anyway, i'm no expert but will be sure to post some pics when mine arrives!

very nice! i've been contemplating a g-shock for a workout watch as well. i really like this one because of the size and color. what did you pay if you don't mind me asking? thanks. -

wheaton26 replied to omegaguy's topic in The Rolex Area
you're welcome og. we look forward to seeing what you've got for sale. all the best. -
cool. i've never been, but i've heard of the famous soggy dollar. all the best buddy.
-
fun project ... congratulations! my only constructive criticism would be the three different colors of lume. my $0.02 would be to stick with one color. it helps with esthetics. best of luck with your venture. the price is certainly right.
-

well you guys are going to love this recent article (see below) from askmen. Stop Wearing Panerai The Watch Snob is in. You may think you know watches, but let's be real -- you just don’t. Let me, a true horological aficionado, enlighten your plebeian minds as to what makes a real watch, what you should wear when and what to do with those old watches of yours. All the opinions expressed by the Watch Snob are my own, and are just that -- opinions. Don’t worry, though, AskMen will still be bringing you great features on interesting watches to buy, both old and new, expensive and cheap. For now, let the Watch Snob reign. Dear loyal Watch Snob readers, I am taking a week off from answering your common -- and sometimes downright silly -- questions to get something off my chest. Each and every week I receive dozens of e-mails that sound a lot like this: “I’m a recent graduate of state school X and I am about to start a career in some boring, suited-up field. I want a watch that I think will give me a personality even though it’s apparent to all that I do not have one. Should I buy a Panerai? I once saw a guy driving a BMW with a hot blond sitting shotgun wearing a Panerai or a Breitling (they’re huge and flashy) -- and that’s how you attract attention, right? Please advise, Watch Snob.” Sounds familiar, doesn’t it? It should because you probably wrote me one of these messages. However, as of right now, I will not be answering anything that sounds remotely close to the above. Get over the hackneyed, mainstream choices and move on to something real. There is nothing, and I do mean nothing, worse than a young man who wears a Panerai watch. These watches were cool five years ago, and even then they were only cool if you were Italian (and I don’t mean Jersey Shore Italian -- I mean actually a resident of Italy). Sure, Sheamus had a Radiomir back in 2004, but after one week of wrist time and the type of attention he received, he ended up trading it in for a vintage Rolex Submariner. If you think wearing a Panerai is cool in the year 2010, you probably also think you invented the boat shoe and the ironic mustache trends. If you want to know what I think is on the polar opposite end of the authentic and cool spectrum, look at anything from A. Lange & Sohne. This German uber-manufacture is making the best men’s watches in the world right now. Its Datograph is likely the greatest chronograph movement ever made, and it’s just as great to look at as it is to feel start, stop and reset in your hand. If you’re a man of distinction, a man who really has the world by its throat, you need a Lange on your wrist. A Panerai is child’s play -- a cheap toy worn only by clowns. Yes, I said clowns. Now that I have told you what I think about Panerai once and for all, and also who I believe to be the ne plus ultra of the horological world, can we stop with the recommendation questions? Sincerely, The Watch Snob
