Outch, what a punch

If all rep dealers can do this kind of whereabout/OutOfOffice, we would have less no reply frustration Good holidays, lucky guy!

No. The SSD that you just ordered from Andrew is the best rep Rolex ever made, the new GMT II (ceramic bezel) as well, yes, but the mvt is not reliable like the SSD due to the GMT hand. So keep it, and go with MBW seadweller as well if you are hooked to SeaDweller. Note that the current gen SD z series model will be rare due to the fact that it is now discontinued and will be rare, it will be replace by the new SD Deep Sea, that still not receive unanime positive critics. At an AD, the owner of the store told me if I can put my hand on a SD Z series, I should go for it. He already sold all of them like little hot bread.

Loctite 242, the one on left side? Please Fred comfirm

Don't worry my friend (we all exagerate a little bit here, it's the fun of this thread), I was in a inch to buy a Panarai two months ago, but my girl friend didn't like it...so, you see, opinion can change...maybe in two months, I will want a 64k GOLD 50mm Rolex with full of black pearls on it

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: and..and... if that wasn't enough for me, I have THE moon watch ...sorry, there's was no bigger font available than size 7... ho well....I repeat this thread is a real therapy

A moose doll to satisfy Mr. M !!!

Ok, now I need to vent... I HATE Panairai, so plain, case is so dull, even the hands are dull, there's is just the crown that is fun on this watch. I HATE diamond watch, all of them. Sorry but that look fag. Period. again (yes, again) I HATE diamond watch on rapper's all of you who know F*** nothing in watch stuff, you just trying to proof that you success in your life because you can buy these watch, and a your F*** Mercedes with magnesium wheel mag with the famous BANG BANG music in your trunk...oh yeah! YOU. I HATE these 46mm watch, are you wearing watch for the person who is on the other side of the side walk ? I HATE these GOLD Rolex, these old fashion model, with all scratch on crystal, with bracelet that is so slack, that some old men got, with gold chain on they're neck, and wrist, and big rings, with big eyeglass with, again, gold frame, they look like comming direcly from LasVegas, they smell gold at 10miles around. That stinks so much. ok I'll stop here, I'm near to have a heart attack... I feel better now...that's a true therapy, I think I'll continue to give for my Supporter membership. Thank to listenning I'll sit down now.

Watch is like clothings. We can comment and critics on watch like we can do for clothings; classic style, sport syle, trash style (scrap jeans), casual (dockers), military, bling bling, signature clothings, marginal, etc. same for shoes... I tried to build my watch collection like my wardrobe (not sure if I have the right term here, my english is so so), important is, "compatibility" with the clothings that you will put on. For all comments that was said about: - Rolex, HBB (look, I'm rich, I have sens of taste) - Grahams (the gun trigger, watch out, you will receive a bullet) - Diamond watch (I have so much money, that I don't know where to spend it), - SeaXYZ (look, I can do sea diving with this watch at 100 000 000 000m under sea) etc. they are all true, so true. But the important is equilibrium. A chevy van with a diamond watch, it's like wearing a HugoBoss outfit with a Casio G shock , but a Casio G-Shock in moutain bike outfit, on a $3000 Mountain bike, going down moutain at 50km/hr, in dust and dirt, it will fit, but with a HBB (even a rep), man, return to do your homework.

DUPLICATE - TO DELETE

You did the right choice. Even if you don't wear the bracelet. When it will come to sell, if it's the case some day, you will be able to sell the watch with a better value, even more if you don't wear the bracelet at all and it's like new (hint, remove it when you will receive your watch).

Andy you are a

Not sure if chief can do that... but anyway I'm an extremist guys, that mean it's all black or all white, full AR or nothing.

There's two groups of customer, one tolerate mediocre service, so they receive mediocre service, and because they never ask more and they are satisfy with that, they will never receive more than that. Second group ask for top service, and they will obtain top service by the rule of the market. I'm part of the second group. I work hard to get my money (by giving a top service at my job because the company require that), so I'm in my right, cuz I'm the client, to ask top service. Yes, I can go elsewhere, but do you thing that will change things in this market? Remember, it's because we all yell about receiving Clone instead of Swiss mvt when we bought swiss that now dealers are pretty much more sensitive about this problem, and for good reasons. Hiding from problems don't resolve them by themself. Of course I can wait 5 days for a reply, but I'll not take this like "normal" for a web sites that prone top service. There's some whereabout/outofoffice/ autoreply etc. tools that exist, that was my point.

Agrrrr... I fixed my mind, and now you confuse me.... I hate you

LOL! well, if this business is so lucrative, why just get more employes, helllllloooooooo!!! business wise!!!!

I think I'll leave it like it is, like gen... if I coat it, and it need removing AR in case I scratch the AR (du to the lack of crystal protection and tickness of the crystal over the bezel) that can be painful. You remember my 3717 how the AR factory was tough to remove chief? The Zigmeister and you worked hard to remove the AR. Your AR are even more tough to remove/buff that mean it is more difficult to scratch too... ho well...thanks guys, I'll remove this idea of my mind.

Exactly, I think the same thing...but at the same time, I'm worry about the QC issue, that is already a BIG problem... very soon due to the volume of sells, that will cause a lot of return and that will give some headache to dealer, and the client will suffer too ... hummm...

Interesting topic. I understand your point. IMHO The web site is the most easy way to shop. Keeping this market in low profile, and privacy, is no more necessary now to purshase a rep (know the secret handshake) like in the pass. On web site, they are pretty clear about law, "products are replicas and are meant for entertainment & novelty purposes only...", etc. read the terms of Andrew or Josh, they know the rules before going on business. I'm pretty sure some lawyers are behind to write terms. This is clear, buying/selling cover by encryption message/email, using photobucket to shop it's now obsolete, and I will never go back, except for collector for exemple who don't have web site, and have a specific item that I want, instead that, I shop on the net, referred of course by members on rep forum. Now, that doesn't mean that all web site owner drive they're web site correctly, that can be another topic

maybe I got the last one, I put hand on it monday and now it all sold out... but it mention it will be back in stock in few days... keep

I purshase a SSD and the new GMT II, and I think about coating the crystal with chief AR on the SSD. All of you who own a SD, do you think that will be a sacrelege ? The new SD Deep Sea that replace the current SD will have AR (correct me if it's false). All Rolex are pretty flashy, and crystal made part of this (reflexion on the crystal)... well, for those who coat there crystal, comments will be appreciate. I'm pretty used to chief AR now (all my watch have AR), do I need to live with some exception because the GEN don't has the AR too?

So you are probably a Badger + Double edge razor fan too. If not, you really need to try that... and fountain pen, and....

Get both, cuz one of them, you will not satisfied. After settle down, when your preference will be fixed, sell one of them (if you want) or keep both. You talk about buying GEN watch isn't ? [joke]

After 5 days, I got automatic email that say the status change from "payment problems" to "sent" with a tracking, but I didn't receive explanation what was the problem. I conclude one thing, the rule is like you say, just be patient. When an item is mention in stock, and shipping delay is 5-7 days, I expect to receive it in 5-7 days when I do my check-out, except when there's a problem, like in my case, so it's totally justify in my case. And I don't argue about that, but with the fact that if we receive no answer, it's considerate like "normal" in rep world, and we are suppose to tolerate that. No way. A business is a business. Please, please.... If this is the kind of "excuse" you give to your boss when you can't answer his question/demand/request, and you are supose to be available, you will be fired. Right away. I'm a client, and it's an international web site business, I'm not suppose to deal with these kind of stuff (come on...), it's the business/seller to deal with that, not me. If the business on the web site is close for few days for x y z reasons, there's a simple system that called a "whereabout", that can be put on the home page, like a message, or an autoreply email, like "due to the volume of email we receive right now, we can only answer your email in 24-48 hours", or, if you like, just to be little sarcastic: " We take a few days off to lay in the sun, but after we take enough sun, we will answer you" . The Zigmeister has a simple system, an autoreply/whereabout, and that prevent some communication waiting/problem/frustration. Being responsable of your communication is the rule no1 in business. I hear you, and he has a really good reputation. And it's one of very few dealer with who I really trust to purchase rep, I was disappointed from others (no QC, dropshipper, receive wrong model, etc..) One thing I like on his site, is, he's the first that I know who made the distinction of a Clone 2836, and a ETA 2836 and choose with a dropdown when you buy with mvt you want, the price reflect these changes. For me it's a big + to choose. But now, that begin to change for other dealers too after some debats here about fooling, receiving a Clone instead a Swiss mvt, we complaint and was tired about this practice, things move, finally

The problem is, I receive a status from angus site that mention "Payment problems" three days ago now, and the status is still the same, so the pacakge is not send yet, probably until we resolve this, but what I don't understand is the payment passed the validation on my credit card company after calling them.
