16610 tonight, had the porrika on today which is a great little beater

also worryingly is in my search for a reasonable sub date i found a bond street pre-owned seller that also has a similar write up. decided there and then not to trust my cash to them

Found this whilst trawling the net, the lack of knowledge by sellers in the 'real' watch game, of rep watches, really suprises me!

Wonder where he ordered from - made to order in 3 weeks

My link

Red I think board trades may well be the future but I have used the so called Cartel for each except two of my previous purchases and not had a single problem, tell a lie one was DOA and it was replaced before I had even wrote out the return address.

Slick, the issue I have is the lack of QC from someone who sells their service as based on it, although come to mention it I have never seen that wrote anywhere in the sales pitch, just what I have gleened from spending a while here!

The scenario is you buy a watch and even though the dealer promises QC, it turns up with a number of imperfections and its evident the watch has just been dropshipped. Your patient, you wait, you incur return postage costs, you get told a story about a replacment being on route, but then get a contradictory email stating that the original watch is now fixed, although the main problem still exists and you think to yourself "i thought it was a replacement????"

You wait for nine weeks, get offered various scenarios, none are ideal and then finally you lose patience and post on here only for someone to say "his a good un, he will sort it" and you think aaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh, obviously not that much of a good one or nine weeks after sending my cash I would have hopefully be just over seven weeks into the owenership of the watch instead of sitting here thoroughly [censored] off. Oh hang on though wait for the post that says "this is the rep game and its all part and parcel of the FUN of the game" business is business, receive funds, provide a service simple isn't it.

QC my [censored] - load of bollox

Rant over for now!!!!

Actually on second thoughts no it isn't, if people are prepared to reimburse me for a days lost income and pay for the flights etc I wll go and get our watches and crystals back from that thieving [censored] Jakub - I accept paypal

If your going watch hunting I would always wear a gen no matter what the make.

Love Vegas was trying to justify a third trip in just over a year by going to the next Hatton fight but I've slagged him off too much to then turn round and say to the wife I was desperate to go

Enjoy your trip

Does anyone know if any bags available from Trevor's store or other suppliers are suitable for 17" laptops? I have asked Bobo but couldnt make sense of the reply

Seems most would only be big enough for a 15" or so laptop.

Cheers

thanks all sorted now

I am totally stumped with the rubber ocean racer strap, its the ratchet end's spring bars or apparent lack of them that i cant suss out, there was a pic posted but it doesnt seem to still be there, can someone who has successfully resized or knows how to please show me by a pic if possible how to do this?

Thanks

If your talking about the standard rubber strap it doesnt have any seams on the sides. If you really want a good close up pic of the gen pm me your email address and i will take one and send it!

purely for speed and tracking purposes, for the sake of $35 its worth it imo

Just checked and on route :-)

I ordered last night and have a EMS tracking number......not saying it is on route yet just that i have been supplied one!

I ordered black last night because of concerns over whether the blue was accurate not just strap but dial. It could well be, just didnt want to take the risk.

will do, im trying to order a custom 4mm mesh strap now thats 24mm parallell - now that would be a beast of a strap :-)

Nice one thanks will check those out!

I have managed to find two suppliers of mesh bracelets to suit 24mm lug width, they are;

lonestar & watchband

Is anyone aware of anymore - EU preferably!!

im pretty sure they sorted that with this revised issue, pulled the trigger anyway on this one tonight as I kept trying on the original and was getting more and more tempted to buy that so have subdued the urge with the rep for now!

ok sounds normal enough then hope its arrived by the time I arrive back home on Friday :-)

Anyone ordered and received one of these yet, priced at $258 including ocean racer strap? Pretty keen to pull the plug but wondering on the quality of the strap and clasp!

Awesome strap and nice combo exactly the look i'm looking for is it a HKtan strap?

Bro..this is standard procedure! Wait and you

Anyone had this on a UK incoming parcel, ordered a watch from Angus and the tracking details are below, if it gets confiscated will i get a replacement sent out FOC?

Im gutted this is the 10th watch I have bought from our dealers and the only one not from trusty and it gets nabbed!

Nope...

The Ocean racer strap is 24mm wide, while the SFSO, Blackbird, Skyland and Chronomat has a 22mm lugwidth and use the "old" Breitling rubber strap.

ok thanks thought as much as would have expected to see some other watches sporting those straps

Will this fit the skyland and SFSO?
