I talked to him on ebay and convinced him that the watch is a fake. He won't believe it until I showed him a few pictures with the same serial number. I told him to file paypal complaint to get his money back.

Rolex was cheaper than Omega...

Get a fiddy.

Blame the Power Max members who are in every single thread.

@flyback It was from River. You can check my photo ablum for more pictures. The only problem is that the crystal is not sapphire and that's why I never wear it outdoor. Good for collection though.

There are flaws, but sales lady just didn't know where they are.

Congrats Andrew.

You can find lots of information here. These guys are experts. http://www.fatwallet.com/c/52/

I brought a MBW 1680 to a watchsmith on Bowery to replace the crystal with a genuine 127 crystal. well, you guess what. This guy put the crystal with the mag window at 12 minutes instead of 15. He also made a few scratches on the brand new crystal. Hell, the crystal is like $50. He is either blind or he simply doesn't care. Quoted, "This is a fake and I don't understand why are you putting a new crystal on it. The original crystal looks the same to me. I actually spent 2 hours to put the metal part back." I had to pay $25 to get my watch back and eventually I replaced a new crystal myself. I only spent 15 minutes. Wasted $75!

well, unless you think you know more than the scientist. I don't...

It's not hard to find one in NYC, but the problem is that most of them suck... so far two repair guys ruined my watches and I still had to pay it.

I bought a Bell and Ross on 20th.

if you can afford a genuine strap, I found one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/I-W-C-Portugieser-Croc...1QQcmdZViewItem

It could be just a simple water-proof test.

well, he is the victim...now trying to pass his loss. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=200008932639

I am sure I ve seen this crap before.

You have used all your win-a-free-watch quota.

a genuine strap: http://cgi.ebay.com/I-W-C-Portugieser-Croc...1QQcmdZViewItem

Very likely a replica. I remember a dealer asked me if I am interested in any Panerai shirts, cups... and a lot of chinese made grammatical mistake like "especially" = "specially" For example: http://www.replica-watch.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6591 Btw, I have a PAM goggle. I actually used it in Hawaii.

problem is that the website takes forever to load.

no, the dealer is not Paul.

and the marker @2 is missing.

He moved to a new site. www.wo-mart.com I ordered a B&R 01 and a Cartier Santos 100 last night. I got a reply from Paul this morning.

You should have shipped it with Global Priority Mail. It's only $5 and you get a tracking number.
