Hype. Hope. Nope. Next please. Expectation exceeds reality, most of the time. Especially when it's a rep! Bought at a discount on the used market, they will be more appreciated.

Such a handsome watch, but that crown is a bit ridiculous to me. Seems like it digs into your wrist? Dealbreaker?

If I was the TD, I'd cancel the deal.

Third party insurer. That's what jewelry pros do. Package goes anonymous, but you and insurer know what's up. Zero advertising on package for scum to peruse. There are several that do this, but some want you to prove you are a pro, too.

It's fine if he doesn't want anything to do with some of you anymore, BUT fer[censored]sake, grow up and let them know where their property is and when they can expect to see it. This includes Finn. I have no respect for people who dismiss their basic professional responsibilities even if they think their customers are dicks at this point. It's just childish. Man up and handle your business - customers sucking is no excuse to effectively steal their property.

My experience with Cape Cod usage is simple: gin & lobster after the beach. Am I missing something?

Hell hath no fury like a watchmaker scorned, they say. That is what they say, isn't it? I really hope thinking is employed before acting whence bad thoughts creep in. I really thought this thing had been turned around - guess it just kept turning....

I don't get it? You're a submissive who doesn't take any [censored]? It's OK. I know your a straight-shootin'-tough guy and I'll keep my distance. Have fun here - a great bunch of guys with a sense of humor, though I suppose we should get to know you before we give you any [censored]. I'll concede that.

1680 was doing a little ribbing and not worthy of the humorless and rude reply. 1680 - take back that apology - it's completely unnecessary. Anyone who starts off this way is sure to continue in this way. Only keyboard warrior is the OP.

This is no fun, of course, but calling Christopher Ward "gen" is kind of funny. Probably has parts made in the same factories as reps.

I think the public airing is helpful to all. Shows what not to do and what can happen even when you try to do it the 'right' way (whatever that is). I understand the frustration of the buyer and I believe the seller. I don't see what the problem is with having this out in the open. The seller needed to see what the hive thought. And now they both know. I would never use that shipper again, that's for sure.

Restraint is the cornerstone of decorum. Many think free speech trumps decorum. I don't. Right place right time for everything. I don't care about the outcome of this debate as far as this site is concerned, but I'd be hard pressed to believe forced decency in avatars/sigs is a good enuf reason to bail.

Hi Richard. If I ever sell a watch, and you want it, I will happily send it to the UK. And if I don't want to because I'm sick of all the brits, kiwis, aussies and their ilk here in NYC using the word 'mate' too much, then I'll send you a nice PM indicating that I've been mated to death and just can't bear to ship anything to mate's birthplace. But that's unlikely, so I'll probably ship it to you, if you're willing to sing the star spangled banner while wearing a Beyonce mask. That's reasonable, right? Seriously, replying to a PM is easy and nice. And obviously not for everyone.

It Tudor's main visual differentiating point to it's more famous cousin. And, they just look way cooler. Fat hands rule. See vintage Squales for more evidence of this phenomenon.

Scratches and dings are small price to pay for the remarkably controlled chaos our our society (even Canada!). I can't help but chuckle at the people with those ridiculous Bumper Bullys dangling from their cars. Free yourself of material worship - waste of time. Don't be mad, I like nice things too, I just like them banged up a little.
