I have been away from my computer for a few days and just read this thread. I would like to say that I am glad that this information has been made available to the general fora and not kept locked away in an admin thread. This needs do be known and now that the information is out there let each individual make their own decision as to who they would like to do business with. I was a longtime customer of the implicated dealer and will not be ordering from him anymore. I can not trust a person like that with my credit card information.
I have seen much of this drama over the years across the fora. Things like TTK's customer service implosion, the cartel price fixing wars etc. I look back on that drama fondly and to be quite honest without it would be like telling history without the wars!!! So another page in rep history is being written.
Now all the noobs who missed out on the past drama will have something to feel a part of.
Very nice. That Chinese ceramic is hard as [censored]. It is a nightmare to work with. I have a DSSD and the insert sits to high in the bezel. I have used several grades of sandpaper, emery cloth, industrial files and now I am using a diamond file all with little luck so far. This has turned into a nightmare project.
This quote is subjective and purely based on individual opinion. I would say a quote like that would apply to your "Ice Bangs" and Blinged out Brietlings NOT to a Subzilla or a Fiddy even less so to a clean PAM 111.
I have been wearing large watches for many years. I could care less what the fashionista's tell me I should be wearing. That said I have found my interests in big Panerai's and Brietlings start to shift more towards vintage Rolex models. This is due in large part because of the very active and informative Rolex section of this forum.
