From earlier in the thread:

"Waiting on two cases from DW since November 26."

I got a call today (2-8-11), telling me the cases arrived after two months plus. I will pick them up tomorrow.

I do not have a paypal account (looong story about paypal and 'watchloverdavid' in 2002), so a friend ordered them for me. Without me knowing about it, he jumped the gun and put up bad feedback a few weeks ago. I asked him to take it down and assume he did.

DW refunded the $$.

We will send the $$ back to DW.

...and I owe DW an apology for the bad feedback. :black_eye:

DW refunded the $$.

Here is the scoop on the cases (both cases are just alike):

1...The sides of the cases are not flat but rounded like a DJ.

2...The lugs are bored for small DJ size springbars.

3...On one case, the case tube threads are cut out of true (the crown is tilted down) and the crown binds against the crownguard.

3...The back of the cases are flat as should be but there is a very shallow square edged groove cut in the caseback instead of a rounded groove so an oem spec round section gasket will not work. One case came with a flat gasket, the other one did not have a gasket. Some kind of very thin flat gasket would have to be used.

4...One crystal was mounted at an angle and not level around the edge. I removed the bezel by pushing the crystal and bezel assembly off with my finger from the back side with almost no effort. The supplied crystal will not seat flat on the case without danger of cracking...it is quite a bit too small ID. The other case has the crystal mounted flat so I left it alone (it is the one with the crooked case tube).

5...A genuine 127 crystal is a loose fit on the case neck and the inner bezel just falls down over it with no friction at all.

They are (summed up in one word)...JUNK. :thumbdown:

I waited over 2 months for this.

They are going back on a slow boat to China.

Probably take a couple years.

I give up. :wallbash:
