greekgod Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 HI guys I think I am heading in that direction where I feel the watch I will be receiving will be different from what I ordered with a TD. I am sure I ordered a V2 but will be getting a V3 (with updated lume dots). Skyland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrboombasteke Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Where did you order it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimpie007 Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 I hope you don;t receive a Slyland LOL. Wel the TD should have told you fairly that he could not get a v2 and reach agreement or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekgod Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 lol Well Wimpie .. its the watch you saw in the QC section and you even commented on it. Thing is I haven't received it yet. The TD says he has send exactly what I purchased from the website.. and on the website I definitely clicked on the 'Skyland Ultimate V2'. Well I have receipt from the site. I have a feeling I was quietly send whatever was in the stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Assuming that it is one of the main dealers here and you are confident the QC pics are of the wrong watch you should reach out to him and let him know that the piece in the pictures is unacceptable and why. If you have pics of what you want send it to him. Just make sure you let him know in whatever the allotted time period the dealer specified when he sent you the QC pics. If you do that and he sends it out anyhow than you are justified either asking for a refund (depending on the dealer it may or may not be possible) or ordering a different piece. You also need to be sure that you and the dealer have the same idea as to what a V2 is. Be forewarned that if you do nothing within the allotted time period to reject the watch it is then entirely his call. Obviously if you have bought from the dealer in the past that will be helpful.

greekgod Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 Thanks W, Well the thing is he sent me the QC pics and I OKed it however noticed it later that the typical "1"s on the bezel which make it distinguishable from V3 were not there! and also a few people commented on the picture put in the QC section of repgeek and they said it was V3 (I put the QC pics on only after I OKed them as its a condition of sale). Also the link on his website which I clicked to "buy" the watch said "ultimate V2" The dealer is a very trusted dealer and I have dealt with him before. He is probably in the top 2-3 TDs.

greekgod Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 If I can just add... When I ordered V2 and received the QC pics ... I have taken from granted that obviously the watch is V2 all I need to do it check for any quality control defects etc.. little did I notice that the entire watch is actually different!

Watchmeister Posted November 28, 2011 Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 If you approved it you are at the mercy of the dealer. To be frank you are supposed to know what you are ordering. In fairness I do understand your frustration as you specified a particular version which it sounds like it isn't. Your only hope is that because the transaction is with one of the more established dealers he may cut you some slack. I know you know all this. So I would beg.

greekgod Posted November 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2011 lol ...actually as you pointed out there may be a hidden clue here .. I read somewhere that the 'Ultimate V2' is actually an updated V3 !! damn !! well Ill still see when I receive the watch.. but thanks again W. Ur wisdom is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneed12 Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 FYI: There's no "official rep numbering institute" or anything like that. A V3 is what we at the forums have decided to call one particular variation of some watch. There is absolutely no guarantee that the dealer uses the same nomenclature. It could easily just be a misunderstanding in good faith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats what has happened here..however I thing the new V3 is a brilliant watch..only issue is that it cost me $80 more!! and I need to know how to shorten the bracelet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
