mymanmatt Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I believe my bezel, insert, and retainer to be genuine, but who really knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highoeyazmuhudee Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Hi fredfree i have delt with this seller many times the items are made for gen watches so the fit should be ok as for aftermarket items is the next best thing from gen parts and his prices are very fair and he accepts returns if not satified i like his inserts ! youd think that. funny thing is a GEN 5513 bezel insert doesnt even fit over their too large Tropic 19. it also bent / destroyed my retaining ring when trying to fit it, because i did not realise it was larger until it was too late. also bought their bezel assembly for a 16610 it was also too large, the crystal took in humidity. i returned it. so unless you want to support your local post office, id avoid WSO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zeleni kukuruz Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Wso and his prices are crazy!!! Take his bezel assamble for the vintage gmt that, would cost me 200$ to EU and thats just crazy! Dosent clark have new bezels for the modern rolexes? I know he hase them for the vintage rolex and they are 100% fit and cheap also against wso! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieselpower Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I just bought two replacement screws for links on a gen 7835 bracelet from WSO. They don't work. The screw threads on the links are way too small for the threaded holes in the gen links. To be fair I have not yet contacted them about this so they do have the chance to rectify the situation. Will keep you posted. I've also been less than impressed with some other WSO stuff. I'll be avoiding them in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephry73 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Welcome to the hell that WSO is. I bought 501 endlinks that were supposed to fit. Not even close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superlative Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 WSO should've been kicked off of eBay long ago. Order and get your finger on the PayPal dispute button! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredfree Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 good to know guys, I'll wait for Clarck to restock what I'm looking for (bezel ass.) it seems the only reasonable alternative to gen. Thanks for the inputs ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Before anyone hits the Buy button for wholesaleoutlet (or any of his various alias accounts, of which there are too many to keep track of), search out previous threads about 'Mr. Slimeball'.

gavidoc Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 WSO is a joke. Returns? HAHAHAHAHA....Wow...my sides are hurting. Pulling a molar without Novocaine is more pleasant.

Seacraft Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 I bought a sub bezel as a backup for a gen from him (WSO) that showed the correct picture on the auction but what was delivered was completely the wrong size and shape. He swore me up and down I was wrong even after I did side by side comparison photos. After a while I did get a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Slimeball even registered a complaint about me with ebay once because I complained that he sent me a part that did not match the pic/description on his website (even though I had his own pics to prove my case, ebay took his side ).

dieselpower Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 I bought an insert from him. It was different to the one pictured. Slimeball by name and by nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
