payhomage Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 but the thing is this watch isnt supposed to have polished mid links.it should be all stainless,so he has photoshoped the watch to look completely wrong. Makes no sense, if he is to photoshop it, why would he make it look wrong? Your saying the gen version of this watch is not supposed to have polished mid-links. Which is correct, mid-links are supposed to be polished, they are supposed to be dull/tarnished. But then again your saying he photoshopped the picture to look like the mid-links are shiny. Wouldn't he want to photoshop it to look dull? Proves point that it is the angle of the picture that consistently is making our eyes question ourselves. I need to get to the bottom of this and to do so - again I am stating - I ordered the watch, pics and video will be uploaded soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 TeeJay, I say the same especially to you. I apologize if you took what I wrote into offense. I greatly apprecaite everyones comments, I am still trying to formulate an opinion on the watch.. I must have mis-wrote or mis-worded my last post. I was in a rush not thinking clearly. Let me explain myself: I do think all of you have a point, however, I feel my TD is giving me a VERY good price. I have been buying products from him for 3 years now and I trust him to not lead me on to something that is faulty. YES - I agree this is definitely photoshopped, that is how he works I guess. Although, I do believe that even though it is photoshopped, it still looks like it must be a great watch before he edited it with a computer software. Anyway, Like I stated, for all our curiosity, I will order this watch from my TD, and when it arrives I will post immediately a full, in detail, with pictures and video, response so we can all understand the background of the watch.I was not offended, I just found it confusing that someone would ask for opinions on something, and even when those opinions are critical, to still go ahead with the purchase... The fact that they are not a known dealer on this forum does not phase me, as I have always preferred to order off-site, and actively distrust some of the forum Trusted Dealers. However, the photo presented, is not what I would consider a QC photo (which should show a clearly identifiable watch in natural surroundings, not a promotional catalogue shot) If your dealer has always been good to you, however, then by all means, trust that relationship, and I'm sure you'll be happy with your purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Il get on that for my own protection. Also thank you for understanding my reach in supply from outside the forum. You all were very helpful.

Also thank you for understanding my reach in supply from outside the forum. You all were very helpful. I have to admit, I've never asked for a QC photo in all my time collecting, and only had one instance of getting the wrong thing, and two instances of receiving goods which were unchecked quality (the same forum trusted dealer who I have not used since) Looking forwards to seeing what you receive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payhomage Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Got the watch in earlier today! Took some pics, took some videos, and already posted FOR SALE on RWI. Why? Wasn't nearly what I expected, and my V1 feels more comforting than the gloss of this rep. Heres the link to the sale on RWI; http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/rolex-submariner-conus-163632.html?p=1647397 So, below you guys have pictures and a link to video. Still looking forward to what you guys think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uxh1o81amc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATerai Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Good luck getting $300 for this. You can get a BP for under 200 (correut?). You will lose a lot of money on this.. Look at that pearl! Edited November 2, 2013 by PATerai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

live1 Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 you may get 90 bucks if your really lucky but i doubt it will sell.i would accept a loss on this and do more research and get something better.good luck palps the box is nice tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianmac Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Canal street quality. This watch is all wrong. Likely a 21j movement too, who knows. The box could be worth more! I guess the moral is always buy from a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 RWI doesn't seem very pleased that you listed the origin as a TD. Also, why do you claim it as a Swiss ETA over there while openly acknowledging its not Swiss in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 jerkstore "openly acknowledging its not Swiss in this thread?" he did, I missed it? This being said that thing is bad PH better luck next time, it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerkstore Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Obviously its not a gen swiss eta, i meant it would be a clone . . . : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
payhomage Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Good morning allJust woke up, read all of what you all had to say and I am truly sorry.Am I wrong that Swiss Stated means that the TD says it is Swiss ETA Clone?If not, I truly appologise, I obviously don't know how to open the watch and check movement type.As for the quality of the watch, really not that bad... Ok pearl might be off, bezel at inch loose but it wears great and it's a good noob watch, I put as much detail as I could into the pics.The movement is really running better than my noob, I'll get some shots later when I can comparing the two.

bobkat Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 That watch looks nothing like your photoshoped "QC" photo. If your story is to be believed, you were scammed very hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkoN Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 he posted pictures of the movement over at RWI its a 21j^^ But with that. He didnt even want to ripp off anyone here. He just got ripped. Sad^^ But we help you out when you buy youre next watch at a trusted dealer here :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieUK Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Wow, what a piece of junk.... Funny how you trusted this seller with such conviction just to get scammed... ROLEXROLEX engravings are way off in alignment, Wokky cheap thin rehaut, wrong bracelet and clasp, wrong case, horrible pearl, no AR on the cyclops, wrong hour hand, wrong sticker on the caseback.... wow you got ripped off. Glad you followed the recommendations of the members here... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATerai Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 One thing that bothers me still. You said you wouldnt buy watches from him anymore but only for bags (correct?). This guy scammed you for $300 on a watch that is worth $75 tops. How do you know hes not scamming you all this time with bags aswell? I would really stay a long way from this guy man. We have some good clothing dealers here aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Damn, sorry to see how bad you got your pants pulled down on this deal As above, this dealer of yours isn't worth dealing with, as if they're prepared to rip you off for a watch, they are likely doing so with other stuff too...
