scott60 Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 he contacted me using this address: relojplica@gmail.com These are pics of what he does: http://www.fototime.com/memberalbum/4561B1589CD64C51833654C212EE8335/7DF5126FCBAD4C549D417B4BC7F2E299 Says he can get me a 6610 case with an insert that will accept my gen.1030 for $130. Sounds too good to be true.... Please forgive me if I've made some sort of horrible faux-pas here as I don't know much about the rep world. And nothing came up on this site when I searched for his full name. TIA for any info. cheers
Nanuq Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 "If it seems too good to be true..." Anyone want to complete the thought for me?
ProMariner Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Lol I have been contacted by him also but on YouTube cause I was searching about some videos of rep and I wrote some comments. Anyway there is a lot of TD on all our forums, and I prefer to deal with them.
mjmj Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 I would say tread carefully.. It is indeed too good to be true..
automatico Posted January 10, 2014 Report Posted January 10, 2014 Iirc I paid about $120 each for my first two fully signed/numbered DW 1680 cases so they could sell them a LOT cheaper than what many 'specialists' ask for them if they wanted to. If someone wanted to make accurate 6610 cases and sell them for $130, they could because I bet the $500+ cases cost no more to make than the $130 cases. My guess on what runs the cost up is engraving between lugs, stamping/engraving inside case backs, careful check on critical case dimensions etc, etc. The $130 cases may not reflect a high level of fit and finish. Here's the BUT... But if they are selling for $500+, why sell them for $130? The answer might be imho... DW cases are cheaper for a few reasons: Half azz machining tolerances inside the case causing some dials to not touch the dial seat, aka 'shallow rehaut syndrome'. Spring wire bezels instead of snap on bezels. Hit or miss case neck od. Pot belly case sides. Shallow case back gasket groove. Lug holes undersize. In short, they are project cases, not ready to go cases, but still a bargain if you are handy with modifications.
chronoluvvv Posted January 11, 2014 Report Posted January 11, 2014 if you haven't noticed, Google has started allowing rank strangers to email each other based on whatever (mis)information they have gleaned about each other online i MYSELF have been added & emailed by a ton of people (thanks to my Android public profile, obviously) whether i trust them enough to add them or even bother responding is best left to their imagination, i suggest you follow your gut and avoid
