Bob Wellson... Bronze Seal 2015... ¡¡¡ughh!

[swdivad]

After around 45 years of buying watches (cheap through expensive, gens through reps) I need to warn people if they ever get the urge to buy a Bob Wellson, to please skip to your next choice...

 

This was probably the lowest quality watch I've ever received, I wish I had gone with my gut.

 

• The bronze was a copper color, not so nice
• The enamel (or whatever it was) was not applied with any care whatsoever
• The case brush polishing was done with a heavy grit wheels or paper
• The crown is push in, not screw down as told

 

When I wanted to return it for poor quality, there was a $US120 re-stocking fee

 

This company is mickey mouse operation with extremely poor quality control and care in their product.

 

If you want to read on it, here's the website, but you will never get the time spent on it back:

Here's a quick snap, it's not worth much more work than this:

Oh my, the bezel looks very poorly finished, with the black dots looking like they are applied by a guy who was in a rush to go home.

Thank you for the very kind heads up!

A few months back, I was close to buying one used in WatchUSeek. It was the model that is a homage to the Panerai Bronzo.it sold before I could make up my mind, maybe good that I missed it.

Sorry about yours, that is really bad!!

Wow. That looks like trash. Seriously, that thing is hideous and it's a gen? Even Canal St reps do a better job at trying to look the part than this does. Sorry you went through this.

Yep, it looks like crap...

I bet you can get big money for it if the story is right on e-bay....
