Oyster Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm planning to get a v3 as well some time this month. It is such a nice toy! BTW, has Chris rectified the QC issues yet? Cheers oh no..... well, good news is, I got an email and a response! Yippee! I can send it back for repairs or have the parts sent back to me. I just paid to have it repaired in the city. (dial, stem, crystal, bezel, and movement,) but I'll still need the parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cht Posted December 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 ^^^^well, what I do know is that he took care of most of the probs with my watch, which includes: 1. rotating movement so the dial is not crooked 2. rotating the crystal so it is no longer crooked 3. resetting the stem line 4. reglueing the bezel insert 5. removal of glue around the pearl. He is sending me a new bezel to replace the one that came scratched and with glue around the pearl, and also a noob caseback as a nice gesture. Some things that I did not expect (and are expected) on a +$300 watch are a uncentered datewheel, super noisy movement and a low quality crown tube. good luck!

klocklind1 Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 If it is 1:1 constuction You not have to glue the bezelinsert, it should just "snap in" and that is it 1 I say go fo the WM9 supreme subs and You will get a 1:1 constuction and a good decorated swiss eta movement in it. I got pictures of the actual watch that he was going to ship to me BEFORE he send it !!! But he only has a few left ( last week ) !!!! ^^^^well, what I do know is that he took care of most of the probs with my watch, which includes: 1. rotating movement so the dial is not crooked 2. rotating the crystal so it is no longer crooked 3. resetting the stem line 4. reglueing the bezel insert 5. removal of glue around the pearl.

cht Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 The bezel that came with the euro DOES NOT snap in, it has to be glued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
