rann Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yesterday, I received a DSSM from Tony @ Asian 7750. It is supposed to be the V3 model, asian ETA movement. Watch seems to work fine, and looks good. Only things that bother me are: 1. some minor scratches on bracelet (can rub out) and 2. THERE IS NO LUME! I e-mailed Tony about this, no reply yet. Anyone buy a watch from this guy and have a similar problem with the lume?? Thanks Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Ah ok ;9 But its not a Submariner its a Sea-Dweller .... No never bought from him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I've never bought from someone called Tony at that website, although I have bought most of my watches from a dealer called Tony. If you cannot get a satisfactory response to your email, I would suggest sending the watch for a re-lume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rann Posted April 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 OK, Thanks. And whom would you recommend for a re-lume job? Anyone buy from this site? If so, I would like to hear about any problems. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trailboss Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 A7750.com is relitivy new on the scene. He hangs out at RWG1.1 if you want to PM him there. He seems oke but there have been a cpl of problem buys but nothing that has not been sorted. Ask Allergy Doc how he went, I think he is sorting out the only big stuffup ATM. Any probs sorting it, I have his Ph #. Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron I've never had a watch re-lumed, so I cannot speak from personal experience, but, going on popular opinion, Ziggy and Vacuum are the names most spoken of Ziggy is, without doubt, a Master of his craft, if you are lucky enough to be able to employ his services (he is very busy) Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rann Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) UPDATE: I e-mailed "Tony" about the lack of lume.... he said that all of his DSSD had lume and that I should expose it to light. I did and last night, in total darkness, there was absolutely NO LUME. I e-mailed seller about this and still waiting for response. Please note that the watch was advertised to have blue lume, and this was a relatively expensive rep, otherwise, I wouldn't care. I really don't want to send it back to China. Do you think he would give me an allowance on next watch? Is this usually done in cases like this? Ron Edited April 3, 2009 by rann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaniM4 Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) what did you do? you should place the watch directly under a lamp for about a minute your watch is new. normal lighting would not charge the lume especially the new ones. that's what happened when ireceived my dssd. after doing that, normal lighting can now charge my lume easily btw, my lume is blue on pearl and hands, bluish-green on markers hope this helps thanks Edited April 3, 2009 by DaniM4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllergyDoc Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 I bought 2 watches from Tony at asian7750.com. The first was an LV Sub. It arrived with the GMT bracelets with polished midlinks. I had an extra Noob bracelet so it looks right now. It's very "wokky" but runs like a champ. The second was a DateJust that was supposed to be the same as one on Josh's site. It wasn't. The date fonts were bad--looked like 21J fonts. The movement was an ETA, as gen. as they come these days. I'm date font fussy so I sold the watch. I won't buy any more watches from them. If your watch is a V3 it should lume quite nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
