mkuhl2000 Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Bought a few asian 21j watches from a vendor not on this board (I don't think..) and got what has to be the biggest piece of crap I have ever bought! Ordered an Omega Seamaster 007 Edition and got one that looked nothing like what he advertised. The picture I ordered from that is advertised as "ALL PICTURES TAKEN OF THE ACTUAL WATCH FOR SALE" is the watch on the right. Look at the watch on the left, what I recieved with scratched up crappy bezel insert and compare to what he claimed I would get. Plus the caseback is standard Seamaster back, not even the "40 years of James Bond" caseback. Oh..and his resolution to this P.O.S....send me a new bezel insert and the caseback. See if you can identify the problems with this rep in the picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryyannon Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 The biggest problem is you not doing your homework on this forum while looking for a quick Seamaster fix. Sorry, no sympathy today. I'm in a particularly unsympathetic mood. Consider the experience as the beginning of your learning curve..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Don't worry too much: scammed people before they found their way here are countless (me included naturally): just take it as a paid-for experience. Oh, and welcome aboard! P.S.: really a piece of crap. You'd better ask if anyone is able to find any correct detail in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryyannon Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Well, that's only $67.95 too much. Could have been much worse... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bignasty Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 For $68 you got what you paid for. A decent SMP is going to cost at least $100 and more likely $200 for an ETA movement. Jon PS> Welcome to the forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Is it just me or does the He valve on the left look correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Is it just me or does the He valve on the left look correct? It is not a he-valve... It is where I keep my garotte wire.. The valve is actually a thad higher than on the SMP. Here is an old wrist shot, just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
