Ok. So if the Noob factory sea dweller was the best and they are all gone, what's the 2nd best one out there?

I think you should buy the T4D one and wait until a used Noob SD comes along.

here's my dilemma. i've already paid hont. is his the same as the t4d one? if it is, i paid about $75 too much... i've emailed hont to see what my options are.

But doesn´t Hont claim to still have the Noobfactory SSD in stock? :thinking:

yes and obviously he doesn't. so don't pay him until he sends you pics...

This is an issue that should absolutely be taken with the mods!
He told me that he has stock, which is apparently a lie, possibly to make people pay for the watch (which he doesn´t have), and then ask the guys who payed him for the SSD to "pick another watch".
It could be a strategy from his side to make people buy watches they would never had bought if Hont didn´t sit on their money.

-Just thinking loud... I´m not accusing anybody!

No. BK was modding the Noob SD.

ummmm... now i'm confused.

Q, is the one i just showed pics of the same as t4d's and if so, is it worth it to have hont send it to me even though it was significantly more expensive than t4d's. If the case and face are decent and i can put in a new insert to make it a decent rep, i may just do that.

my other desire would be for hont to give me my money back because i don't want to have to accept an alternate watch because he was less than honest. i doubt that will happen though...

advice? this is my first negative issue with any dealer from RWI so i'm not sure what my options might be. hont hasn't responded to my protest about the watch yet so he may still be a stand up guy... you can pm me if you'd rather do this in private...

Easy now... As I suggested, this could be the case here, that the dealer acted dishonest.

But as I also wrote, I´m not pointing the finger at someone or accusing anybody.

Before we jump to conclusions, I think that Hont himself should be given a chance to explain himself.

I agree that it doesn´t look very good at the moment, but I think the best in this case would be if a moderator or admin contacted Hont and tried to find out exactly what´s going on here. :)

I think you should take a breath befoer saying that a dealer like hont might be dishonnest. The guy revolutuionned the rep business way before you or me got here, providing the best service around untill MRep and Lay recently showed up. And even though he's still one of the best dealers out there.

Dealers like hont, MRep, Lay, ... have no or very few stock. Several times a week, they go see the wholesalers and get the watches ordered by customers. So yes, once in a while a watch is out of stock at the wholesaler, and they are not aware of it before they actually gets there to pick up the watch.

You've only been here for a month and it's not the first time I see you jump at someone. You might want to cool down a bit...

Please read my post again.
I clearly made my statement that I do not judge anyone. And that I´m not pointing the finger at somebody and saying that they are dishonest.

Instead I was trying to calm the situation down, in favor for Hont since I think that you should not accuse anyone until all the facts are on the table.

The only thing that I said was that it doesn´t look good at the moment, and if that´s the case that Hont gives promises to several buyers and then can´t stand up and deliver I think that would be unacceptable.

I personally asked Hont if he had this watch in stock and he said that he had it. Now, that should mean that he has the watch in his hands.

I asked him if he could hold the watch for me until friday, and he said yes.
How could he hold something for me, and guarantee that I get it if he doesn´t have it in his possession?

This is the part when I asked people to take it easy and cool down a little bit rather than jump to conclusions.
Because as it is today we don´t know anything.
Hont may very well honor his agreement.

So, if you read my last post you should see that I´d rather takes Hont´s side a little bit than running into conclusions. :)

I think you all need to take a step back here.
You too Wiz, I don't think the guy was accusing anyone, he said "may", not is.

thanks boss.

i was just asking for a little advice on a watch. like i said, hont hasn't responded back to my email pointing out that the pics he sent aren't of the watch he promised. i'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but it's hard when i'm the one that has already shelled out over $200.

again, what does anyone think of the watch he sent me pics of? since the Noob factory ones are gone, is this a close second? or is it way off? like i said, i had planned on swapping the bezel anyway...

You're right, I didn't read your posts carefully. I guess I was in a bad mood this morning, and I had no right to take it out on you.
Sorry about that.
