Ok this has being going on long enough so I have to come out with it. I recently paid almost $400 for a serviced Navitimer rep from a very respected dealer on here. I ordered the version with the stick markers. About 2 weeks later I got the rep. First off it was the number version, not the stick version. Then I noticed a movement problem, (the second hand of the chronograph jumps around the 58s mark, according to ziggy should not happen if the watch was serviced), and finally the bezel is really loose, lifts a few mm off the case if i turn the watch upside down. I told my dealer the problems and he sent me an old model navitimer with 21k movement. Now this seems very generous, but in reality, it gives me an old dial and old non-serviced movement which is NOT what I paid for. Fair enough I get a case but this will cos me $40 to swap with the old one. It does nothing to address the movement problem.
I am a student and money is very tight, this purchase was a big deal for me. I do not expect perfection, but I really think this is a poor poor deal from a dealer that has prooven himself in the past to be one of the best.
I would appreciate your opinions.
