Hello,

A Submariner 41mm and two other pieces. Above expectation. Excellent communication. We had to to multi-country shipping and it took a month, at no fault of the seller. Highly recommended 👌

That crystal looks worse than my daughters glasses. I've seen clearer glass on the bathroom mirror after a very long and very hot shower WITH the missus. In fact, it's so bad, Jamie Lee Curtis would shit her pants if she saw it.

Oh, and hooo da foook is Newman Rich? If you bought that from a non TD, I bet you got shafted harder than my wife during one of those very long hot shower sessions. At $1,300 it sure sounds like Newman Rich didn't use lube or give you the courtesy of a reach around

I see you reference to buying from, and I quote, "**Redacted** here on the forum" in you earlier post. Is that the name of one of the TD´s? Or just a member? :p
No diss on anyone, just want to make sure no one is taking you for a ride.

Anyways, congrats on you purchase!

**was not my intent to call out the seller, if its an actual member, so I redacted the name!

I wanna see the other 2 Horological marvels that came with it please, cos Ill tell you right now I've bought way better Subs from an RWI TD and even DHG for between £60 and £130, so I'm hoping that the other 2 are way better quality $600 pieces

You probably want to clean the camera lens, and get a few pictures in natural light. I cannot tell how good or bad it is so I will not bash it as of now. I will say at $1300, unless it was serviced and has genuine pieces installed, you unfortunately overpaid. For reference, this is my roughly $500 VSF, which is considered one of the beast out of the box reps

It looks like an AAA+++ ! Please post pics of the other two watches you got. Wost case scenario is going to be learning moment. And that's why we are all here for.

From your post count and from the submariner pic, probably safe to say you are new at this and all joking aside it would be beneficial to see the value you got for what you payed.

Hi,

I hope I didn't get raped...lol. My camera skills leaves much to be desired. Please take a look and advice what the quality of these are in your experienced opinion.

Thank you!

the AP looks to have the clone 4301 movement, I **think** It's APSF as I'm not an AP expert. The sub, I would need to see the serial number, clasp code, etc, or at least the movment to give a more thorough opinion on it.
