Angus updated on RG that Doris was in charge of shipping the watches out on the 18th (not sure about before that) but that he was chasing her up for the tracking numbers. It's not normally her job to deal with those so there might be some confusion. I wouldn't get up in arms about it yet. It might appear on your doorstep before you get tracking details.

Thanks for the heads up Bonesey. I read the thread and I may get lucky...
Also, I saw that Angus explained how the bezel markers are attached. Looks like ColdI was right and Angus' web site is wrong. The markers are not attached by screws as Angus originally stated. They are pressed in and the slot on the back side of the markers is there so that you can rotate the markers.
This means that you should be able to spin the markers. The only problem will be how tight they pressed them in. Usually a press fit will have a slight taper - wider at the top slightly narrower at the bottom. This would make it easier to spin the marker from the bottom as the harder you pushed the more you would be pushing away from the taper. This also makes it harder to spin the marker from the top as the harder you pushed down to spin the marker, the more you would be seating the marker into the taper.
They are reps, so who knows how it will be until we get them in our hands. No doubt the best way would be to remove the bezel and use the slots on the back side to turn the marker, then push the marker down from the top to seat it tightly were it belongs.
If the markers were not pressed to tightly, you may be able to do it from the top. I have to believe, though, they will all probably be a little different. I certainly will try from the top first, unless the bezel is real easy to remove. Got to wait to find out...
? Pretty obvious. Because I have been waiting sometime for this watch and I have the skills to fix this minor error. Not sure how you get "Throwing money away" ... If it was something that could not be fixed, sure, I wouldn't buy the watch, but this is a no brainer...
When I get my watch I will have those markers fixed with in the half hour and I will be wearing it while you are sitting around waiting for the "Perfect" one. :lol:
I'll post a wrist shot when it comes
Well... i thought I had slid in under the closing bulkhead of CNY on shipments outbound but my EMS tracking has been sitting as "Despatch from Sorting Center" since late on the 19th... guessing Customs was closed already for the Holiday.
Ah well...at least I'm a patient man and know Angus will come through.
I do perk up like a dog evertime I hear a car on my street... I keep hoping it will be someone from the postoffice with a nice package for me to sign for. Here's to hoping my EMS tracking number is the only thing stuck.

Totally know what you mean about the sound of a truck coming down the street. LoL
At least you guys got a tracking number. According to Angus a few were shipped out on the 18th (Hoping one was mine) that Doris forgot to retain the tracking numbers for. Talk about being on the dark side of the moon...

Six pages and five weeks of this? :facepalm:
I have one of these here ATM (had 2 a week ago) and guys, they are tiny little markers!
You need eagle eyes to tell if they are perfect or not and for sure no one else will notice.
Remember, as the Fakemaster says:
Plus you need to remember it's a rep!
As an aside, geeze this is one big hunk of watch! I was never all that keen on the Pam subs but it's growing on me.

I must admit i'd forgotten that it had got to this length. Yes, I was over reacting to QC pics. Angus promised that if I wasn't happy with it when it arrived that he would take it back to fix. As pointed out, thanks Col, it really isn't noticeable. Been wearing it almost 2 weeks straight at this point. Such a serious hunk of Pam.

The ones I have ain't mine, they are in for some work so I only wore one for a day to try it out and boy oh boy you know it's on your wrist! A pair of these would make great training weights. I thought it would be too big on my 6.5" wrist but I can carry it off after all. No way I could wear one on a bracelet tho.
