First order from Sead, opinions needed (especially Tag experts)

Hi

Ordered from Sead about a month ago and watches arrived today.

Omega PO 42mm Asian 4813- Looks good, date change a bit stiff but OK so far.

Ladies Chanel J12 - Happy. Bezel a bit mis-aligned but perfectly acceptable for a rep.

Tag Carrera Racing 41mm A7750

Bit disappointed here. When I ordered I twice asked Sead for QC pics. Both requests were ignored and one day I got a PM saying watches were in the post. Fine. Carrera arrived today and it has a different A7750 movement to any I've seen before. There is no regulator and the incabloc thing is quite different.

Here is a pic:

This is what I was expecting...

Now I know this is a small thing. The watch is lovely and for a rep this is picky. But I had planned to swap out the blue screws and super-rep this thing.

The point really is that if I had been shown a QC pic like I asked I would have spotted it straight away and Sead could have asked the factory. I wouldn't have taken the watch if I had known the movement was like this and would have chosen another model. It's probably a case the factory happened to have a few of these 7750s around and banged them in.

I've PM'd Sead but after waiting this long I don't know what to do.

Sean replied very quickly and said they don't make the regulator version any more.

He said he QC'd the watch but didn't think of the regulator. If that's the case fair enough.

He offered an option of return and refund if that's what I wanted. Fair play. I don't think I can return it, it's very nice.

Here's the watch anyway. I wouldn't let this put you off Sead. He got a very nice example of the best watch available at the time. In future I'll ask him for QC but he's a straight up guy.
