I can't believe mods on that board let him post that crap, its exactly the kind of stuff these boards preach against.
I finally was able to exchange e-mails with Angus and got watch on order, thanks everyone!
Actually it's just an alternative to the higher priced reps. For someone looking for parts, a watch to practice mods on or even for the member who simply cannot afford higher priced reps, this dealer offers a viable alternative to members.
Glad Angus was able to help you out squeaker. I asked him to do me a personal favor and get you your watch because you're 'desperate' and you come back with the TRC mods suck comment-Nice
This only reminds me that I must pick and choose who I wish to help in the future
I'm taking off my RWI Moderator hat right now and posting just as a rep collector...
So, you need to call in a personal marker to get a dealer to sell a watch to a buyer? I've just ordered one from Angus and I didn't need to call in any favors to get it. I didn't know he was rationing out these 111Es, now. I guess I should count myself lucky that I got one.
Also, yes, that watch offered by Deltick is Canal St. quality at best. If the Admins here at RWI agreed to post that stuff here in a For Sale forum, I would certainly call that into question, too. This isn't an example of basing another board, or another dealer. You have to admit, that watch is far below the standards of 95% of the watches offered on the fora.
You make a valid point about it being a cheap watch to practice mods/watchsmithing on, but you could just as easily do that stuff on a broken watch, too.
I'm really not picking on you, Star. From my experience you're a perfectly nice guy/girl. But, c'mon....
