I paid for a watch 3 months ago, received nothing and they now ignore all my emails !

[tripdog]

This is a refund issue - OP chose not to accept the watches offered, and @puretime offered a refund.

I'm sure that when Angus logs in next he'll sort the refund out to the OP's satisfaction.

Title changed - annoying yes, but not a scam.

I paid extra USD for another one as suggested by Puretime, the second had the same kind of defects. No news since weeks now about any refund.

So you did not accept watch 1 and asked to change it, and for this service Angus charged money? Or did i get this wrong?
I never heared of that.
Thanks @tripdog for checking in and clarifying.

Hope you get your refund or watch soon OP.

The way I read it he opted to go with a different factory.
OP: were these run through that dumbass QC photo website?

I should put one of my genuine watches through that stupid QA website and see how it comes out.... in the meantime subscribed!

Please do! I'd love to see the results.

I still don't see the alignment issue. That's not an accurate way to tell. You need 2 known points to create a line. Your lines start at random points.
If you really want to see if it's symmetrical, connect all of the screws with a line and extend them all out. It should form a perfect octagon with the dial centered in the middle.

I work in AutoCAD everyday and I could import the image and show you the real alignment but I'm not going to do that because I wouldn't even do that with my own QC pictures.


It appears that the price from the second factory was a little higher and the additional $ was justified. This is not a scam.

You aren't going to be happy with a rep.
I'd allow some time for the refund and buy a gen.

... So do you think I should call up Tudor and complain?

Nah, I will happily take it off your hands for a super discounted price

 

[ApexDestroyer]

Ok, I couldn't help myself. Below is the alignment of the screws.

I'll give you $50 for it.

i wonder when those line drawing or star line overlaying people will understand that once the picture is not 10000% straight on, their technique will not work…

subscribed though

I’ll fight you for it…..

This reminds me of the good old days sparring with .storm

What was the orininal reasoning behind this rule. I know it's there, but there has to be an objective reason: is it because we don't want the fourm to become a complaint haven, or is it to prevent unvetted people from claiming against a td?

Beats me. I think it's the first one. People just sign up to get help and then leave or only come in to get help. Not really fair on staff and members.

Oh no, I understand fully. I was just looking for the underlying objective of it. Thanks for clarification.

OP is reffering to the alignment of the screw heads. The slits should follow each other and form a circle - the 8 o'clock screw on the watch above needs to be rotated a tiny bit counter clockwise for example, the 10 o'clock screw clockwise.

 

[raspan1123]

well, the fact that the “misalignment” lines are in the exact inverse relations to each other on top and on the bottom where they intersect is kind of an indicator that the issue is indeed perspective of the pic

Put a screwdriver on that and turn it 1/32. Lol

Guarantee you it'll get scratched up. He should stop using those generic tools and consider we live in a 3D world where it's almost impossible to get an exact direct head on picture. IRL I'll bet it's going to be fine.
