Little Steps

[Dave2302]

Another load of reps heading to Dave's watch emporium

Funny you should say that, I did a bulk buy in M2M last night / this morning, so there is 3 more watches heading here as we speak

I don't sell much at all though, haven't sold any watches this time around, given a few away.

BTW I made quite a lot of noise and did get a refund on that Pam Bronzo that was never in the box sent to me

Oh bloody hell, this shit will take some keyboard wear and tear, but since it's you asking ....
It was in an update post recently in this thread, but at that time I was just gonna write off the non arrival.

So I bought a watch from a non RWI watch dealer, who I have bought several from before with no issues.
Pam Bronzo, he had the exact one I wanted ~ $340 plus shipping.
Tracking was useless, but that's not unusual from China.
I'd already kinda given up on it when lo and behold UK Royal Mail starts updating.
It stuck a few days in Customs, then moved to Midlands and on to Inveness, next day out for Delivery at LDO.

Postmistress Pat and her furry little pussy arrive and hands me the package, at which point I immediately asked her to hang on as I wanted her to watch me weigh it. I knew feckin' well there was bugger all inside at 3.2 grams

She agreed wiv me there was fuck all in it. I didn't open it, waited until Mel got home, asked her to video the intact polystyrene box with no signs of tampering, well sealed and UK address label was all good and fresh. The address label had the address of his forwarding UK Shipper.
So Mel carries on videoing as I open it carefully and all that is inside is the plastic watch wrapper and some bubble wrap !!
We go to playback the video, and my Minxie hadn't pressed record Poor old Minx she was so upset she wanted to give me the money.
No way Jose

I took photos of it all including the weight on my postal scales photo when it was unopened. Seller basically told me to go fukx myself and accused me of stealing the watch outta the packet. I told him not to underestimate me and I was very dissappointed, after that radio silence
I was just gonna wipe me chin and forget it until this point, but now I'm seriously pi55ed off with him, if he'd offered me a decent discount I'd have bought another and been happy. I don't think he didn't send a watch I think the shippers repacked it and kept the watch.

Mels son is married to one of the grand daughters of a rather infamous geezer whose pubs and clubs doors I used to run many moons ago.
Those guys are still serious players in S E London, and his sons still run a lot of the various businesses.
I met up with them all at the wedding a few years ago, we often see our daughter in laws parents when down south. I made a phone call ....

2 days later the exact money in GBP arrived back here in a recorded delivery packet sent from the same address as the forwarding shipping agent.

Strange coincidence that

My latest 3 just arrived today, I bought them as a 3-some because I wanted another IWC and also have a spare slot for the Breitling Endurance, but even the Daytona isn't too shabby for what it is

Pix won't upload, atm, bugger, will post up later

Thank you kind sir

Here's todays arrivals, the IWC is nice, and the power reserve works as it should

 

[Got20Mate]

I saw the thread of these and immediately thought of you - Glad they went to a good home!

 

[Dave2302]

immediately thought of you

LOL. wot ya sayin ? I'm a cheapie MO-FO ..........

Nah not always, I do have gens VSF and ZF too, but at that price the IWC was worth that to me, and I like the Breitling too, which has a working Chrono and nice colur scheme.

 

[suffolkdiver]

Now i'm not into IWC, but I like that one

 

[Dave2302]

Now i'm not into IWC, but I like that one

Thanks buddy

I only said the other day that my IWC shelf was underpopulated with just 2 of 10 shelf spaces occupied, so when that wee lot of 3 came up at that price I bought them, mainly for the Big Pilot Heritage and although the Breitling Endurance is a Quartzie, I am very happy with that too as they are way less hassle than some 7750 movement watches can be.

The Daytona 116506 has also grown on me since yesterday, hell yeah, these are cheapies but as ever I'll be wearing all of them in rotation.

 

[DiggerOfWatches]

Thank you kind sir

I've got an IWC like this but Heritage Ti. It has a power reserve of 74 hours. Really happy with it.

I've also got a breitling like this. Cost me $12AUD off AliX. Bargain.

Daytona looks good mate

@Dave2302 I don’t know how I only know just found this thread of posts, but it’s incredible. Thanks for including us all on the fun ride, man.

Also that platona is wicked!
