Hi guys
I received the same movement in my Pepsi last month, the TD assured me it would have the new movement, but of coarse it arrived with the timebomb.
Because of everything going on in the world, I unwrapped it and put it in the box ready to wear when I had somewhere nice to go.
But this weekend I had a few minutes spare and decided to take the back off and inspect the movement.
I was completely devastated to find the infamous timebomb movement staring me in the face.
After contacting him to explain the problem, he’s denying all responsibility. Even though I have everything in black and white on emails assuring me it would have the new movement.
He’s now blaming the factory for misleading him, but I reminded him that I bought the watch from him not the factory.
The thing that annoyed me the most was that I asked on numerous occasions to see QC pics of the movement.
But he constantly assured me it would be the new movement and to stop worrying.
Normally I would have run a mile, but it was the 8th watch I’d bought from him with no issues in a period of only 8 weeks.
So I’d really like to hear your expert thoughts on the situation, I now have a watch I wouldn’t have dreamed of buying if I’d known the truth.
The watch itself is lovely, but compared to my V3 GMF Batman, the movement is rough and noisy with the worry of it self destructing at anytime.
He hasn’t even had the decency to offer me any form of way forward such as an exchange for another watch.
As I said in my email to him, if he bought an expensive car and it turned up with a Robin Reliant engine how would he feel.
I pride myself on my common sense, but for once I let it slip probably as I’d already had so many off him.
Many thanks
Simon
