Remember... the Puretime fiasco... well I have decided to open the case and fix it myself... I can not wait 10 years before Angus or Peter send me a new replacement... so here I go. Wish me luck!

I am getting my tools in about 5 days... so lets see what happens.

Oh boy!...

Re: OH MY ... I have openned the pandora's box...

well, taking reps apart is more fun than wearing them anyway.

I would suggest eating first, a small drink, then put on some nice music to get in that nirvanic meditative frame of mind before cracking the caseback...Good Luck.

I always have a small drink before opening PaMdora's box...and before working on watches too. :oops:

Relojero is this a see-through back?? If so try and post a pic of it before attempting the emasculation process.

Re: OH MY ... I have openned the pandora's box...

Guys,

You could not believe this... Today the CG just fell off ... I guess Angus forgot all about what quality control means... It is S...t but off course..., But What can I say ... it is a Replica... and plus trying to reason with Angus is literally trying to talk to Angus... Beef that is, no point. The only decent guy was Peter which emailed fast and concise.

Oh my, my... What am I going to do if this continues ... I swear I will send all these pictures to Puretime... so they see with their own eyes. Just gimme some time. I have to get a camara...

oh well... it is life... I guess

WTF.

Re: OH MY ... I have openned the pandora's box...

Gentleman,

I am sorry to inform you that, I have decided to send it back. I have talked to Angus finally. You would not believe it. It was thru their live support feature... I was in shock. He was courteous and very helpful. I could not believe it, I was actually writing live with him. At the end he said to send it back for a change or repair.

So here I am. I will keep you post... Thank you all.

I think Pandora's Box will be closed for a while longer.
