What are you going to do about it? Do you feel like sending it back again?

Take it easy mate, just asking...

The other options would be to have it fixed locally or to get a modder to take care of it, so what will you do?

I was trying to be funny. After all this whole fiasco came about because I returned the watch with a bad datewheel.

I'd like to get a modder to work on this. Here's what I'd like to have done....

1: Datewheel (obviously)
2: Crystal, the one on there now is REAL high and square, not correct.....looks like a tophat!
3: 24 hour hand painted to the "faded orange, light yellow" look like gen
4: Possibly? Lume job, not correct I know but I'd like lume....maybe?

I DON"T want it beat up to look vintage. NOT my thing. I can always claim it was my Uncle's safe queen...........

Suggestions for a modder are certainly welcome.......

What about Katt or G? You can find them in the modders sections and they're both located in the US.

OK, I'll contact them.

Think I need to put a list together of what I'd like done and send it out to a few modders. Not only to get pricing but to see who wants to and can do the work.........

Did I see correctly you saying this is an eta 2824?
Just saw the original qc pic you were sent and it looks like the bph is 21600.
Is that correct for this movement?
Man I was sitting on the fence earlier on in the thread but I think now you totally have every right to be pissed off.

The way I see it, botches are a good thing- it means that having mods done are a lot easier to consider as long as it needs to be opened anyway. :) How many times have we been satisfied with something because it was "nice enough" not to bother with? Plus, look at the education you're getting! When all is said and done, a big THANK YOU is what should be in order. :p

Sorry, 2846 and 21.6 is correct.

The gen had something like a 19.6 movement so a "lower beat" is closer to gen...

Are you sure it was that innocent. Over on RWG they seem to think someone turned them in to PayPal and reported they were selling replicas.

Even went so far as to suggest it might have been me, after hearing my complaining. I assured them I hadn't turned in anyone to anybody, just not my style.

Not sure... could have been another dealer?

Either way... somebody out there ruined it for the rest of us.
