I assume noob bracletts are out of stock so they have to put another braclett on, so they can keep selling making cash

Man, and this is after I pointed out the problems with the first one. Really wonder if there really is trust in "trusted dealer". Asking for another sample with the right clasp code, gonna take another day. Hopefully they can get things straight with me this time. What I think is, the V5 is actually still out of stock, while this particular TD is spinning inferior products to cash in on this event. Hope am I wrong... They are or were, my all time favorite TD..

Anyway Smoke, you've been a great help

Honestly, I would turn it down for now. Just wait until the v5 comes back in stock among all the other dealers. I have a feeling that there must be a reason why there is no stock at the moment.

So finally this TD has admitted today that the V5 still out of stock! I asked for a refund, no reply yet.

So story in a nutshell:
- I asked before paying if the V5 hulk is in stock? TD replied "yes, instock"
- Received QC photos, looked not right a all, so asked fellow RWI members who pointed out that it is actually a V5 head with an inferior bracelet and clasp from J12 or older noob versions
- Rejected QC photos and pointed the flaws, TD reassured that it is V5 but agreed to find a replacement
- Received second QC with exactly the SAME problem even after I pointed out the specifics of what was wrong with the first one.
- Rejected second QC and pointed out the same problems AGAIN
- TD FINALLY admits that it is not in stock
- Now hoping and waiting for a refund

I think is something every member who are thinking of getting a Noob V5 should read. Without the expertise of you RWI members I would've sheepishly accepted the watch. And only to realize that what I paid for was not what I received when one day I decide to put it up on the sales forum and other members call me out for trying to sell something else as a V5.

The same thing happened with some members on the Repgeek forum in the "QC subforum" who bought from the same TD. To be honest I feel deceived and makes me question the honesty of this TD who I've bought many reps from over the years. I don't understand why would such a reputable TD risk staining their reputation like that.

Right now, all I want is my refund.

I think you did the right thing rejecting and asking for a refund. Unless there is another watch you want, then I would go for that.

Got my refund promptly which is good. Better hold off on the V5 until there's plenty of stock

What you did was well and good. Good idea to hold up and wait for the fresh stock & see how it goes from there

All this talk about TD's swapping parts has me paranoid... Is this bracelet the right one for Noob v5?

Wow, what a story. Definitely makes me wonder. Thank you for having the courage to stand up for what you felt was right.

Also, thank you for posting your QC pics here and asking about this issue so the experts could help you and we could all learn from it. This is exactly why you should do this in these types of situations. You saw something wasn't right, and sure as heck you were right. Not only that, but the experts pointed out even more things that legitimately saved you from being misled. If that isn't proof right there for the value of QC pics and the community we are all a part of, I don't know what is.

Just received my v5. Looks good. I'm happy. However, the bracelet was not installed correctly so I had to remove and re-install it.

+1 to that big time. There is nothing worse than the shitty feeling you get after you realize you've been ripped off. RWI pretty much eliminates the chances you you experiencing that feeling :)
