hey all, thanks for changing post title and having a laugh on me. i was able to laugh at myself too from your posts

you all (and Steve) helped me to realize i did indeed receive the watch from QC. my initial gut reaction to believing i was duped was driven by:

* order number missing from sticker
* font looking very diff in person
* (still) cannot get dial to line-up on 10 the way my QC showed it was lined up

I now understand all these factors can differ camera to camera and appear different due to lighting, angles, reflections, lens annd crystal distortion, etc.

the font was and still is the biggest shocker to me.

I have already apologized to Steve but would like to apologize again here for my misunderstanding of the situation and the emotional post i made.

I’m glad we could settle this at my expense, and I am happy to look like a fool (given my foolish behavior) in the hopes that it serves as a lesson to the next newbie.

cheers all

So you're admiting to being a moron

At least you got the watch. There’s always that chance customs takes it when you’re waiting for it.

 

[Andrew_watchlist]

Saying sorry is a massive step in right direction, I hope the forum accepts that at face value.

 

[Pogo123]

Nice of you to admit it at least. I've ordered from Steve before and was super happy.

hey friend, yes. my post and reaction to the watch in person, was moronic indeed. jumping to the conclusion Steve (or his people) did something malicious was moronic as well seeing as I had received exactly what I had GL’d.

moronic, idiotic, stupid, emotional, wrong, incorrect. any and all synonyms thesaurically ancillary that you would like to use would be appropriate to describe this post and my reaction.

I hope it can now be a lesson to other newbies to the QC > Real-Life cycle to understand the variables cameras can create in QC and what you can receive in person and how it can truthfully differ from QC photos.

It's all good! Mistake made....knowledge gained!

I respect your review and introspective assessment of the situation. I wish more people who start as you did would pause when it's clearly demonstrated their initial knee jerk reaction was incorrect. You're new here and learning, and seem to have integrity. Enjoy your new watch and the hobby. In the future you should also consider doing research on the specific model you're looking at buying so you have a better idea of what you should expect, known flaws, people's personal opinions of ones they have received, etc.

Yours is not a common one, perhaps you can post some information and opinions ( mini review) to help others know what to expect over in the breitling section. Best wishes!

 

[Cheesegrater]

That's a rare one to admit he's rushing to conclusions..... wish more people would step on the brakes or admit their own fault.

thank you for the great idea. i am indeed learning and I am new to the rep watch world and very much new to the concept of doing your best “interpretation” of QC photos and understanding what can change when QC translates to a real-life watch ticking on your wrist.

And thank you for reminding me: the more research I do on a watch I want, the better informed I will be through the entire process

@tronic
I take this opportunity to welcome you afresh.

It takes strength to admit wrongdoing instead of doubling down as an offended kiddo. You have my respect.

May your next watches be more to your liking.

All right, all right, but now please stop bashing yourself. This is not Game of Thrones, we don't need or want you or anyone else to make public amends
You made an error, that's all. It happens to everybody, sometimes. It is not necessary to whip your back

You are welcome here, it's always a pleasure to meet someone smart and with personality, able to admit an error and then go on. Welcome onboard mate!
