I'm confused. Is the picture below the after or the before? In the OP it says it's the after, but you can see the areas I have marked. That looks awfully bad for a finished product.

It`s really the AFTER pic !

just look at the cannon pin and you get the anwser.

Horrible after shots; no offense--it just doesn't look presentable. Hope it's correctable. Is that glue or varnish on the dial? It can still be seen through the glass after it's been reassembled, especially the biggest stain near 6 o'clock.

Thats not a 'before' pic D.,he asked for the photos to be critiqued before he sends the watch back and put those pics up....i can't see how he wouldn't see that dial though....the flaws stick out like a sore thumb....yikes.... :|

Just to let you guys know, we're in a holding pattern until TWP shows up to clarify. Without his side of the story, it becomes a slanging match full of accusations which MAY turn out to be unfounded. We'll see. I am hopeful. :)

The whole thing about a joke is a joke....IMO.

Totally unacceptable workmanship....

Curious to see if he "fixes it" Or myabe he was just showing post lume and cannon BEFORE he cleaned up the dial. Let's reserve judgement until the fianl product arrives in V's hands. Until the, the consensus is that it looks bad thus far.

As for dissapearing threads at RWG, not totally uncommon. That place is a little askew for ceretain people and if criticism is expressed that is for one of the "golden boys" you are the bad guy. F*ck that place.

You can still see the marks on the dial after he recased the dial/movement/hands.....

Wow :shock: came in late on this one, if that's a joke it's one of the cruelest, meanest jokes I've ever seen :wink: . Hope all get's rectified with VB's 183, I would have a coronary if that was my watch. It's times like these that gens seem so much easier.

i don't know what has transpired here and i haven't been able to view rwgjr since the ttk banning mess (no one seems to know why) so i haven't been able to view anything that has been posted over there about this situation. at this time all i can say is that i hope you receive your watch in a timely manor and in a presentable condition that you are happy with.

i hope this works out for you.

"It was a joke", is usually the quick rebuttal/defense a lot of people tend to use in hopes of either distracting from the situation or absolving themselves of the responsibility, after the fact.

But like I said--it's probably correctable; he's a decent guy & it's not the end of the world.

I think the underlying "moral" here is to simply not sell your modding capabilities , until you're sure of your tools and your skill-level. :)
