Then… today QC arrived but that’s NOT OK
As you see in previous post, the factory shows a model with asymmetrical pushers but the QC picture shows a different model, good quality but not with asymmetrical pushers…


Dealer proposed a refund

I paid with wise but the dealer say he can refund only via bank wire, hope I dont lose too much money by taxes…

So, WM factory has not the asymmetrical model they show

Different dial also ...
I was very clear asking for every detail…
The link they send to me was this, and pictures here were updated by the factory itself!


I was happy because I’m following my vintage Daytona project to find factory that produces good and genlike models, but today I received this QC


I had badly to refuse…

We agreed to change the watch with a BP Factory GMT 1675 so it’s not need to refund and it’s better for both of us
Now I will wait for the QC, 1675 coke bezel

I don't think the 1675 came with a Coke Bezel, that wasn't until later, with the 5 digit models.

Forgive me if I'm mistaken here.

I found this one on another dealer website



I hope this time the watch will be the same that I asked for :D

I meant the genuine...I don't think the genuine 1675 ever cane with a red/black "Coke" bezel insert, although the inserts are identical, so it's possible that owners or service techs replaced one with the other.

Update:
After one entire week without a response, I wrote to him asking for news and he replied that this gmt model is not available.
So now I’m ok with the refund, even if I will lost some money of commissions or whatever
I will keep you update when everything will be completed
