Mr. Aldovino's Locman thread got me motivated to order a Locman 1970BLQ, their snazzy royal blue-dial chrono with white 5-minute markings. Put my order into a retailer whose initials are W.o.W. Being the impatient bastard I am, I forked over a few extra bucks to get it here fast. Finally showed up this afternoon. Sigh. They sent me the wrong model...the bland (imo) 197200BL0007LTB navy blue dial with chrome regular numbers. It's not like it's a terrible piece, but the dial color just looks dead. The blue doesn't dazzle. The hands are a non-contrasty pukey orange. The numbers are flat shiny guys without any 3D relief, so they mostly blend into the dial unless the light hits just right. Overall, it doesn't do anything for me. So back it goes. Hopefully they won't be jerks about it. I guess it's par for the course. I've had pretty good experience with internet orders so far.

Thanks for the support fellas. :) I'm the nicest guy when I'm treated fairly, but I can be a real bitty when I feel that I'm getting jerked around. The guys sent me a return pack, so we'll see how it goes.
