. Really - still under warranty and Mitch refuses to repair it? :XI have recently had an "issue" with an incoming PVD homage, and the maker has been pretty good - after blaming everyone else for the second hand scraping the paint and lume off the hour hand beneath (it had already done this when I opened the parcel on the first day...) and some C3 lume that was inconsistent under the sandwich dial. It is on its way back and I expect to be reimbursed for the shipping to get it back there. But maybe it is just me? As for that dud PVD bracelet on the O7 - two guys getting on the O7 forum on WUS and telling it like it is might make mountains move, though. We should be able to say what we like, and don't like, about certain experiences we have with makers, brands and stores ;) without fear of backlash. Hey - if it was done right, there would be no need to keel-haul them, right. I know my clients don't let me get away with anything, so I get my legal work right first time, every time.
In a world where information travels so quickly (as it has here, is a good example) you would think that makers would get it right, wouldn't you? And I am one of the unlucky buggers still waiting for my Ploprof copy LM-7 after about 10 months of Mitch having my deposit money. I acknowledge that it takes time to get the cases sourced, the bracelets built, the face designed, the right colour of the hands, the correct material for the bezel lock, and the movements in (and to his credit, Mitch has involved prospective owners at every stage to get them what they want, not necessarily what he first suggested) so the involvement of the prospective owners in the process has surely protracted things. Oh - and the watch is due "some time in Summer - when it is right". Great if you can get away with it. I still want the watch, but this waiting is giving me a pain in the *rse, and all I have seen so far are some tricky CAD drawings, a lot of chat, and one case in the rough. I guess that apart from the issue of non-transferable warranties on the LM-7, I could potentially flip it (if I ever get it). And then I can get the Enzo I should have ordered in the first place...
I suggest a new sticky to be titled "DUDS" as in dud deals, dud watches and dud service. Fair warning for all.
Sorry for that - rant finished now...
markjnk - you wanna swap your 001 and a few bucks for an Omega Seamaster 120 f300 diver in minty condition? The Enzo in your avatar is an absolute classic! ;)
Cheers all - a very patient IanM hand6.gif
