Hi, Gang!
For Tuesday is my very FIRST Rolex rep, purchased from the defunct website A FINE LUXURY TIME. I thought I was getting a bargain at only $220, which I had to pay up front first (money order) before I receive it, let alone see it. (This was SOP at that time in early October 2009.) It's an order model, lacking inscribed inserts, lacking the coronet engraved at 6, and possessing lug pin holes on the case; it's not that bad, but certainly NOT WORTH what I paid. It's what led me to discover RWI (first), then RWG (second), then the other rep sites. As you'll see tomorrow when I introduce the real POS ($270) from the scammer GLOBAL REPLICA, all were incentives (hard earned) to look elsewhere. I'm very happy I found you all. dave:

GREAT to see you posting again, CM! You've been missed. AND, like the other mates with good taste, LOVE the socks (uh, and the TUTOR as well).

Hi, Group!
Here's the second ROLEX rep I purchased after the first one (shown last night), although this POS was purchased from the scam site GLOBAL REPLICA. Probably a lot of the old members read this story before, but I publish it to remind members on the need to make rep purchases from trusted dealers, which I learned the hard way. This POS cost me $270 & is called a Piece Of Shit because it was when it arrived (after I had to hand the FEDEX driver the money order). The Sub was a mess: an hour marker had fallen out and was floating underneath the crystal, the stem on the crown was BENT & could hardly move; when wound BOTH watch hands moved together, etc. To make a long story short: (1). the bank issuing the money order would NOT cancel it; (2). I originally called GLOBAL REPLICA, only to have the voice on the other end tell me to hang up and call again, which I did to no answer; (3). numerous LETTERS, EMAILS, and probing from Better Business Bureau could not elicit any response from GR. I lost, but luckily my friend the jeweler/watchsmith took it and fixed it up and added the new blue (shark) bezel to it. I keep this as a reminder... . dave:
