Moosewood 0 Posted April 2, 2011 While I am new to this forum, I have been purchasing and wearing reps for about 5 years. I don't have the experience many of you have, but I have opened a few up and performed minor repairs. Anyways I have purchased from 2 other dealers in the past, however always ended up wondering why I strayed away from Trusty Time and Andrew whenever I did. His web site is as thorough and well laid out as I've seen and the selection is tremendous. Two weeks ago I received a new Submariner 50th from Andrew to replace one I purchased 3-4 years ago and had suffered a fall to a concrete floor The watch received was as described and as shown in the QC pics, however in hand it was not as nice as the first I had purchased in a few details. Contacted Andrew and yesterday (8 days later) the postman delivers a replacement that lives up to my expectations exactly (In hindsight I should have consulted Andrew prior to ordering and determined which particular one to order out of the 5 or 6 available, that all appear quite similar on the site)...talk about customer service and ensuring I stay his customer. No fretting on his part about the first watch coming back before sending out replacement). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Moosewood 0 Posted April 2, 2011 Really glad to hear mate.........where are the photos!!!! Just trying to figure out posting pics...I am very green. They are coming. I sent the original out to a repair guy, he is trying to source a date wheel for it. One of the deficiencies of the first was a small date. The cyclops is apparently fine but the date font is wring. One of the easiest "give aways" I think; small date. I didn't take pics of it prior to sending it away and amazingly enough, Andrew did not insist on pictures before making a decision. I do however have the original "QC" picture, which I will post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moosewood 0 Posted April 2, 2011 Pictures: Here are some pics (please excuse the one I took, as it is an IPhone photo and not great) Original watch (QC pic) http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa421/.../SubLV1-1-1.jpg Replacement watch (QC pic) http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa421/...od/SubLV1-1.jpg Replacement watch (my pic) http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/aa421/...od/SubLV2-1.jpg The replacement watch has a rehaut that appears very "wokey", but in reality is only minutely more angled and hardly different than others. It has nice depth I thjink and that makes it appear a bit strange in the photos, were in person is quite good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted April 2, 2011 Welcome- glad you are satisfied with your new Rolex, many people have used Andrew here although he's not on the 'trusted dealer' list. Check out the sticky by Silverspeed for tips on watch pix, use the icon to attach the image from photobucket or other source. You get the hang of it after a short time.
