PAL2PQ 0 Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Hi, So i bought a black tudor pelagos v6f v3 with a 2824-2 movement but got one with a miyota 9015 i contacted td and he told me that this was the more expensive version while he is keeping his price the same???? i asked him what we could do to help this issue because i really want the 2824-2 because the miyota just sounds like a toy watch which is not what i spent 300$ on, he has been ignoring me for a day now what can i do because it seems like he doesnt want to do anything about it. Edit: the problem was solved and the TD in question will change the description of the item to match the actual item, and he gave me free shipping on my next item, so all worked out in the end Edited April 15, 2018 by PAL2PQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadPickle 2,746 Posted April 11, 2018 hang in there for now, maybe the dealer is trying to source you the one requested before offering a solution. If you get no joy from the TD in the next few days contact a forum moderator for help. hope it all works out for you pal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted April 11, 2018 I'd take a Miyota over an asian clone every day of the week. And why is this in Scams forum again? You got a watch, possibly a better one ( I don't know anything about this version, I have the first version) and the TD hasn't happened to answer you in under a day and it's a Scam?

EBB 25 Posted April 11, 2018 Well that's not good, you paid for a more expensive movement, and got the cheaper one, hope all works out, best of luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jibuti 958 Posted April 11, 2018 chill out OP, one day is nothing in these dimensions we are... TDs have life, too (so I've heard, but not much out of fora...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Stubbs 0 Posted April 11, 2018 Thank you for not naming the dealer. Please don't use the word 'scammed'. If a more valuable watch was substituted, you weren't scammed. Follow PBR's advice. The dealer might have been trying to help you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patience is the virtue in this game. Just because the TD has not responded to your email does not mean to say that he/she is ignoring you. As @jibuti said TD's also have a life and you have to bear in mind the time differences between where you are and where they are. Chill out, take your time and if for some reason things don't work out then contact a mod. I will say one thing in your favour though, despite it is your first post, you didn't name and shame the TD. That is a big no no on here without mod approval and well done you for not doing so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McGilli 1 Posted April 11, 2018 So - just so a noob like me can follow along... Miyota IS a better movement? Like - absolutely? Cuz I'm just wondering why someone would be upset at getting an upgrade for free.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the same, but on the next door first 4 Pelagos miyota reps... were immediately in m2m, due to the noisy rotor. A2824 Pelagos is still better imo.

Stay cool. One day is nothing, TDs do have their lives and other customers too. Frankly I would suggest to avoid shipping the watch back to China. If you are not happy with the watch, try to work out some discount from TD, sell the watch in m2m and buy what you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
splke 4,383 Posted April 11, 2018 I think you have every right to be pissed off I wouldn't want the miyota either. But like pickle said play the long game if after a while you feel you are not getting anywhere then it is mod time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuz I'm just wondering why someone would be upset at getting an upgrade for free.... In general: yes. For sure better than unnamed Asian clone. On pair with a Seagull clone. Just put a tiny (I wrote TINY) amount of Moebius HP 1300 in the rotor bearing and it will be silent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At no point is it advised to openly accuse the td of scamming you after an entire day of not replying. Bad form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He didn't reply to your immediate and instant second email because TD's go through their emails once a day - one email, one reply. If he'd replied to your 2nd email, you would have sent a 3rd, he would have replied, then you would have sent a 4th etc - it becomes a fucking conversation - he doesn't have time for that.
