Alan32 828 Posted November 5, 2019 Just bought two cracking watches from two members of the forum (thanks guys!) however got a Omega speedmaster >15000 gaus from the gate which was defective (see thread in dh gate) then I was looking for something on ebay and came across this Thought decent stainless steel quartz for £6.99 whats not to like. this is what arrived I wasn't expecting high horology but I did expect a working, GREEN, stainless steel quartz watch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan32 828 Posted November 5, 2019 PS the second hand came of the speedmaster as well. An Optimist says he has a half full cup A Pessimist says his cup is half empty I'm just thankful I've got a cup and there is something in it!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CurioLeo 296 Posted November 6, 2019 Don't see a problem.....round case - tick, metal case and bracelet - tick, date complication - tick, cyclops - tick, round hour markers - tick, Mercedes hour hand - tick, crown guards - tick, diver bezel - tick, same brand - tick, running - fucked if I know .....it's almost a perfect match???

BadApple 13,081 Posted November 6, 2019 Some people never happy. Some people moan their rep watch is 0.0000263598mm thicker than the gen. Your fault - should have been picked up at QC stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rx4Time 1,472 Posted November 6, 2019 When you buy a watch that has the name crudden on it, I think you should have set your expectations very low and expected even worse, which I think you received. I've never seen a cyclops that actually makes the date smaller before.... The floating second hand is a nice touch though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GingerApple 7,271 Posted November 6, 2019 That Crudden just made me actually lol. What a sight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan32 828 Posted November 12, 2019 The vendor of the crudden has given me a full refund AND says he has sent me another watch to change my negative feed back, and now he has emailed me to say that his boss will sack him at the end of the month if I don't change my feedback to positive......... hope he finds another job soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What am I missing? Why not change the Feedback to Positive? What more would you need to be satisfied? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the two, probably more of the latter. Maybe give a good review on the customer service at least? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alan32 828 Posted November 13, 2019 Hold on a minute ! there was an auction on eBay for a green quartz watch. I received a broken black and gold watch. the advert has been relisted on eBay. that is FRAUDULENT! How many people have written off their, miss described/ ,broken watches as “just one of those things” if this had been an individual who had listed this would you be so sympathetic? I am now being “ bribed” with a watch I don’t want and didn’t ask for so that this company can go on scamming people If you really think this “chap” is really going to loose his job I suggest you go on to eBay and buy one of their “green “ watches The company obviously think this is worth the trouble or they wouldn’t have relisted . I did not expect high horology or even a first rate watch, but what I received bore no relationship to the description or the photographs and that is pure and simply dishonest!
