Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted November 15, 2023 Are these the QC pics & he has posted them after the watch has arrived? The YM comes with either a black dial or the falcon eye dial. The falcon eye dial looks like it has been buffed in places across the dial like in his first pic. I guess he is saying his YM didn't come with the plain black dial but thats what the pics show.

I still want to understand why you're abusing the guy. There's nothing in Mystery Shopper's post that explains abuse of the chap. Could you not just explain? Your reluctance to explain is very strange. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted November 15, 2023 It looks like he posted the QC pics. The QC pics show a YM with a falcon dial. He must have approved the QC pics for the watch to be sent. The watch then arrived and now he is unhappy because he doesn't like the dial and made a first post stating this. Now, @BadApple called the guy a Noob (are you still keeping up @GingerJesus) & this is where it gets interesting because the Ginger is confused by this..... BadApple may have called the guy a noob (no point remembering his name because he hasn't dropped in since) as: he posted QC pics (a no no) the pics showed the dial clearly but he didn't say 'I don't want that one' he then approved QC pics of something he didn't want he gets the watch and then decided he doesn't like it he makes a negative first post rather than speaking with the dealer the negative first post could read as an ad for a back door sale BadApple might have had a bad day and rather than explain all this to the first poster, just decided to call him a noob. Are you still keeping up Ginge? Once @GingerJesus was confused, I think @BadApple decided to repeat dot point seven with @GingerJesus because its fun. Did that help Ginge? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for taking the time to reply civilly. More than some people can manage. Whilst your interpretation could well be right, the OP was so vague that we don't know for sure! Hence why I asked him to clarify. He writes 1. Arrived today. 2. Not thrilled with it. 3. Up for discussion. 4. Bought a solid black dial. That could mean 1. The Raven's Eye arrived today. 2. I'm not thrilled with it. 3. What do you guys think of the Raven's Eye? 4. I've now bought a plain black version. Either way, I still don't get BA's response. Is the OP had titled the thread 'Scammed by [named] TD!' or similar and then crammed it full of unwarranted vitriol, then sure, I'd get BA's reaction, but I'm just not sure OP is saying that! Btw, the rules on posting of QC pics have been relaxed (post-acceptance). You can't post them to say 'Do you think my 9 o'clock marker is wonky' or similar, but you can post new watches for general discussion - which could be exactly what OP intended here ('3. Up for discussion'). On that note, I didn't realise Raven's Eye could be yellow!!?! I thought they always contained blue hints? I quite like OPs watch!

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted November 15, 2023 I'm not a fan of the falcon dial- it looks unfinished to me. All blue hints in the examples below. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/two-new-wild-rolex-yacht-master-42mm-models-one-in-yellow-gold-and-another-with-a-falcons-eye-dial Quote I quite like OPs watch!
