hamptons28 0 Posted September 21, 2012 I know I've already asked a few of you, so this might seem crazy for posting it. But does anybody notice the larger than normal gap(s), or am I just crazy? Maybe the flaws are small, but I ordered the N rather than the H for a reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,505 Posted September 21, 2012 Hmmm, that's interesting. It doesn't look quite right - I need to check my 111N to compare..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,505 Posted September 21, 2012 This is my v1 - doesn't appear to be a similar gap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazz 0 Posted September 21, 2012 Mine don't have the gaps, until I take a pic using the iPad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalboy 2 Posted September 21, 2012 Yes the Gaps do look weird. As Del said, i too have checked mine and no sign of any gaps..........you should contact the dealer. Dal........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamptons28 0 Posted September 21, 2012 Hmmm thanks for the posts guys, yes I've contacted the TD and he said that I will not notice them and it is a good rep, unfortunately it was shipped already. If if it bothers me I can return it. Yeah I'm hoping that maybe the screws are loose or something... really dont want to have to ship back to china Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazz 0 Posted September 21, 2012 screws could be loose, there was a similar post some time ago, and all was well when the watch arrived, hope it't the same for you. keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hamptons28 0 Posted September 21, 2012 Will do Would you guys have not taken this watch? Also the watch is still in China, should I tell him to cancel the shipment and just refund me before it leaves? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sequoia 0 Posted September 21, 2012 If you can I would decline the watch and request one with no gaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalboy 2 Posted September 21, 2012 Will do Would you guys have not taken this watch? Also the watch is still in China, should I tell him to cancel the shipment and just refund me before it leaves? Not really a fair question is it..thats a judgement call you will have to make..you have to remember the dealer doe's not carry stock and so will have to source another for you.. All i can say is if your unsure ask the dealer to check the screws for tightness before he ships..other than that your on your own ...........sorry. Dal..

ALE7575 24 Posted September 21, 2012 Hi Hamptons You have asked a few of us about this matter and you already have from few of us the answer. IT IS OK Do you know below pic?? This is a enlargement of the first QC pic of YOUR WATCH (I have it from your PM to me). Why do not have you shown this pic of your watch in this thread ??? !!! IT IS CLEAR IN IT THAT IT IS NOT NOTICEABLE GAP You are getting confiused people It seems that you don't want to admit that you have a good watch Please my friend take the watch and ENJOY IT !!!!!!!!! ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazz 0 Posted September 21, 2012 I am going to butt in again here, I am convinced the watch will be fine, as I said earlier, there was a similar post a while back, and the watch arrived and it was OK, was just the photos and angle that made the gap look odd. If when it arrives and I am wrong, if it was a TD I am sure you will get sorted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crusader 0 Posted September 22, 2012 How about removing the crown guard and placing it back again, maybe the chinese worker doing it rushed or had a bad day? That would be my first option. You can try, it's simple matter of removing screws and putting it back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kolchak 17 Posted September 22, 2012 Not saying it's the case with our OP here as he seems like a fine chap, but some folks just need stuff to obsess and / or complain about. Unfortunately for TD's, sometimes their hyper focused attention turns to rep watches. rep-minutia makes it more difficult for buyers to get deals completed & serious problems fixed.

NFleischer 4,355 Posted September 22, 2012 super anal / O.C.D. types + reps = fail +1 Million!!!!!!! and what is the deal with the super anal types anyway??? They like to take it in the ass? or they don't like to expel their poop? I can't remember Psych 101 was so long ago. Usually both! Actually it refers to one of the stages of development according to Freud- Anal stage around 2 years when a child is struggling to CONTROL his bladder/ and bowels. So it's really a control issue over the parents. Also Freud thought that symbolically shit= money in the unconscious, that's why a lot of 'anal' people are cheap too.

hamptons28 0 Posted September 22, 2012 I took AP Psychology last year during 11th grade and from what I've learned about OCD; I definitely have it. I apologize to those who were irritated due to this thread but I've been scammed by a non-TD with an awful watch and was just scared that it was going to happen again. I now understand that these are reps and there are inconsistencies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I now understand that these are reps and there are inconsistencies. No worries Hamptons - most of us have been scammed but once here the rep buying protocol learning curve is very fast/steep. You'll get some flack for double posting questions & jocking TD's about minor things but this is the perfect attitude. You certainly won't be scammed here - hope you enjoy whatever watches you buy and (if possible) don't stress over minor flaws / tells. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
