johanleibert 0 Posted December 27, 2012 Hi all, Been reading up a lot in the past few weeks, trying to learn as much as I can as this is all very new to me, there's a lot of good info here and seems like a great community, I just wanted to say thank you to all. I was very close to buying a couple of watches from iparadisiac and found this forum just in the nick of time, originally I was planning to buy 2 watches, one for myself and a gift for my father, however, I think I just opened up a whole can of worms. Like cake to a fat kid, hold on' that bitch got sprinkles, every good looking watch I see I just wanna have it. I recently bought my first 2 reps from Joshua since the other TDs didn't have it, but so far it's not going so well, the first watch, the crown stem completely came out as I unwind it for the first time (its currently been sent back so he can sort it out) and the second watch the clasp release metal button fell out too, my local watch repairer couldn't fix it so maybe have to send it back too. Probably just bad luck on my part, Josh's communication is great, usually responding within a few hours. I'm also waiting on a couple of watches from TimeShop, but it's taking very long, it's quite understandable at this time of year. So, within the span of 2 weeks, I blew about 2k on 4 watches, watch winders, tools, cases, the whole shebang and I don't think it's gonna stop anytime soon. Hi my name is Johan and I'm an addict. Nice to meet you all and thank-you. just in case, the watches I got from Josh are: http://imgur.com/a/N6YXX -This is the one with the clasp release button falling out http://imgur.com/a/Phecf -This is the one with the crown stem problem. apart from the problems, both watches looks really nice IRL, will post pics soon when i get it back. the watches I'm waiting on timeshop are: http://www.timeshops...asian-7750.html http://www.timeshops...8-28800bph.html (for my mum) Thanks all from Melbourne, Australia.
