Cyril_Clunge 0 Posted March 23, 2013 Actually I think I may be done too. Haven't bought anything for quite a while and then today, whilst out shopping with Mrs C I got the green light for a gen purchase. In the AD with a ceramic PO on my wrist a little while later I found that I just couldn't bring myself to spend the cash. At home a few hours later and I'm getting ready to go out for a meal and get the Safari out of the watchbox only to find it as dead as the proverbial extinct flightless bird. I may well be camped outside the AD waiting for them to open tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted March 23, 2013 I hate when that happens Cyril. I just picked up my good ole Swiss Fish that worked flawlessly for 5 years- also dead as a dodo. Sent it off to 10:10 for CPR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardMiami 4 Posted March 23, 2013 I am literally on my way to my rep-friendly watchsmith right now. I brought my Omega Deville on a trip this week, and it was DOA coming out of its box. First time like that for me. Let's see what he says. . sent from a mall using technology Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
conx 0 Posted March 23, 2013 I sense a trend here. Are all these dead reps due to the current crackdown? Damn clever those Chinese police. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Del 4,540 Posted March 23, 2013 That's a bummer CC. Send a PM to midasmook and he'll tell what he got done to his Safari to get it fixed after it also stopped out of the blue. It wasn't cheap but is the only way to go with this watch if you plan on keeping it. Tbh, this is why I don't have any secs @ 12 in my collection now...

Tut Tut Jeff - you should not discriminate against Me and Conx because we tried to bring back the little Army Man. You enjoyed getting him cleaning the cells in the Gulag but me and Conx have never done you any harm and a comeback Poll don't deserve Gulag time.
