Philip Customer service
Recently several of us purchased the 48mm Philip Admirale with the V7750. They were expected @ our homes by the 19th and then we received a letter from Mitch stating there was going to be a delay. A lot of people cancelled their orders and I thought long and hard but was convinced by another member not to. Well Philip stepped up, got the watches to the vendor and has picked up the tab for expeditied shipping for all buyers. Bravo and Kudos to a vendor that knows how to keep a client happy.I will not go into the Renato story about bad watch hands on a newer model belonging to a member( not me). I will not mention that the watch came back with painted hands rather than replaced ones. And the word China allegedlly was used as a location for repairs. That was jumped upon by a vendor as " the polishing cloth" was made in china. :rolleyes: In the end, the vendor made good on the repairs and I suspect a certain TV host may have played a large part in that.

Cheap 'n Cheerful vintage Timex Automatic. Gota love yardsales!
It ain't a Hamilton, it ain't a Bulova, it even ain't an Elgin but heck, it's an automatic, it runs and it's old(ish)!I think it's from the 70's or late 60's, plastic face but the dial is still nice and it runs like a dream! I need to give it a good cleaning, but it might be a nice little beater watch I could wear to work or something.Now, funny story.When I was digging around in a yardsale the other day, the lady who was hosting it came up and started idle chat. When I pulled our the Timex, the immediately took it and started saying nonsense like "Vintage art-deco style" and "incredibly rare to find' blah blah blah. Anyway, after listening to her little schpeil I finally got to talk her into me buying it for 1$. Anyway, I'm sure someone out there has a Timex and likes it, so don't be afraid to say so!

RG 44mm Novelty + cash for....
Rolex Platona?Yes or no?

Navy, Safari or Black Panda
Had a chance to view the new offshores 42mm live at the Singapore boutique and must say generally they are all really nice and its so hard to pick one. Was very keen on the all Grey but seeing this one live was a bit underwhelming very flat monotone even dull. The rose gold piece was gorgeous but it screams look at me! And heavy to wear. Narrowed down to the safari, navy and panda black and red .. Any advise out there? What are your thoughts as a second AP after the 40th anniversary jumbo?
