The Dive Watch Connection

I know nothing about Croton other than that they used to advertise during Yankee games when I watched them, but the lack of centered bezel in the rendering is a bit odd.

Welcome

Took a flyer on one of these used. I’m impressed for the price. Don’s reviews provided all the encouragement I needed.

Merry Christmas, DWC.

Every day.

From what I’ve read recently, the Rolex bezel is made from one single piece of ceramic containing two colors, which is much harder to manufacture than a two piece bi-color bezel like other brands. I have no idea if this is accurate, but it makes sense. I also wondered what the “problem” was if so ma...

I just texted him…I assume he’s busy or whatever, we all step away on occasion. Will revert.

To Matt’s credit, he did call me direct and leave a a message a few weeks after the issue with my watch/refund. It was late-ish here on the east coast and I was eating dinner at the time and honestly forgot about it until now.

There’s many places to go with this quote…but I won’t.

Mine is on the way. Ordered 12/1.

How have you guys been contacting Aquastar for status? I've tried calling them but no one picks up. I sent a message thru their website and get no reply. It's getting frustrating and considering cancelling my order. Hows the customer service going to be if i cant even communicate at all. But then a...

I called Leonardo jewelers in New Jersey. Georgie answered the phone was very helpful. He would not verify that Anthony, Giordano purchased the watch on that date due to privacy issues but he did confirm that the family is a long time customer of theirs. I asked them if he would verify the watch in...

Are there any other letters in the serial number? I guess there could be an odd chance it “randomized” to have a Y at the beginning, but I am relatively certain it would need to have other letters in it as well. Yes...there is three numbers, then a "C" followed by three numbers I think you’re all g...

Another red flag…Y serial should have punched papers I believe. They didn’t move to a plastic card until later IIRC.

According to the card, it’s a Y serial. That’s no bueno for that reference. I’d suggest the guy have it checked out before selling.

Very nice. Congrats. AD came through after all??

They get more and more sophisticated. If I’m in the mood and have the time, I genuinely enjoy messing with the scammers on the phone sometimes. The other week I got a call from Bank of America asking to confirm Zelle transactions. I don’t have a BofA account. Idiots.

Later 14060M’s had an engraved rehaut and lug holes. Looks like this. Random serial 14060M (2013) :fro: https://i.imgur.com/J5jDiF7.jpg If I could go back in time, I probably would have looked for one of those while they were still in the case instead of getting a 114060 (at a 20% discount lol).

With two screwdrivers, a man can accomplish anything.

1:11pm EST order confirmed to be in first batch as well.
