Re: Any experience/feedback with online dealer "getbezel"?

Never heard of them, which doesn’t mean they aren’t impeccable, but with so many known 100% legit dealers out there, why take the chance unless you can find verifiable feedback.

If they could slim down the case, the black one would be my next watch. Love that they matted it down.

Re: Experiences SELLING to online dealers?

DSW if you want the quickest, most efficient process, but it will likely be the lowest price.

Takuya is also great, but there’s typically more going back and forth on condition/price than with DSW in my experience. Still a rock solid guy to work with.

Those are the only two I’ve dealt with.

I mention this as someone who is mostly aligned with you…this just isn’t the place. No one wants that type of discourse on a watch forum. Plenty of other places for it. I personally come here to escape that.

Finally watched this and I don’t know what took so long. This guy was doing the stuff that no one would even consider attempting, and doing it in preferred relative anonymity. Burned a little too bright and ended up like most in that world do, for better or worse. Sad irony is that his style isn’t w...

Re: School Me on Joma Shop

Thanks for the replies! Since UN offers a 5 year warranty if bought from "proper" channels, I might not want to chance the steep discount and no manufacturer warranty from a gray dealer. That was one thing that had me worried when I saw their price on my Seamaster. I called Topper’s and told Jay wh...

School Me on Joma Shop

I’ve never had an issue with them other than some delayed shipping, but nothing serious. I just assume there will be zero warranty support on anything I buy, though I’ve read elsewhere they actually take care of things pretty well if needed. I still wouldn’t buy an in-house movement watch from them ...
