So I received my Magico and winder today from slopNBC and guess what...MFers DOA. I never even looked and immediately sized the bracelets(screws!). When finsihed I attmpted to actually use this chunk for time keeping...that was my mistake!! Of course slp is sold out and can only offer a refund. Great deal!! Should I go warrantly from SWI which will cost me $10 plus postage and insurance? Should I send the whole kit and kaboodle back and get my $140? I am so pissed right now I can't think... Seems a big heavy imposing piece of fairly high quality... but how much confidence can I have in a product that arrive DOA? Apparently Tragico's first offering had a lot of DOAs... is this a repeat. I'd be better of buying the Alphas??? a very pissed Pax (Pardon my salty speech but I am an angry man!!) Last edited on Wed Jul 26th, 2006 07:57 pm by Paxman |

that friggin' sux. Send the POS back and get your money back in your pocket - then buy something of quality. There's a serious problem when they sell a watch AND winder for $140 bucks. And given that slop takes about 50% of the sale from the vendor, you do the math and tell me how much the pos is actually worth. Sorry for my salty-speech too, but I watched the vostok-europe models on slop and got po'd at all the lies they tell about the watches. Marc |

Another sad story my friend ...when a vendor cares nothing about watches, and cares only about profit...this is what happens.....SLOP will tell you anything to get you to purchase....I found its best to deal with somebody who loves watches |

My oppinion and this is not because of Marc, but send it back and look at the Orient divers that IW has. You have to many people who can afford any watch they want recomending them, I am even going to give one a shot. I think I want the one with a slide rule bezel, but that is because I deal with #'s all day. Last edited on Wed Jul 26th, 2006 10:06 pm by e.avery |

That Sux Pax....I know that feeling too well dealing w/slop :( I have one due tomorrow and I hope it isn't shades of the Invicta/Winder Episode We all went through a Year or so ago  If You really like the Watch call Lior...hopefully they have some in Reserve but according to what I heard on the Last Showing was that they Oversold  |

ROTFL...damn "Corona Brown Eye". Well, SWI is issuing a UPS call tag and should handle it from there... I have made 3 purchases from slop and got slapped on #3...mea culpa!! Should be a grand experiement and we'll see how true to his word Lior is...

Ha! Anglicized :P Funny you should mention the M-Force beast. It's on my radar of 'watches to get'. Right now I'm concentrating on getting some of the lower end Poljots ($175 price range). I hope to start getting these up over the weekend. Thanks- Marc Paxman wrote: I like the cut of your jib Marc!! I've decided to follow the customer service path and see where I come out... |

Now that the hissing and huffing is over :D, just send back for a credit to your bankcard. DO NOT try for one of the ones that "pop-up" after the big sale is over. Just get your money back and move on to something else. As for DOA watches, I've had my share from shopnbc. But, it is the chance you take buying from a big TV outfit. That said, I have had other vendors ship DOA watches too. And none of them were Invicta's. :D |

Don't get me started.:D You will get the same famous service from them no matter what you buy. It is way too risky and there is plenty of horror stories out there regarding their treatment of merchandise that you never really know what you are getting. I know for a fact that they resell items that have been returned because they were damaged, scratched, missing links, etc. I have received expensive watches that looked like they were used for a year. They will always refund your money and look for another sucker and that is how we are viewed, suckers. It really is not a good place to buy a watch. At least it was an SWI watch so Lior will take care of you if all else fails.

The Corona Brown Eye hath returned from Florida. Recived my DOA Magico back from SEI today. I can't complain about the service. They received it n 8/3/2006 and I have it back today. Per SWI "one of the jewels was loose in the movement causing the gears not to register". I am keeping it as a momento and reminder of SlopNBC's modus operandi. I might even wear it from time to time. BEHOLD THE CORONA BROWN EYE!! I even got the bitchin' Magico etching in the pic:shock::shock::shock:  |
