Occasionally they can feel a bit gritty when new which goes in a few days. All mine are butter smooth with no cross threads, theres nothing gnarly about them. Certainly not trash. |

Nice one mate, good price. Im not a fan of the concept of LEs, it seems crazy to me to spend twice as much for the same watch just a different colour but i did it with my green turtle and it turned out to be my fav, so it was worth it for that special watch. These LE's hold and raise in value a lot, if you ever chose to move it down the track youll make money on it so its not so crazy when yopu look at it that way. If you ever need a contact to get this or other LE's at a fair price drop me a PM i'll send you his details. cheers |

I need that contact please, WHAT A BS ORGANIZATION 24 chrono is!!!!!!!! So, I order the watch, and receive a stated shipping price of (aproximately) 80 (whatever the symbol is) to the US. I accept it. Chrono 24 said they “sent it to the dealer.” THEN, I recieve a notice from the dealer that my order is CANCELED. Reason: “SHIPPING TO THE US IS TOO EXPENSIVE (120). They didn’t bother to ask if I was willing to pay the extra 40, just cancelled it. WHY is chrono 24 advertising this at such and such a price and available for purchase and taking my order and WHY is the dealer not even ASKING if I am willing to pay the high(er) shipping price? I posted this story in the “Watch Out” section and sent the link to both organizations, what terrible service. Has anyone in Europe or anywhere else have any RELIABLE sources for someone that is ready to purchase? Sorry for the bad temper of this post, but I am pissed. What a ..... |

I saw the watch upon release and was very interested in acquiring one. I have been following and see that the prices are reflective of the popularity. I am paying attention and will find one, at some point, down the road from an American owner who will turn it over. I have just acquired the "Nemo" turtle which was a Japan only release from an American owner and saved a fair amount off retail and a lot off the crazy speculation prices. I would not pay much more than retail for this watch because there are so many other options that can be had that are just as cool in my opinion.

I would just wait for Seiyajapan to receive a batch which I imagine he eventually will.

I have only owned 4 of them and I have never had this issue either. I have had it on SKX's but once you run some dental floss over them they are good to go.

Me ain't the only one it seems https://forums.watchuseek.com/f21/sr...n-3331666.html I gave up and got an old 6109 instead. No issues. Too bad I like the colorways of the newer turtles. The Samurai's were ok though. This run of turtles i tried were just terrible. |
