Well said my friend. Everything I couldn’t sum up in the shock. Thanks for sharing. He really was one of the nicest guys you could meet. Seems to always happen to the good guys :(

I can’t see that it has been posted but just sharing the extremely sad news that Tom Dick (Dickstar1977) collapsed and died suddenly while at work on Friday. It was completely out of the blue and a...
What a great thread. Restores your faith in proper watch collecting. Keep them coming!
They have a 1665 for sale that has had 7 services and is UNPOLISHED!
As you can clearly see (from the super thin lugs and non existent crown guards…)
...
They sold a Singer Porsche a month or so ago for a record £700k and promoted it to death as a record sale.
Month later and the same car was for sale with a dealer....make of the auction what you...
I have a few CTEK and a few more of the £12 Lidl ones.
To be honest the Lidl ones are just as good if not better and I’ve been using them years....
More of these loose dials showing up at small auction houses?

Your issue is not this watch really. It’s the trouble you will have when coming to move it on if it’s to somebody who does sufficient diligence.
Like he is having now with you... ;)
You’ll be pretty safe using this to date your rolex....

Metres first 5513 is fine up to about 2.5m. I’ve seen quite a few 1970 metres first 5513 up to this (and the same is acceptable on metres first red sub 1680’s).
3.0m is 1972 and is later than any...
Nice one mate [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
Glad you are keeping it, been on track with it a lot over the years, although less recently.
Interestingly the C2 996 only weighed 1317kg, compared to today’s cars that’s still really quite light...
Nope. It’s just weird Phillips auction stuff. Happens all the time. Buyer probably had too many free champagnes and couldn’t afford anything else coming up or forgot about the 25% commission...
Just usual auction daftness. Phillips hyped it as impossible to buy lol and yet there’s over 40 for sale on chrono24 from £3k [emoji849][emoji849]
Someone goes to classic car nights... ;)
Ahhh right. VRF has moved completely to Tapatalk now...

Boom! Nice one Ryan, what a result. Well deserved. Xmas came a couple of days early [emoji106]
Not quite.
They’ve admitted they are correct now over there.....
...
They were listed as omega parts and guess no-one saw them or realised they were originals.
Buyer seems to be a guy on RWG a replica watch forum who got lucky....gotta feel for the sellers...

Cheers guys, appreciated :eagerness:
And he's online now as I type this at 1.16pm.
I doubt he will respond.
He's a liar and a bullshitter and takes a sick pleasure in messing people about once he has screwed them over.

Just quoting you in case you try to amend your post confirming that you have never tried to sell this Tudor Monte Carlo before and so would never have had to refund a buyer before either.
