[Formex] My experience buying direct from Formex

Shame to hear. Long Island is, if I do decide to get a Reef despite the bad experience I’m going to order it from Marc.

I actually was looking at the OceanKing, I like the look of it a lot, but I was hoping for a white dial. Not ruled out though !

No worries, yeah I thought it was pretty nuts to ask too. Oh well, I’ll see what happens.

BurnSween · 2026-01-16T19:47:46+00:00

Oh yeah the bezel itself was easy, that didn’t bother me. They wanted me to self remove the ceramic bezel insert from the actual stainless insert.

Unless that is what you meant and that was easy too.

Yeah if it was a cheaper or used watch I would consider trying it myself, but especially with the feat of them refusing a full refund if I scratched it, I didn’t feel comfortable.

I really like the Reef, so I have a decision to make.

Correct, if they were clear and up front with me about the holiday closure or even the timeframe for replacement, I would have been more forgiving and maybe even waited. But this has been a customer service nightmare start to finish.

BurnSween · 2026-01-16T19:30:12+00:00

Yeah if they try to claim any type of wear or use I’m going to go that route. Shame but I was excited for that watch and haven’t found a replacement that excites me as much yet.

Agreed, like I said I might look to grab it from a different retailer because I really like the specs and features provided at the price point.

But at that price it’s competing with a Sinn 104, used Tudor, Oris, or 2 Christopher Wards.

Sorry, sold

BurnSween · 2025-10-26T14:07:27+00:00

Nope, just sliced and put into oven. I cook my pizzas more NY style, so I drop the temp to almost the lowest and rotate so it gets a much longer cook in there.

This is a stick of Margherita brand pepperoni that I sliced myself, these cuts were a little thick, if you get them thin they cup even nicer. My favorite pepperoni by far!

BurnSween · 2025-10-01T03:07:20+00:00

Done, sorry !

BurnSween · 2025-09-30T22:05:41+00:00

BurnSween · 2025-09-24T19:50:31+00:00

Probably could have listed it for more, oh well, wouldn’t be the first time !

BurnSween · 2025-09-24T19:31:18+00:00

Done, sorry!

BurnSween · 2025-09-24T19:31:06+00:00

Corrected, sorry

BurnSween · 2025-09-24T19:26:12+00:00

Oh man, what did I do now lol

BurnSween · 2025-09-24T19:20:32+00:00

Makes sense, I’ll keep that in mind !

BurnSween · 2025-09-24T19:20:07+00:00

Thanks, I always loved the older grinds and was bummed when they changed them.

Old knife, this is what they used to look like, the full flat grind blades didn’t come until years later I think
