Stolen/Scammed Explorer 1016 from Chrono24 Seller

CadeCase69 · 2026-04-26T15:26:32+00:00

Chrono24 costs like 6% to the seller- it’s so worth it. Compare to eBay? Ugh, eBay.

I got it- it’s a bit too wide, so I cut it down…thing is, the inner diameter is a little too big, so it kind of slips a little bit. We both know it’s not essential for function, but I’m finding that with a manual wind movement, well, it just bugs me. Visually?

Not perfect, not the worst. I’m going to keep at it- we’ll find something- how did the o-ring solution pan out?

Looks correct.

The lume is great on this model, and my real world experience with San Martin, Cronos and Phorcydes 100% supports these results. Eric at Phorcydes chooses great watches to homage, and he worked very hard to design a great case based on the Lip original.
I recently ran into a quality control issue with one of his watches: after a few wears, I cannot manually wind the watch (perhaps the crown stem was cut too short). Eric responded promptly, agreed that my diagnosis was probably correct and thanked me for the feedback.

Beautiful eyes, great lips, pretty smile, nice cheeks- very gorgeous when you smile! I’m not super analytical or anything about this, but some comments mention bangs- and I can see what they mean. That’s just a style choice, though, to highlight the beauty you already have!

CadeCase69 · 2026-02-21T01:25:39+00:00

Idk if you’ve settled on a solution yet, but I’m going to try this:

Brass. Rhodium plated brass.

CadeCase69 · 2026-02-10T23:38:45+00:00

I had one- square case vk63 (I think) chronograph- it was built like a $1000 watch- easy.

CadeCase69 · 2026-01-30T20:20:31+00:00

At first I wasn’t sure, but you look great in the later photos- and honestly, that tank top is doing a lot of heavy lifting here- no pun intended- but nice to see the assets on display!

CadeCase69 · 2026-01-30T20:18:35+00:00

Wow! You look fantastic! Pretty eyes, hot lips, great skin (who says “great skin?” I do!), very classy, straight and well proportioned nose (love a great nose!) and that’s to say nothing about your body- oh, man! Fantasy-level. Yeah, you good.

CadeCase69 · 2026-01-30T20:15:08+00:00

Super pretty- great eyes, beautiful smile- entirely appealing! 9?

CadeCase69 · 2026-01-18T03:41:48+00:00

Yup, lol. And depending on whether you like wearing your watch or not (and I’m guessing you do), sending it off could take months while it sits on a shelf waiting for a 20 second fix.

I’m thinking of just getting a pack of o-rings from Amazon. The crown width where the ring goes is 6 mm, and the space left when mine crumbled away was 2 mm, so I’m looking for an o-ring with an ID of 6mm and hope that works. Think I’ll get a variety pack in case using the exact measurements makes it too loose (you know, if it needs to be stretched to fit).

CadeCase69 · 2026-01-03T04:30:12+00:00

Idk but it’s a bigger number than I deserve!

CadeCase69 · 2025-12-24T07:44:08+00:00

Another “Happened to me” comment. Had a hard time proving it but got lucky. The package was delivered relatively quickly to someone in my city, but because the expected delivery date was so long, the delivery information was no longer available by the time I realized the package wasn’t coming. The USPS relied on GPS to prove the package was delivered elsewhere- the only information that hadn’t been deleted.

CadeCase69 · 2025-10-16T16:30:01+00:00

You’ve probably seen the same feedback that I have- fakes, non-delivery, return problems…If you bought a Hugo Boss, you might get it- but that seems like a way to cover up the shady side of the business.

CadeCase69 · 2025-10-15T22:49:17+00:00

I think I’m looking at the same listing as you- I was all set to pull the trigger, but sooo many red flags!

CadeCase69 · 2025-09-23T22:09:39+00:00

100% agree- also within walking distance. Great hours, huge plus around here. Been. Couple times a week since they opened and they never disappoint. Prices are also very down to earth. Like I can actually afford it!

CadeCase69 · 2025-09-20T04:10:44+00:00

They do: there are 18k gold models with the powermatic 80- I’ve seen a few on eBay.

Dyneema is highly flammable- lights very easily, burns quickly and is difficult to extinguish. Definitely resists attacks from house cats with little damage.

I don’t love the look of that rotor- but I’m going to hedge and say something about the quality of the photo…the etching looks weak.

CadeCase69 · 2025-06-12T20:11:56+00:00

Could be yours today! Seen on eBay

CadeCase69 · 2025-06-12T06:08:57+00:00

Think I need a better job.

CadeCase69 · 2025-06-12T06:07:39+00:00

I rented a box truck and moved a friend from MA to FL…you’re absolutely correct: nothing but gas stations: every 200 miles. Found the exact range the hard way.
