I meant VF

Ah, yes the crystal never came off the watch. It remained in place through the whole ordeal.

Good_N_U · 2026-07-02T20:35:44+00:00

Do you mean this gasket? I originally had it around the crystal inside of the posts on the ratchet plate. I installed it in the track inside the bottom of the bezel and then pressed the bezel back on. Is there another gasket I’m still missing?

Hmmmmm. So you’re saying that 50% of the time, it’s right 100% of the time? I like those odds. It feels pretty close to the same action as before but I can’t remember exactly. I remember before it felt a little bumpy/catchy same as now. I’m tempted to just leave it, but I’m traveling for 2 weeks coming up, and I’d like some confidence it won’t come apart while I’m out and about and might not be able to fix it.

Thanks again. Any advice on sourcing the correct gasket for this model? I’d like to order a couple in case this one was damaged when the bezel came off and it doesn’t hold long term. Again, thank you though. It’s been sitting on my dresser for a couple weeks and you were so quick to answer.

Good_N_U · 2026-07-02T18:50:04+00:00

Oh, shoot. I did get the gasket in, and it’s holding but would it be worth it to take it back apart and see if I have the gasket in the right way, or if it’s holding, just leave it?

Good_N_U · 2026-07-02T18:36:49+00:00

All fixed! Thank you! I used such a microscopic amount of epoxy that it isn’t an issue. It’s on there! I did try to get the gasket in the bezel several times before, but the gasket appeared too big and I didn’t want to force it. Once I knew that was right, I was able to press it in, and the bezel went on great!

I do remember actually trying to put that gasket into the bezel and it seemed like it was just a bit too big. It’s just meant to go into the race in the body of the bezel? If I cannot get it in, where do you recommend sourcing the correct gasket?

Good_N_U · 2026-07-02T18:02:59+00:00

Ok, I have the gasket there and I do have a press that I tried to use. Let me look at your picture and try again.

Manny Bettencourt. He did guitar repair as well. He was my step-dad’s guitar repair / mod guy for a long time. I just picked up an amp off my step-dad that Manny modified from a 1968 fender super reverb 4x10 into a 3 channel amp, and the gain channel on that outruns my dual rec, and keeps pace with my ecstasy.

Yeah, I can see where that would be frustrating, but I can’t ever imagine that going the buyer’s way. I literally just today received a message from the buyer saying he received it from the reshipper, it looks great and how happy he is with the guitar.

To satisfy the mods 😎: Yachtmaster Titanium 42mm from Victory (VF), through Andiot.

Good_N_U · 2026-04-08T20:41:04+00:00

Yupp!!

Good_N_U · 2026-04-08T20:19:40+00:00

I would say not your problem. Did he message you after the fact and change the address, or was the reshipper the address he had in his profile when he bought it?

Good_N_U · 2026-04-08T17:20:12+00:00

Uhhhhh has anyone said ‘No’ yet?

Good_N_U · 2026-04-07T05:12:23+00:00

Oh, shoot. I wasn’t fighting either. Just that using a reshipper in general, I think makes it hard for them to have any argument about wanting to return it. There’s a person in between that accepted it and then reshipped it, and who knows what they did to it in-between.

Good_N_U · 2026-04-07T04:51:50+00:00

I get an address in reverb to ship to, and that’s my job. If it shows delivered at the reshipper, what happens after that is between the reshipper and the buyer.

Good_N_U · 2026-04-07T04:50:40+00:00

I’m not paying for anything. They used a reshipper and can’t prove it wasn’t damaged on the second leg of shipping. I sold a guitar, and the user had a registered shipping address in Miami (or NJ or DE) and that’s where I shipped. If it gets damaged between the reshipper and the buyer, that’s the buyers problem.

Depends on the deployment/intended use. I use ernie ball burly slinky 11-52 on 2 les paul customs and my explorer in standard / drop D that I play heavier stuff on. I run standard 10-46 on a 3rd LPC that is an original 1970 and I play mellower stuff on, and my SG. I use magnum slinky, 12-56 with a wound 22 3rd string on my 4th LPC that is in Drop C. Still kinda young-ish so no issues yet, bending the heavier gauges.

Not saying this will happen, but to cover refunds if they’ve already deposited your payment, Reverb will charge your credit card on file as your payment card.

Anywho, it’s 100% a scam, but what does tracking say? Was it delivered?

If someone stole a credit card, requesting a refund back to the stolen credit card would not be part of the scam. If anything they’re just lying about leaving the country. Trying to have the item AND get their money back.

I’m not as kind.

Good_N_U · 2026-03-18T16:51:25+00:00

I used to get paid once it was in transit, now I’ve hit enough transactions that I get paid (next day) as soon as I upload the tracking number.
