Ok serious one (Rado)

[jagmad]

Hi guys spotted this one and thought it looked like a compuchron.
Did Rado have them make some for them.
Never seen one like it before on the bay.
Anyone have any clues.
Here's the link sorry. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mint-Conditio ... ArVA%252Bg

Either the listing is gone or the link is dead.
I tried every trick in the book but can't find it.

You sure that is the correct link?

[jagmad]

For some reason they've completely removed it?

Haa but I took a screen shot. Wait here's the link to the photos.

Uh oh...
Looks like your in deep trouble...
But a nice cruise i'd love to see the northern lights ones.

Well i would try the tracking number again tomorrow there is always a delay.
It will probably arrive when your in Norway then....

So to put the answers in a postcard...

1
Work harder....

2
If you payed with PayPal chances are they will refund it after you filed a claim, but it sux 4 sure.

3
Now this might get tricky, buy her flowers and say your sorry.
Or when you get home quickly get the postmans letter that you can pick it up at the post office.

4
See answer #1 or sign a contract for a second job.

5
pray you will get away with it, if not get in the Jaguar and drive around the block a few times
Stop at the local car dealer and sell it to him and buy a Fiat Punto and have some money left to use for point 4.

Oops i accidentally added 5th point.

Good luck!

......Now he says he's shipped it, and sent me the tracking No. which isn't recognised. Rang DHL UK. they say they have nothing coming to my post code

I have had tracking numbers that were never recognised and still got the item with no problems and it always takes a day or two for the number to register, so I wouldn't worry too much.

[jagmad]

Houston we have a problem....or 2

1,I can't, getting up and down/ my knees are about Fcuk'ed.
one days hard graft leaves me feeling the same way as 72 hours
straight did 25 years ago. (2 days to recover)

2, do I wait till I get back to file if the tracking No. is rubbish.

3, The wife already knows, thought I'd get it out the way while
she's excited about the holiday.

4,Sold the Jag 5 months ago. No crying Giff so will have to do.
Needed to go though to many Nic Nic.

Here's two for the Jag

[jagmad]

Brilliant was that you Mick sabotaging my post
That's what I call Gifftastic

[Cesar]

1
Sell your entire watch collection and hire someone to do it for you. Just an

2
If you log into your paypal account and lookup the transaction.
It should say at the bottom somewhere how many days you have to file a claim.
I just checked one of my transactions and it says 45 days after transaction was made.
So i guess it depends on when you get back home from the trip.
After the claim the seller gets a chance to respond etc. etc. so it may take 3 or 4 weeks
to get your money back.

3
Very wise desicion...

1, What R U F IN CRAZY bad enough selling the jag.
When you say hire someone if you mean to do my job.
I'm afraid I made a rod for my own back there.
This explains it Mr Bond..


2,

3 I know, but I have said on here before I have the best wife in the world.

4 Don't it still hurts

Never never ever be offended by anything I say.
If I was you I'd wait till I smack you in the marf.

Well that didn't stay to serious for to long did it.

Cheers Mick News update you was right It's on its way (get in)

[Phasar66]

Here is another Compuchron look alike for those with deep pockets

[jagmad]

Deep pockets. you'll need a bloody sink hole.

Update she's at Heathrow already.

Any who back to the original post did rado sell a lot of these?
Anyone.

Thanks Pete

[Cesar]

WHOOOAAAAAA $29999?
Not in 29999 years!


Now its on 299.....maybe if i wait longer it'll go for 29,99

[jagmad]

OK it's landed. Mmmmm good news bad news doesn't stop.
The band is Huge, probably up to 8 1/2".
I'm not sure but I think that maybe the Pic's are of this watch some time ago.
There are some marks on it that certainly aren't in the pic's.
The watch was shipped in it's box and although it was well wrapped in bubble wrap,
the watch was loose, rattling around in the box.
Also the buttons are behaving erratic (maybe a clean?)
The 2 o'clock one only does time/secs. (no calendar functions)
The 8 o'clock just date/month. Is this correct?
Cos most of the compuchrons I've seen on ebay, the 2 button does both.

When I set it the set order is, month>date>hour>mins.. If I hold the 2'oclock the numbers
scroll every second on all but the mins. Then I have to press (very hard) and release to get it to move on?

Any ideas guys??
Thanks in advance Pete

[bruce wegmann]

Don't forget, Baylor also marketed a CompuChron look-alike. It may even have been a simple re-branding on the crystal, like the Tiffany and Neiman-Marcus Pulsars.

[jagmad]

Hi Bruce thanks for the reply.
Now I have it in my hand I have to say it's a heavy watch, the
band looks like a P2 style and the clasp is marked Rado too.
Have you any clues to the minute setting button needing a push to advance each minute,
and not the hour,date and month?
thanks in advance,
Pete
