Directly through the RSC in my case. They sent the packaging kit and i packed the watch and shipped it out.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks. Wanted a dressier watch vs sport as I got the Smurf thus opted for the WG fluted. Still got the smooth bezel, can swap whenever I want. You are correct, eBay authenticators refused the watch with the bracelet being “not matching to the model” they sent it back to the seller “interwatches” powerful seller and reputable. He fixed it and swapped it with the correct bracelet and it passed the authentication. The pictures you’re seeing above are from the listing before it was swapped to the correct one. Good eyes! Mike tightened it up about 96% back.

Also, what did they charge for everything, if you don't mind me asking.

Swapped it myself. Prefer not to say. Let’s just say way way cheaper from what RSC would have asked. Mike can give you a quote if you msg them. They respond quickly.

Thank you. Yes they are. I was one of a few that got his accepted before the move. Don’t think he can take anything now and if he does it will be delayed due to the move.
