c-OMEX Marina Militare
So I sold my eBay no-brand Marina Militare...and then a
couple of months later kinda missed it. So, I went out to eBay
again and found these c-OMEX branded versions, basically the
exact same watch with an additional name on the dial. They were
selling pretty cheap, and the sellers feedback was a tad dodgy,
but I went for it anyway.
And then a lot of time passed...and nothing showed up...and
the seller's feedback on eBay got worse...and nothing showed
up...so finally at the 44 day mark I filed a claim with Paypal.
A week later I had an email from the seller stating that the
watch was on its way and if I would kindly cancel my complaint
after it arrived. Sure enough, it did arrive. Actually, two of
them did! Both on the bracelet (as pictured), but, only one of
them worked. On one, I can pull the crown out, and nothing
happens, no hacking, no time setting, nada. I resized one
and found that the bracelet did not fit my wrist very well, it
was (and is) either a tad too snug or to loose. And, to make
matters worse, I cannot, for the life of me, get the screws out
to be able to put the watch on the nifty carbon fiber strap I
bought for it. Which sucks because I am afraid that if I keep
trying, I am going to strip out the screw heads, which will do
me no good. I am tempted do take my Dremel tool and a cutting
bit and just hack the son-of-a-bitch off. But it has not come to
that, yet...
