IT'S IN!!!!!!!!!!!!! DHL JUST ARRIVED. I should have kept the driver at my house so he could take it back with him. This watch is no where near as nice as the Dopple. Now I really regret selling the TG Dopple. Damn it!



LOL :lol:

I think it looks pretty nice. Maybe its just one of those "in person" things?

So this is what it means when you have a watch "only for a few minutes"... :lol: :wink: :poke:

Are you able to return it following an unfavorable inspection, or are you going to have to sell it?

I haven't decided if I should ask to trade it for 5001 plus cash or just sell it on my own. I'm not too worried, someone will want it.

The 5001 is a personal favorite - beautiful watch. Didn't I see one of those on your list in a different thread?. :)

Is it bad form just to return it? The times I've bought blind from reputable dealers, I always had an "inspection" period of about 48 hours to confirm that I actually like the watch. If I didn't like it, I could return it, provided I hadn't worn it. If you like the 5001, go for it; I just don't see why you should deal with the hassle and depreciation of selling it.

8) Who said anything about depreciation?

David - I did have a 5001 and it's one of only a couple watches that I really regret selling. I moved that to buy an AP which I also hated. Yea I'm nuts.

:shock: It still looks great in that picture to me, so as RJ said, I guess it's an "in person" thing......

Here are some better pictures. IMO it lacks something, something is missing that the Dopple had. It's just blah and I don't like the shape of the case which is definitely different than the previous Top Gun.
