Well bought another vintage diver.

Post by **River Rat** » Sun May 12, 2024 8:50 am

I have a lot of vintage diver's watches sort of on a want list. This Titoni seascoper II diver watch was one of them. It got on my list when I seen one for sale on the MWR PX from the same seller I got my Technos skydiver from could not afford both at the time so put that model on my want list. These are sort of relatively unknown to most collector so you can still get a deal on them. I noticed they come with a few different movements with different jewel count and hands and cases after I seen this one, I just bought. This one sort of looks like the same case as my technos both made by Brevet case company and same crown. And has cool patina on the lume and comes with the original bracelet most are missing the bracelet, so I had to pay up a little due to that. Kind of a funky photo a screen shot seems on eBay the photo you copy wont download now to imgur. Coming from Australia so will be a few weeks before I receive it. Also looks like it could have a bakelite bezel. They also got a cool case back with a submarine on the case back.

Thanks. Hey Mike, do you know anything about these not much online. Notice there still in business but there watches suck now they should recreate these as a vintage remake, and they might do well with it.

Nice. A few different brands used the Seascoper name. Should have held on to this one...

Felca most know of. But the Titoni version of the seascoper most don't so a rarer watch. And the first Titoni seascoper I seen with a Brevet case like the Technos Skydiver. They came in a lot of different models. But nice Felca seascoper.

See the similarities.

First Time a watch was lost while being shipped. DHL is a bunch of clowns. In a few days I can file a claim through eBay if DHL can't find it. I wanted it shipped by FedEx 3-4 days, but he used DHL express the slowest shipper out there. To me the longer a watch is in the mail the more hands can touch it and steal it. Hope they find it. It was coming from Australia. Lost in the DHL delivery base CINCINNATI HUB - Ohio - USA. Never had great shipping time with ant DHL deliveries they suck.

This is a new one on me. It's been stuck in customs in LA. Due to they want a watch brake down form. The form wants to know watch brand the movement the jewel count if it has a battery if a quartz watch type of bracelet and price for each sounds like a load of bull shit. watch buyers beware and seller if your stuffs coming to the USA.

Post by **CGSshorty** » Wed May 29, 2024 5:25 pm

That form is required with every watch shipped from outside the US, as far as I know.

Post by **River Rat** » Wed May 29, 2024 7:35 pm

A little info. Now who fills out the form the person who shipped it or the one receiving it?

The seller is supposed to fill it out and send it with the watch.

Funny thing it was on hold and the computer tracking said it was in Ohio on 5\22, but it was in LA stuck in Customs you call their customer service number the computer answer system says put in tracking number then says the shipment needs more info to proceed guess the form. You call back say you want to talk to a human and the human says it's lost when the answer system is right. Took 8 days for human and answer system to know what the other hand was doing. I got the seller to fill out the form email it to me and then I emailed it to DHL now it's moving DHL a bunch of clowns 3-day shipping turns into a month-long episode.

Well watch is now on hold for fees then I call DHL about the fees guess what the watch is again lost in DHL black hole WTF. Don't think they ever found it think DHL is having fun jerking my chain the bastards.

Unfortunate. I've always had good luck with DHL.

Post by **River Rat** » Thu Jun 06, 2024 5:54 pm

Well received it today. Funny DHL took it out its original shipping box and put it in a USPS box with very little bubble wrap. The box was beat up and had a hole on its side thought the watch might be missing but was there. Never use DHL or have a seller use it to ship you a watch lackluster service. Had to use pollywatch to clean up scratches on the crystal and a new spring bar for the clasp on the bracelet to adjust it the old one fell apart as soon as I tried to adjust it.

Glad you got it and congrats Great looking vintage diver. My experience with DHL to the US from abroad, is once it arrives in the US, the tracking is schizophrenic.
