My First LUM-TEC M51 Phantom!

[Ntense_SpecV]

Just ordered a M22 last night. My first real nice watch! So excited for it to show up.

[blitz]

I ordered a M23 last night too.

Well the Fedex guy dropped off my new watch today...yippie. The bad news is that I think there's a problem with it. It's a mechanical wind movement however I can't pull the crown out. I think it was over wound from the factory. I will be calling for service in the morning, but am I ever disssapointed already.

are you sure its not a threaded crown?

[Ntense_SpecV]

Okay. The site says screw lock crown, but the manual only mentions to wind clockwise. To set the time, pull out crown?WTF am I doing wrong? I can't get it turn either way.

[s dime]

I have an automatic watch with a screw down crown. If I tighten the crown too tight, and dont unscrew for a month or so, it is difficult to unscrew. I have thought in the past it was stuck as well. Maybe try turning counter clockwise a little harder?

I got mine yesterday, all the Tungsten watches have screw down crowns.

[Ntense_SpecV]

Well apparently I just didn't try hard enough to unscrew it. Worked this morning. I had to really put some effort to get it working.

photos please!

I had asked Wrist Weapon about the M23, they told me it was sold out. I asked if they could import one from Lum-tec since their website said it was in stock. They told me they didn't have any either, and the Lum-tec website just wasn't updated.

I ordered one directly from Lum-tec and it was here a few days later


I got the sapphire back for the M23 as well, wish they had them for more of the combat watches:

Blitz, that B6 looks amazing. I'm going to order one today from wristweapon. I want to get a custom strap on it like this one below.



I've been wearing my M47 so much i just love it and everywhere people are asking me about it.

[Euro_Trash]

Looks good with that band

M33 Chrono or the M41

I was looking for a discon tungsten as well a few months back.

I asked Wrist Weapon if they can order it because like you said, it says in stock on Lum-Tec website.

I was told that when a watch is running low, Lum-Tec reserves the final few and don't distribute to dealers.

Sounds like this is the same case.

for those of you that ordered from wrist weapon, did your watch just show up without any communication from the company? ie. "your watch has been shipped via fedex, here is your tracking number"

cause besides the automated "you ordered a watch" email i never got anything confirming my order. its been almost a full week now with no info.

EDIT: found them, junk mail of my paypal linked email... not the email i put into the order

also this is what the tracking number says

"Your item was delivered at 10:57 am on August 13, 2012 in LYNDEN, WA 98264. The item was signed for by L COOKE."

lulzwut?

i have ordered 3 watches from wrist weapon and they are extremely communicative from the moment my order goes through.

you receive 2 tracking numbers, one indicates it is shipped from lum-tec usa.

once it clear customs, they send you a purolator tracking number which usually means your watch is going to show up in the next 24 hours cause they ship express.

call Devon, he has helped me out big time since my first watch.
