I’ve never used a TD until now. I really like everything about buying from him. He’s on RWI all the time or at least it seems like he is. The prices are decent, not like buying in the wild but better than some of the other TD’s. The watch looks great and the QC was thorough. I wish he’d weighed it but they don’t typically weigh watches so no reason to change the routine. I definitely recommend buying from him

I really dig how Andiotwatches does things. Check out what they do with their QC. Strictly for watchaholics. I warn you now it’s a deep rabbit hole man.
hahahaha... I'll dive into it and will come out in the other side ordering 3 more watches 😂 thanks for sharing, pretty cool

You and me both. Everyone I’ve shown that came to the exact same conclusion.

Received my watch yesterday afternoon. The tracking lagged behind a bit but no big deal. The packaging and packing was great. Customer service has been outstanding throughout the process. The prices are a bit more than I’m used to but the customer service was worth it.
The watch looks better in real life than the pictures could have ever shown. It’s really an amazing timepiece. Looks and feels like one would expect. I’m 225-230lbs and it’s a bit tight with all the links. I’m going to try to get an extra link and hopefully it’ll fit better. I’ll update things later on and keep yall posted. Hope this helps

I reached out to Elliot for another link. He said he’s going to see how much another bracelet costs. The factory doesn’t provide parts. I’m not a real big guy so anyone who is bigger than 225lbs needs to verify the watch will fit them. The crown feels like the stem has a ball joint or the crown is loose on the stem. I’ve got a vsf Starbucks parts watch with a vs3235 movement with a stem for backup. However I’ll probably just wait and have it serviced if it gives me any problems. I don’t anticipate wearing it very often with it being a dress watch. I tend to wear my GMT’s and submariners most of the time. It’s probably gonna be like the 1908 and sit in the box doing nothing but looking good. I’ll put the money towards the Clean Daytona 116509 with the blue dial on or a Clean Pepsi v3. I don’t recommend that anyone buy this watch. However I do recommend buying from Elliot and Andiot watches.

Nice review, I agree with your recommendation. For a just little bit more money one can get a vintage 1969 gold capped Grand Seiko in very good condition. It'll be a great daily wear unlike this plated DD here.

I just sent 2 solid 14k Longines for servicing that I’ve had sitting around for years going to bad. Hopefully Michal at Watchserviceny can bring them back to life. I don’t mind plating but it’s not daily wear tough.
