Bad experience with trusted watch service, what would you do?

[mvyzfr1]

So you guys think it's wise to go on a public forum and bash the person who has your favorite watches in their hands while you're expecting that person to be careful and thorough and to fix them and send them back to you?

I guess our thought processes differ.

At least you might post a review about him at the end, to warn the others, or maybe to recommend him to them depending on how it turned. Good luck !

I think I know who it is, and he is very respected here...very talented guy, but has a problem controlling his "backlog"...this guy did work for me, and had my watches for a LONG time...and because I am speculating, no names ...I'll wait for the OP to update the thread..

If you're going to be quiet, then be quiet
Posting mysteries just makes people guess.

Ps Wiz would hardly break your watch coz you posted his name here!

 

[mvyzfr1]

If you take the time to read the original post, you can see that the point of the post was to determine if I should give the watch smith an opportunity to rectify problems after an initial poor result. It was never my intention to perform a public flogging.

My primary concern is to get my watches back in proper form. Once they are back in my hands (hopefully fixed, but maybe not), only then would I consider full disclosure. Perhaps some patience is in order.

 

[wat44]

I'm sure Wiz will do great work, be patient.

 

[mvyzfr1]

If it had been Wiz, I don't think this thread would exist

Generally a watchsmith backed up with 4 months of work is so, due to the fact that he is very good at what he does. With that amount of work he has to feel some pressure to get things done and is prone to have one bad day every now and then, we all have them.

Give him one more chance.

That's not fair to Wiz...just sayin, I wouldn't want my name associated with this thread in a negative light....

Much like a rattlesnake rattles before he bites, the op has chosen to use the forum to pressure the smith into doing the job....he asked for help, in the open forum, but had no intention of actually taking anyones advise or disclosing the persons identity unless the guy doesn't meet his demands and expectations....The reason I hate this kind of post is because there's a big potential for assumptions and the wrong person get damaged through rumors and/or innuendo..
Originally the proper procedure was for a help desk ticket be opened so a moderator would have opportunity to hear both sides and use the tools at his/her disposal to get to the bottom of the problem for a fair resolution while protecting all members the whole while........ Remember guys there's always two sides to a story.:spank:

It wasn't Wiz. I know who it is and have had the same shoddy workmanship done on one of my favorite watches, including a damaged dial. I've discussed it with the OP. I wouldn't reveal his name either and will leave it to the OP when and if he feels the time is right.


If Trailboss cares to know I'll let him see the evidence. Otherwise, don't PM me asking. It's a CONUS watch smith though.

 

[mitchbaria]

My point exactly and all the more reason for a mod to be involved from the start... now this, instead of someone having a bad day, appears to be a habitual offender and justifies my initial concerns early on in this thread.

 

[sub4me]

Just tell us who it is and lets hear from the watchsmith to hear his side of things.

What about me? I'm red.

But you're not the [BLINK]"Great and all powerful Wizard of Oz"[/BLINK]. :hehehe:












OK, PM incoming.

 

[Q5?]

It's okay. I'm pretty sure I know who it is.

 

[Q5?]

I have used four different guys here. All but one I wanted some follow up work done.

I take it as being part of the game and would send them back without hesitation.

 

[KBH]

It's okay. I'm pretty sure I know who it is.

You've got some reading material.......

 

[d4m.test]

Such a crappy situation. I'm really scared for your omega, and understand why you don't want to name the watchsmith right now. We should probably all stop the guessing game and hint dropping and wait for your update.

Or you can say that the watchsmith is sub4me. He could use some humbling after his award.

The open forum is to unpredictable to post these touchy situations until they have been resolved... that's why other senior members spoke up immediately to advise the op to seek assistance from a moderator.....to which is response was to not follow their advise.
