in my case he charged 120€ on top on a watch I bought from him for a "service" he did on it (in his word "cleaned, oiled, regulated and waterproofed 5atm)
the result of the service was :
date changes sometimes 7 o´clock, 8 o´clock 11 o´clock and so on
power reserve was less then 2 hours
the movement was loosen in the case
after sending the watch to a trustworthy watchmaker here it came out that the watch was
NOT cleaned in any way
screws were lost or wrong screws were placed on the movement
parts of the movement were treated bad (scratches all over)
HerbertPeter did not solve a problem he obviously had with the date switch ( threads and youtube videos can prove this) but he was quite astound when I told him that there was an issue
and finally he made a promise about sending something to me which he did not.
I am really a person who has a big heart and a lot of patience but when it comes down that someone really thinks I am a dumbass I am loosing my decency
In my case I am "lucky" that I have a watch at least and it´s only about a "service" I paid for but get nothing but problems...I hope the guys who paid for a watch and obviously got none are getting their watch OR their money at least
@HerbertPeter : do the right thing as a guy from a region I really love and live at, too - solve the problems and set things straight! When you are really exhausted for whatever reason -ok...but do not scam people here and if you did a mistake just say like it is and no-one will talk about that later....
