my AP Diver. I was happy...for 26 hours

[alex.cpa]

Got it finally delivered from Vacum spa:

Bezel had some dings I wanted to brush out so next day it went to my smith.

Apparently he is not as rep friendly as I entrusted him to be over last two years. This is what I got from him today:

apparently he did not follow my instructions and decided to press the xtal back by removing the movement from the case but not removing external bezel per se. inner bezel was still inside!!!!!

Now I need to source new inner bezel and get it relumed again.

on top of it I need two new dial side gaskets. does anybody know the correct size?!

Oh man, this sucks! Cannot believe the guy did this much damage...I hope he was adequately apologetic and maybe even more...free work for a year!

...Brutal

 

[alex.cpa]

yeah. his second job must be a butcher

 

[madcatlancelot]

that's just insane.... poor diver.

It's next to impossible getting parts from TDs, your best bet is the parts sales section.

I feel your pain. I had mine for 24 hours and had it sent out to be fixed, the post office ends up losing mine via ems.

That's really bad luck.
