New(ish) order with Andrew

[Jaype]

I placed a new(ish) order with Andrew, figured I would add to the order log on RWI and upload the experience.

Fingers and toes all crossed that it'll work out as it was a bit of a splurge.

Watch 01: MilSub 5513

• 10th May - Placed and order for his Vintage (looks like a 5513 milsub). I wasn't expecting a perfect clone, but it seems a good enough place to start.
• 17th May - got my QC pics, and yes - I noticed that the bezel wasn't super accurate to gen, hands aren't exact, but neither are deal-breakers. I had some pleasant email exchanges but then...

Watch 02: PAM127

• 18th May, I got tempted to buy something else, I went with the XF PAM127 and asked Andrew to ship both together, which he did tell me he'd do.
• I sent an email chasing after 12 days were up, but no watch in sight and I shall have to exercise the old patience muscles. I do hope to hear something soon.

I'll try to keep the forum updated as it unfolds (can post QC pics if people wish/as I get them), but I should mention that I've bought another watch in the past from Andrew (a VSF PAM388) and it was a very smooth transaction, so I'm hopeful. That watch lasted quite a while and took quite the beating (I wore it in a metal shop doing TIG welding and fitting pipe on a rig), but that piece is long overdue for a service.

I'll post pics when updates happen. If you read this Andrew, you've been a champ ;-) I just hope the factory mail comes in.

Update - I got the PAM127 QC pics today (shortly after I posted the above) - so I'm happier. I'll update when I get the watches with some pics - I'll include date of ship and date of receipt to Eastern Canada.
