Bought 3 from the £30 project watches listings that needed some work.
Also a few days later I bought the fully working Casio G Shock, yet to arrive as this one was a weekend buy.
I intend to build me a CasiOak, so have also ordered the full metal kit from SKX plus the CasiOak Case Back.
Aside from the disclosed faults all were absolutely as brand new.
As usual, the normal perfect service, products exactly as described, timeframes faster than Billy Whizz, thank you once again Maestro
2 were very easy fixes, and one tested my learner stage watchmaking skills, but all 3 have been resurrected and are now fully working, flawlessly and keeping good time
Omega Aqua Terra Small Seconds with White Dial, stripped out the movement, reset the hour and minute hands and reseated the dial tightening the screws properly.
AP RO Jumbo, fitted a new Battery and also found it would only run with crown unscrewed 1/4 turn, so popped out the stem and shortened it approx 0.5 mm, now just like the Omega it is running like a wee champ
TAG Heuer Carrera, this one was a challenge for 62 year old eyesight and arthritic fingers
It's Dial had broken loose from the Dial feet, and the hands all came off. This took some very careful re-engineering of the Dial and Spacer fixings and reseating the Hands. I also had to order a new Second Hand which arrived today, will fit that soon.
I re-assembled the watch a few days back just minus the Second Hand, and it too is running beautifully and keeping good time.
