*Yawn* actually, to be clear - Good for me that I have Amazon to get authentic ETA movement reps - because your TD's don't have them.

WHO THE BLEEDING HELL IS JACK WU AND WHY WON'T HE ANSWER HIS PHONE!!?!
He responded to my every query on Whatsapp. Didn't get to go with a back forth since the time differences between Phoenix Arizona and Hong Kong. He even sent me video of the watch I purchased and will see if I can figure out away to show it here!

Jack Wu was very responsive to me. His responses seemed in line with any other TD I've encountered, no eyebrows raised yet. We didn't get to price (the part I am most curious about, seems like he is willing to take the smallest cut), but I'll likely give him a shot when Noob is back in business. In the interim, if a prospective buyer enjoys the seemingly "1 on 1" attention and responsiveness of Jack Wu, give JTime Watch a try. Very similar onboarding experience and I've been very impressed with JTime so far, just received QC photos, will post review when transaction fully concluded.
Since we are talking about non-TDs in this thread, has anyone used https://www.noob2.com/ ?

Yeah, I didn't really try to call him. I'm not convinced he's real. I'm not even sure if you're real... and besides, I don't want a Noob, Swiss ETA or not. Have you got the back off yet?
Actually, can you see if Jack can get hold of a Pam690 for me or does he exclusively stock Noob?
So somebody is building up this Jack Wu here in the forums. Hehehe

I have been swimming daily with this watch so I'm not taking the case back off with duct tape, as I'm sure I won't be able to screw it back on with the method to make it seal enough for swimming.
I'm not going to buy a Rolex case back tool either, since I will only have this watch alone to use on it. I will in the next week or so take it to my jeweler and have him open it up and I will take a photo of it then. He will then close the case back up and pressure test it for me, I might have him regulate it, but since it's running +3 seconds a day so far, since the day I received it, I might take a pass on that as well.
If you have the Whatsapp. app on your phone just text Jack Wu at his listed #. I do know this, he must have access to parts some of the TDs don't have, since I looked into purchasing a Explorer 1 from Intime last year, and informed them I would need extra links in the watch since I have an 8" wrist and every Gen Rolex I have tried on at Rolex Ads, the bracelet was too short.
Intime told me they couldn't install extra links, that I would have to purchase an entire extra bracelet and cannibalize links off that to lengthen the bracelet on the watch they would sell me.
Jack Wu had two extra links for my watch installed when I received it. Bracelet was actually too long and I had to remove on the links to make it fit right.

He sounds pretty good this chap! What was his name again?
Here's my Amazon review of my watch, not the comment next to my name. "Top Watch Contributor"
