Welcome to the Brig: OASCOM

[Caboose]

Your wife and unborn child were in mortal peril and so you created a forum… At the same time you can’t take 10 seconds to respond to an email?

Please have some respect for Oascom, he is the real victim here, not the dozens and dozens of customers he hasn't responded to in over a year.

 

[P..DR..D]

To the members (both who have come forward & for those who have yet to, for whatever reason) I truly hope all matters are resolved.

I know it's a hobby, but it would make me sick potentially losing the kinds of money some have reported in this thread.

I hope that you can/will pursue legal avenues towards full restitution.

You have his name & address!

If he has your property, and has yet to return it, despite requests, that's surely theft...

It seems that @Oascom has a plethora of excuses, that just roll off his tongue, which is sadly the norm when sh!t hits the fan.

And to set up a competing forum (sorry, it's completely different, silly me, I must make confusion) whilst your wife is ill with your unborn baby, wow, next level disgusting.

The fact remains: Actions matter, words are worthless.

I do feel sorry for his children though.

He is supposed to be someone that they respect, their role model & their moral compass.

He has failed in all measurable metrics as a decent parent, unless he is raising them to be thieves and liars too.

I hope he'll have a visit on a dark night, and I haven't even lost any money with him.
I hope everyone wronged will get their money back, watches done properly etc, but I seriously doubt it.
There money is spent. He is now living on money from un-suspecting new clients prepayments, if they are stupid enough to pay him with all the current press about this ........ well ........ says it all.

Blokes a disgrace to horology

Horology is a trade like any other.
There are good guys and bad guys.

And then there's this sorry fucker.

If people only knew what his dials actually cost. I mean I could spill the tea as the kids say these days, but it wouldn't make any difference.

$85

$85

Could be a little bit higher if it's actually real. But, given his propensity to lie and cheat, I'm saying lower...much lower.

Yes, Daniel a.k.a. P4GTR, and Michael a.k.a. Keystone Chrono Works, both had such bad situations we were forced to ban them, but they have made their way elsewhere and setup shop to poor unsuspecting people. I do understand some who have these builds having to sign up over there because they will be banned here, and of course people are now discovering that the value is a fraction of what they have paid for them. You gotta unload them somewhere I suppose?

Shameful. Unfiltered, unchecked sales and service by those who were so bad they had to be banned.

And of course don't forget that all these service dudes eventually come down with horrible disease, SOVID-24

@tripdog explains it as "SOVED-24 - Sudden Onset Varying Excuses Disorder"

Just curious, what was the issue with Michael aka keystone.. I’m in a few groups he is in and I’d hate to be referring folks to him not knowing there are some concerning issues with his business practices

Looks like Google needs a refresher on whatever keystone chronograph works issues were as entering the search term " keystone chronograph works RWI" returned this which obviously isn't accurate or true.

Keystone Chrono is Mike McNair.
Sending a watch to Mike McNair is like asking the Keystone Cops to solve a crime - the choice of name was not an accident.

He's also around as Timelywatchesusa, which the plater who enjoys fathering flan is associated with them.
