Surprised to say the least!
A member bought a bezel for a 6106-8100 off me the other week & as always I gave discount as a member, the bezel duly arrived but he could not fit it & so I offered to fit it for free with just the cost of return postage. Watch arrived with me & low & behold no return postage money in with the watch, No contact details just a return address. Well the watch was gunged up with so much wrist cheese that the quickset date didnt work & the crystal was scratched to hell, more over the reason the bezel would not stay on was the bezel wire was missing. With no email or phone number which I asked for I set about stripping the watch for an ultra sonic & polish the crystal & used one of my nos bezel wires to fix the bezel. The watch looked sparkling & the Q/S now worked. A few days later he got in touch saying it was his mates watch & he had forgot to put the money in & could I post it back & then he would send the money lol. I said due to being let down I would need payment before posting as I had done the above work free & just wanted paying for the bezel wire & the return post, he duly paid next day in his name & I posted the watch. The watch looked a million dollars compared to how I got it & yet he has had the watch back & not even a thank you or acknowledgement he has received it, tracked so I know he has, What a shame a member should behave in this way, no names just a disappointing tale...................
