19th June 2014 Paid hundreds of dollars for an overhaul of an antique watch, but the watch came back with an intermittent fault. The new winder he installed gets stuck in, so you can't change the time.
The guy was told about it, he told us to pull it really hard. The fault kept happening, so we took it back.
He's now had the watch for months, and today when I called him up, he denied any knowledge of the fault that he's already seen, and when I said that wasn't good enough, I got a lovely tirade of aggressive abuse. It's a shame when you have to tell a grown man to stop yelling at you.
I expect this will end up in small claims, but unless you enjoy wasting money and being treated like dirt, I'd keep well away from this cowboy.

8th April 2013 I went to this shop to have a look at vintage watches as I collect them.
I was initially impressed with the selection. I inquired about a very cheap Omega Constellation. He advised it is a copy. I know it is illegal to sell copies of any watch or other goods so I was a little dubious, However he had other nice looking watches. He had another fake watch there, A Tag Heuer. I advised the owner I wanted to come back in with some more time, He advised me I needed more money not time. Really it was that I didn't trust his shop.

21st October 2009 Lets just say I went in with a working watch, that needed a simple service, I came out with a watch that was missing the hands, didn't work and a quote for a $400 repair. Seems a bit strange
