Bad Repair advice, common practice...?
I had some minor work done on my Rolex at a AD recently. One day when I picked up the Rolex I asked if the repair guy (watchmaker A) could fix the chrono function on my Omega Seamaster Olympics edition watch, which did nothing when I pushed the pushers. I gave it to him for a few minutes, he came back and said that he needed to send it out, as he wasn't familiar with the movement on that watch, and furthermore would have to send it out to Omega. He had it open for about five minutes, and the chrono still didn't work. I then took the watch to a trusted contact (watchmaker B), he looked at it for one minute and then asked if someone had recently worked on it. He indicated that someone had turned an adjustment screw all the way open, which had further complicated the problem. He fixed it in about two minutes applying the appropriate adjustments without changing any parts.Watchmaker B is certain that watchmaker A knew exactly what he was doing, as the movement is a very common chrono movem

Patek 5164 Aquanaut on Leather
Hello,Ended up putting the 5164 Aquanaut on a 21mm strap I had. It's not made to fit the factory deployment but already working on that and have two custom straps ordered to get the look with the factory deployment.Until then enjoy the pic, you don't seem many with leather. I really like it as it shows off a lot more of the great shape of the case! Sent from my STV100-2 using Tapatalk
