Hi all, I just received my Explo II White face from Andrew. Fisrt, I wanted a noob with an ETA mvt and it seems that there are some supplies problems in this configuration. So, I changed my mind and after that Andrew said to me that his BP Maker's models were better than noob ones, I said let's go. Does anybody can tell me what are the main differences between these models ?? I've taken the UK transshipment and 15 days later, it is mine. And now, some pics quicky shooted. Please, let me know your thoughts.

I've been intrigued by this micro brand for a while and saw the opportunity to pick this one up. Steinhart Nav.B-Chrono 47 "Limited Gold Edition". Very nice homage watch! She has gold hands, gold rotor, and a gold ETA 7750. She came with a vintage weathered Buffalo strap and a new Honey Brown Buffalo strap. I thought I might do a catch and release, but I may keep this one for a little while!

Has anyone pre-ordered or purchased a PAM389 yet? I can't see any reviews yet, but this would be awesome if it came out good:

Well said guys!! These last few posts are what this thread was intended to be about, not to start a flame war, or get into a shouting contest about who is right or wrong here or why. It is simply to let folks know that there is a problem with a particular member who does repair work, period. Whether you believe about this particular member is going to be affected by your own dealings with him and/or your personal relationships with him, that's normal and that's life. You can go on Amazon and pick out any popular item there, and if it has lots of reviews, there are going to be plenty of 5 star, but there will also be some 1 star, Not everyone is going to be satisfied every time, however like Amazon, if you have a product with 50 reviews and 45 are 1-2 star, and only 2 or 3 are 5 star, then you need to look at that product pretty darn carefully before shelling out your money. Unfortunately on this forum ,we can't give 1-5 star reviews, we can leave negative feedback, but it's not that easy for someone who doesn't know how to find it to see reviews. If we had a rating system like Amazon for all the dealers and watch repair service providers, we wouldn't need threads like this, but we don't so this is what we need to do to make certain that all interested parties are provided with enough information that they can make and intelligent, informed decision. How many times in life have you said, after a bad experience with a repair person, a car dealership, etc.. "man, I wish someone had warned me about then before I spent my hard earned money and got a shoddy job" I know I have and it would have been great if I could have had some way of really checking up on a deal before I spent the money. That's call due diligence, but for due diligence to really work, you have to have enough information to make an intelligent decision

Thank you Admins! And I do appreciate the reason behind the OP posting the first post in this thread, but I think if all the people in this thread that cared for fellow members, just kept an eye out for any newbies looking for a watchsmith and if you see one just send a polite PM saying that at this time we could not recommend MD2020 and we advise them to look for someone else. And if they reply asking why, then point them to the first thread (if it still exists?). P.S. I know some have said that if newbies can't be bothered to do their research then it's their problem, but, really, we all started somewhere with very little or no knowledge. Isn't part of the forum to welcome newbies and help them out? Especially if there is a known problem we can help them avoid? We do it with scamming websites, help newbies to use the right one, this is just the same kind of thing. And by newbies I mean members who haven't used a watchsmith before. I'm sure there are lots of members who've been here years who've never had cause to need one, and who exclusively use the brand name forums.

In case anyone missed it a moderator has asked for all the hostilities to cease. I haven't read through the thread and I do not intend to....the next guy gets an official warning. Capice? Ken

OK....The devil made me do it!!!

Impressive collection!! and it sure looks promising I would do SS (but I only say this because I am currently wearing the PVD version )

It seems the noob version was a bit overhyped and the BP wasnt so bad after all. Qualitywise the noob wins it, but I have a BP with noob clasp and I am a happy camper.

She gave me her number 867-5309. Called herself Jenny.
