I got my 7836 from Mary. Not perfect, but great for the money. Used WSO 580 endlinks. Sorry I don't have a better pic.

Just a quick report of a positive experience with Andrew and a return for repair. When I received my Pepsi GMT Master II back in August, I had issues within minutes. The hands were loose and interlocking with each other and the stem pulled right out of the watch in me. I knew the risks involved in sending it back to China for repair, but decided to give it a go anyway. I filled out the form received from Andrew and sent the watch by international priority mail to the address he gave me. Tracking went well and within 10 days, Andrews watch smith confirmed receipt. I was told it would be about 6 weeks for repair and sure enough, I received notice of shipment out of Hong Kong with a tracking number. I received the watch today and all appears to be functioning perfectly now. I'm not sure I'd risk sending it back every time, but I probably saved a chunk of change as opposed to handing it to a watch smith to handle locally. I'm still gun-shy about tackling something like this myself! Anyway, thanks to Andrew and his team for a very positive experience! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks, here is another picture that may show the result a little more clearly.

I've got the same combo as tomhorn on a 5513. Best 'bang for buck' I reckon. However, I've got a JMB caseset for a 1016 so I've just tried fitting my 5513 bracelet to it and I'm afraid it's not quite right. The 2mm springbars fit fine into the lugs on their own but when put into the endlinks the 580's don't allow the springbar to line up with the lug holes. It's very close but not quite there. I'm no expert on endlinks but some with slightly smaller 'hoods' might allow the springbar to line up with the lug holes then, I reckon you're in business. Hope this helps.

Nice watch. Gig'Em, Class of '99 And don't let droptop get to you, he thinks the 12th man is a seahawk or something.....

Email the TD. Send clear photos and detailed explanation of the problem. You'l likely be offered a small credit to have it repaired yourself, or send it back. There is risk in sending it back. If you do, be sure you follow instructions to the letter and send it via a priority method that allows for tracking. I just sent a bad watch back to Andrew from the USA, using International Priority mail. He received it in 10 days, repaired it in 6 weeks and I received it back in perfect working order, just today. It'll take patience on your part if you send it back. If you can locate a watchsmith to look at it for you, it will probably be an easy fix.

Nice watch! Old school:) and old school flaws: CG and CG pinnion is bad, cannon pinnion is bad, short fat lugs(maybe I am wrong about that,cant see from pic`s),etc...all these old school stuff flaws;) There where days when such watch was "best version" availabel, and was needed to re done all:), not like today, where lot of reps are quite good from factory Same " old school ", my 040:
