Don´t worry my friend,
Joe will be back again, fully recharged.
Time ago, I had the pleasure to talk with him by the phone and he commented me what was going on.
It´s also my fault to not send him the left pieces at the time he asked me, but now the pieces are on the way.
His illness plus my delay has delayed this thing a lot. I don´t blame him you know, things like this happens, and after all I think we are lucky in many ways, because Joe is one of the very few who performs mods and knows his subject.
Hope he can fix the watch when he´ll be back.
