dluddy Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Too many problems that were piling up so we asked them to take a break until they got caught/cleaned up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 ETz had been slightly prone to problems with customer service for a long time. When their most popular watch (the rolex DSSD v5) suddenly began shipping with a batch of crooked dials, all hell broke loose and the complaints poured down like rain. First the owner, Chris, vanished and then his workers at the store vanished one by one .. until no one answered emails anymore, or even shipped watches anymore. There are many people here with money sent to ETz and no watches to show for it. I firmly believe that Chris is a good person. He once sent me an ETA 2836 at his expense to replace a faulty one in my DSSD. His business simply grew out of his control by it's own popularity, and then the massive crooked dial issue pushed them over the edge and they dropped out of sight.

Noel Fleischer Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Chris also over hypped the site, going on and on about how great the QC was. In fact, it was really never anything special. He swore for ex; that he only had gen ETA's when in fact I'm pretty sure they were clones at times. He had a rapid rise and then all the complaints at the end finally did him in. Seems to have left some people holding the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I considered myself lucky to have done business with him during the early days. Fast shipment of my Ebel 1911, and Chris even sourced a replacement crown for me many months later when mine went bad. Shame that he ended up blowing up.

mene_menelaou Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 I paid $165 for a noobmariner that he never sent. After the sale he didn't answer any emails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony7777 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 I know this is really late to the party but is there another dealer that carries MBW parts? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Huh? I didn't think Chris ever carried MBW's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prdubis Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 Huh? I didn't think Chris ever carried MBW's. ETZ sold MBK watches and parts (DW, dials, cases,...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
