I personally have had a good experience but others have have not. The parts often do not fit or are wrong.
w.genzo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 In my experience parts I received from him were rubbish, I prefer Clark's store, his nick is nostalgia-2000
Jkay Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Yes, I bought ETA movements from him, so it was pretty difficult for them to get it wrong. Aftermarket parts are another matter.
alligoat Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Definitely a mixed bag, but I do like his 24-7030 case tubes for subs. But he is a crusty fart and not always easy to deal with. Takes stuff back, but doesn't refund s&h charges. Buyer beware!
red57 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Junk all junk! You would be better off using your cash as toilet paper .....
JoeyB Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 Stick with Clarks You'll be much happier if you do business with Gary Clark. He's a good man and a good friend as well. PM him through Ebay, tell him you are a member here. I got him set up as a 'Trusted Dealer' on RWG1.1, and I think he should be here as well. 1

I buy from Clarks when I can but he just doesn't have the wide range of stuff that WholesaleOutlet has. I have purchased many time from them and have not had one problem. I just received a set of 455B endlinks for 2mm springbars and while I had to trim just a little they work perfectly. I understand that his bezel assemblies do not fit all (supposedly) 1:1 cases.
highoeyazmuhudee Posted January 28, 2012 Report Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) FORGET IT! his parts dont fit, bought a few T19s the GEN bezel insert wouldnt even fit over the crystal, the crystal cracked during installation. his retaining rings are too large as well let moisture in under the crystal, his 703 tubes rip in half when you install them its like theyre made out of aluminum, his 703 wrench tool is a bloody joke since all that's counteracting your force as you screw down or unscrew a 703 tube is a little [censored] (really? they censored k n o b ?) of plastic which gets chewed away with the pressure. it broke around the second time i really used it. clarks is way better for crystals, yuki tubes im now convinced are a good alternative to gen.
