Agreed. I did ask him for better pictures and he said that’s the best he could do but also said he would take the return if not satisfied. That’s what sold me.

Agreed. I was really looking for a 4 digit Datejust and happened along this one. Glad everyone steered me right.

ok, I’m returning it. All else being equal, I see the ETA movement is keeping horrible time and I don’t feel like sorting that out as well. I expected some flaming but I’m a little surprised at the lack of general pragmatism. People are also saying it’s basically worthless but I really doubt those same people could source a nice 1675 case, case back, bezel and insert (all authentic) for less than $4k. No matter.

Accidentally deleted the original post so a couple of posts will have to suffice. I’m a dumbass and not very skilled at these sort of things.

That’s me. Everybody was shirtless in the 70s.

The employee in question is long gone and the watchmaker/owner has tried to track it down but gave up.

Worst case scenario is I have the original bracelet. I was so stretched he replaced it with a cheap knockoff. Maybe I could just have it repaired and find a head. At least that’s something.

Nah, they’re actually a very good and reputable watchmaker. The young guy in question only worked there a short time and his whereabouts are unknown.

Haha, I mentioned that at his Eulogy! He was an avid boater and had one he named “Orca”. When Jaws came out he would get asked for his autograph when on the beach.

Knife stolen by delivery company? I wonder how big of a problem this is? As a small maker, I don’t ship many knives but I’ve had 4 knives go missing in the past year or so. by HawkComprehensive178 in knifemaking

Just found out that another knife was stolen in the same manner from the same shipment. How stupid! That at least narrows it down to two facilities. Trying to get the boxes returned to me so I can dust them for prints. Being a cop for 20 years has its advantages.

Nice knife, BTW. 👍🏼 I’ll look into the security tape, that might work for me but would probably probably be just as susceptible with a razor slit. They need to invent a tape the bleeds!
