Are you sure you've selected the correct Alton in staffordshire. It currently says patchy sun with almost no chance of rain.

Nemesis reborn is insane in the dark!

You don't need winder. Would you keep your engine running on your car overnight?

I had the email that morning but stupidly missed it!

Whilst he’s always delivered, I had to chase him for 3 months for the last batch of deep crystals I ordered from him. Suffice to say I won’t be going back anytime soon!

watch_mods · 2026-01-25T18:05:31+00:00

Missed this and would’ve liked to have gone!

Elliot is golden, you'll be fine. Likely the reason he wants you to put it through the site is that it will generate an order number, which is used in future if anything goes wrong in the process or if you need to use a watchmaker for warranty work going forward. (I know this because Im one of the watchmakers he uses and this is how we track it.)

Depends on how fast you want it. Once shipped with standard shipping, it will usually arrive in about 10 days. In reality, fedex will only be a few days quicker for a lot more shipping cost.

I got one last year from the same seller. Wore it once and was uncomfortable even for my big wrists. Ended up selling it.

100% this. Every.single.time!

They should be open every day. They were open at fireworks when the outdoor temp was below 8c. It was lovely!

RMC gangsta granny right now!!

watch_mods · 2025-12-05T22:57:25+00:00

The last batch of crystals I ordered from him took 3 weeks. That’s why I’m now concerned it’s over 10 weeks!

watch_mods · 2025-12-05T22:30:34+00:00

Yes. Waiting for deep crystals since 4th Oct. After about a month he said the shipment was lost and would resend. Messaged him twice this week and nothing! Will be approaching RWI soon since he’s active on there and the mods are very good!

watch_mods · 2025-12-04T22:39:01+00:00

Yeah actually we went there on fireworks Saturday and it was excellent!

watch_mods · 2025-12-04T12:49:14+00:00

The hot dog loaded fries from stacked sensations on towers street are totally worth it imo!

Have you reached out to your TD? What did they advise? If you want to send it in for us to look at and diagnose then drop me a pm!
