I enquired about a similar watch this seller had. He couldn't give me the serial number - he didn't know how to take the (leather) strap off, and 'his watchmaker' wasn't around for a few days... Went quite after that...

I passed.

The watch is probably genuine but the dial has been redone.

Oh, don't get me wrong - if he'd come back to me with an answer I may well have gone for it. Descriptions seem very honest - some state refinished dial, replacement crystal etc.

My comment was really meant as a criticism of his professionalism / service...

Something somewhere gave me the impression that they were based in India, but with an office in London. Can't find what it was now though...

Did you go for it?
