Anybody deal with Newport Watch Club recently??

[kip595]

I know Dara and his shop had a really solid reputation but after being a bit away from the hobby for a year, year and a half, I've noticed I've heard nothing about them and seen nothing.

A friend recently asked me to try and find a piece dating to a very specific date, and NWC's site - which I hadn't realized was still up - seems to have an example in - but I also haven't been able to get in touch with anyone at the shop via email or messages.

I know they stopped dealing on this site some years ago; was there a specific why for that, does anyone know? And has anyone dealt with them recently? All still good?

And if so...what the heck is the best way to reach someone at the shop...? :/
