Bob is a master watchmaker in Arlington Texas. He's done some superb work on watches for members here and elsewhere in the vintage watch collecting community.

He's currently doing a complete restoration on a 1908 Wilsdorf & Davis (pre-Rolex) for me.

I second the opinion about UPS - they are the last shipping service I would use for a watch. Also, they are terrible about paying on insurance claims. USPS (US Postal Service) is the best way to ship stateside - use the registered, insured shipping service. It is a little slow, but very secure.

dont worry everything will be fine

Completely agree.

But I know many people wants the watch they bought today to arrive yesterday

so express shipping is preferred by many.
The big down side of USPS is its tracking system which deserves
