I agree, to think I did get great service the times I did deal with Eddie but some of the stories I have heard from people here has changed my mind about him.

Now Bill I had a hell of time of time just trying to get Seiko mod parts from him and also some parts for my Marcello C watches when he was making parts for them also. :angryfire:

I chatted with this seller and asked about the origin his Marinemaster, papers etc...He immediately offered it for $350, but didn't answer my other questions. I want one of these but...I think I'll wait...12 posts...hmm... :rolleyes:

Nope, the one with non full red dial and non laser etched crown are real. Check also how the triangle on the bezel looks.
