My watchmaker has had a vintage Super Squale I sent in for a dial and hands relume about that same length of time. Driving me nuts.

Yes but we do not do lume work. We will do the hands if we have to but matching them sucks. One thing about vintage is parts. Collecting parts to fix watches does take some time.Steve O. wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 11:24 amAm going to.

Last he told me he is at 2 years. Seems like people are getting disinterested in their watches after he has them so long that some people do not want to pay.sierra11b wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 3:11 pmKlein has been backlogged for awhile. I reached out to him years ago and he told me I could wait, but was still nice enough to answer some questions regarding my 6139, and which parts to secure on eBay, after I declined the wait period.
I ended-up using another maker out of SoCal for two 6139s when Terry was just getting started in the strap world, but have sent him an early ceramic golden tuna for work which turned out great.
After 2 years a person’s taste in watches could easily change. I can easily imagine the “wtf what I thinking” moment when the x-hundred dollars bill comes due, although I’d cough up the dough because that’s the right thing to do.... I assume he charges part up front.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 4:37 pmLast he told me he is at 2 years.

Why would you sell the pogue because of this? Other people can service it also.HapaHapa wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 5:39 pmAfter 2 years a person’s taste in watches could easily change.

This is making me consider putting the pogue out on the sales block.

I wouldn't sell it because of the wait. More so because I'm less attracted to it now than when I bought it. It's the blue/black version, so I guess not a true Pogue.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Sat May 18, 2019 8:40 pmWhy would you sell the pogue because of this?
