Hey guys just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Had a number of watches serviced all over London but just had this one back.
Before....

After.....

So impressed with it- it's like night and day, Craig kept me up to date on findings and expenses, and for the cost I'm extremely impressed with the customer service and final watch is just amazing- can't rate highly enough. Yes I know original pics aren't great and the others are, but think you can see the difference!

Excellent result. I have an 806 I would like to send to Craig as well. How do you manage the UK to USA shipping so there are no import/customs/duty issues or worries!

Best thing to do is email Craig, but if you put "repair/warranty" on the package it won't get taxed. I would Def recommend sending it to Craig as I've had a number of services here jn the UK and they range from v poor to adequate- Craigs' is exceptional.

Craig put a NOS period correct crown to replace the incorrect one. He sent the old one back to me with the service papers.
Here's the bike, Italian hand made Scapin Ivor- my two addictions cycling and watches!

Bravissimo! Can't beat Italian bikes/parts. I have a Pinarello and a Colnago both with campy Record. Safe riding! Sorry for the Hijack...I know there are a few other serious cyclists here. :cheer:
