This is a very serious allegation. Do you have proof? If so, I don't think he should be a Trusted Non-Repairer any longer.

Don't know where in the USA you are located so this is just a general response for any location.  Visit some local watchmakers and just strike up a conversation.  Get the feel of what you think their reaction would be to working on a rep.  Lots of them don't really mind.  It is worth the time investment, there will be other occasions where you may need help and having a working friendship with a local watchmaker can be a great asset! 

It worked for me!

Out of interest, what watch are you looking to get repaired?

You're absolutely right about that. Guess I was reluctant due to the Rep nature.

yes, I do have proof, I have a copy of the email, I will say, however, I have used him and things went fine. Did a good job (I suppose) course how the hell do I know?.

                    you do get a fast, brief, unfriendly response to your emails.

No he makes it very, very clear what he will and will not repair.  He does very well, at what he does.   And he is good enough to know what he can do.  Read the reviews.

No one could possibly tell you anything as you have given no information about what it is you wish to do.  Crystal replace is really not a thing.  Its like saying I would like to date a girl.

I was replying to Narikaa. I was seeking proof of his Charlatanism.

Nevermind....

You  would be surprised!  My local guy does most of the work on high end luxury watches for all of the local Jewelry stores.  After we got to know each other better he shared with me some Pam builds that he did!
