Timber! I'm tempted to reply re attach using a hammer and a 6" nail! Still got to feel sorry for the guy it was likely his pride and joy. A bit like that crap folk buy from Beejoo4 or as I like to call him beejooped here in the UK. It makes a small fortune and is totally lashed up out of aftermarket crap. I have a nice T dial I am about to stuff on fleabuy and I bet it makes half what his crap makes even though mines the real deal. It's magpie syndrome. Folk see some thing nice and shiny and are instantly attracted.... hmmm next time I go out on the 'pull' I am going to paint my knackers with silver glitter and see if I attract any women. I brought a SKX0030 off his way back
Luckily Cannop rebuilt it into a Mil-Sub for me

For what's it's worth, I think Loy is a talented guy who sometimes (often) has QC slips. Either that, or he has someone working for him and Loy doesn't check his work before he ships. I mean, you have to give the guy some credit for being able to modify a 6309 so it runs in reverse. He also seems to be decent at refinishing. Not really my thing, but some folks like vintage watches to look like new. I'm not at all a fan of selling reproduction dials with "SEIKO" printed on them, or designing new dials with "SEIKO" emblazoned on them. Myles I have had two Loy watches come through this summer for checking. Both had actually rather well-done case refinishing jobs. Both cases were unpitted. Both movements looked surprisingly nice. One ran actually beautifully. The other barely ran at all. That's my small sample of direct exposure to Loy's work.

yep that's the bastard. He goes by about 2 or 3 names in total. Gets £550 for lash up 0030's. It's all down to the photos. Think you'll find a couple of folk on here have brought from him possibly including mr flagpolecrabtree. I nearly brought from him before I knew what to look for. Same in the clock game. The guys who do the fakes and marriages are the guys making the big money. The guys who hunt and find the real mccoy's are the guys who struggle to make a living. That's "LORD" , not MR, you common Oik. :rofl: Sorry ma Lord I thought that looked too short. I beg your forgiveness!
