I've had a couple of not-so-great experiences with that seller.

I've bought a couple from him....most experiences were "ok"....I don't think he's a crook but whoever he has working on his watches getting them ready for his auctions is a hack IMO.
Bought my 7548 from knowing it would need some attention....Spencer fixed it up for me....needed a new crown and the chapter ring was askew.

Tim,
Are you looking to buy a J-model 7S26-0020, or just any old 7S26-0020? If the latter, you can probably get one new for not too much more money than that one sold for.
Best wishes,
Myles

Watch is a 1998...that makes it 16 years old. Who knows what kind of shape it is in on the inside. Serviced? I doubt it.
Actually, it's the caseback that is from 1998. It is marked "Japan", so it should be off of an SKX007J. But it does not have a "21 Jewels" dial, it has a standard SKX007K dial. So it was probably pieced together from a couple of watches. I wonder if the movement is marked "JAPAN"?
IMHO, it's a mutt. "All original and untouched" my ass!
I bought a watch from that guy many moons ago. IIRC, it was a somewhat rare Japan-marked 6309-7290 (17 Jewel MADE IN JAPAN dial, JAPAN caseback).
I don't remember why anymore, but I sent it back. It's very rare I send anything back. He was cool about the return, but I don't buy from that fellow anymore.

That's one of those watches that I would run from.

I've bought from him and he bought a few from me too. He's an asshole in my book. Never leaves feedback as a buyer. Stupid face.  |

Fake dial, and I don't trust the seller generally.

SEIKO font is wrong, and I've never seen a 007 dial water resist text faded to banana yellow either. As Pete has pointed out, the handset is wrong too. It looks like one of the A/M flat sets coming out of the Philippines currently. I like them actually, but they're not right for a 007. |

The guy's not on my "Buy-from-list" in fact he's on my "S**t-box" list. He has the watch I want @ the moment (6309-7290), at a price inside my budget, I only want it as a donor but I still went elsewhere..............and brought a completely different watch that's gona be a keeper not a donor, but that's for another tread, lol!!

I am gong to assist him in filing for a return, I just can't let him keep it. I knew it was suspect, but wanted the opinions of those, who are more knowledgeable that I.

Bought my 7548 from knowing it would need some attention....Spencer fixed it up for me....needed a new crown and the chapter ring was askew. One I bought, the second and the last one I bought from him, was a 7002-7020. There was a problem with the "just-serviced" movement. I returned it to be repaired. After a long delay, almost long enough to lose any recourse through ebay or PayPal, I finally got it back. I subsequently sent it to Spencer for a little mod work. He had to do a complete service on the bodged-up movement. It runs well, now. As I said, never again. |
