I almost bought one of these a few times but luckily some people I knew who already owned one warned me that it was turd. Great idea but rough production. Turd is a bit harsh for the price compared to the real thing it is a great watch You are right turd is a little harsh and do like dealing with Harold so I hate to not like one of his products so I was really disappointed when I was told how rough it was. My bad.

For all the great things we all say about this guy Harold, I find him a louse.
The one time I bought from him he never shipped, which by itself is no big deal (mistakes happen), but he kept blowing me off. My multiple requests for a tracking number were always met with some lame a$$ template reply "it takes a while from Hong Kong" or such, finally took the time to check and realized 3 months later he'd F**d up and never did ship, sent me an email without the word "sorry" in it and didn't spring for expedited shipping so it still took many weeks after that. You get the picture.
So I wouldn't buy again from "Yobokies" if he was the last watch guy on the internet.
But I will but his products second hand right here or on fleabay 'cuz they're cool.

? That's the polar opposite of my experiences with him and I have had many but everyone cocks up some time.

I've bought from Harold many times and always had great service. Never had a problem with any of his products, except for a set of Albacore hands - the second hand lost it's tiny mounting tube. The two sections are just an interference fit as far as I could see, unlike a genuine Seiko second hand where some sort of riveting or fusing process is used I think.

Ever since these were announced I've wanted the dial. I was told back Then that they'd never be available separately though.
