Hi
Timeman is someone I never have trusted for these reasons:
-what he said to be good condition isn't: often poor lume, average condition dials, poor condition movements, poor precision and often franken watches
-he doesn't offer a warranty on his watches and there is no customer service existing with him
-none of his watches are serviced and none of them are in a perfect condition
-his prices are high but what he sells doesn't even desserve the third of the price due to the the poor condition of the items
-he is not a watchmaker with 15 years of experience. He is just a watch collector who pass himself for a so called professional and who works with other people but we don't even know if they are qualified watchmakers with many years experience.
-ebay feedback can be misleading and that andy remembers me three of not very good reputated vintage watch retailers in France: Rea, Contretemps and Temps et Collection.They are like him, they are middlemen who work with a watchmaker but they aren't watchmakers and truely knowledgeable about brands and movements.Tough the vintage watch retailers I am talking about are offering a warranty, their items are often poor condition, poor timekeeping and not perfect conditions.
-You want to buy something stunning and warrantied I have another adress: http://www.joseph-watches.com. More expensive but all items are perfectly nos condition and 6 months of warranty.That is not the case of ebay and Timeman who I put in the amateur category than in the true professional category but that is my opinion.
