What was the deal on the Candino?
If you don't mind my asking...
Mark the Candino which is a great watch company and I would recommend them. They do work for other brands and will do limited production pieces, custom, and etc.. The watch was presented as being like new with some minor scuffs. The bezel looks like it had been beat off of rocks or hit with a hammer that had a serrated face. The bracelet was about 50% of the original finish left and that is being nice. The bracelet was missing some friction collars for the pins, and my wrist is larger than his but I got it to work. The watch that was shown in the pics was after it had been refinished, took 2 hours and that is using commercial buffers and 12 inch diamond grinding wheels. It is still not up to my standards. If I would have pulled a stunt like that I would have been kicked off the forum. I learned than that James had very little experience or carring for watches. In hind site I should have said something but I would have been the lone ranger and I have been there and done that. I can pick almost all production pieces apart, most people do not look at a watch with such a critical eye. It tends to be an emotional experience and you can not reason with emotion.
