As you remember I bought that nice square Bulova with ETA on board, bought for it a nice fine mesh bracelet and found out it ran way to fast. About a week and a half ago, I brought it to my (retired) watchmaker and he came with disturbing news...The "balance shock system"(?) is glued, and he saw several other damaged parts. He reckons a total overhaul and repair will take at least € 200, while this watch already costs a bit more than that. I looked the guy up on eBay and I hit my head that I didn't check the BAD reviews on beforehand ![](https://watchmandan.com/wfwf/100O.png) On a happy note, we received a new mattress and that feels gorgeous!

That sucks, Johan! Sorry! Sh*t happens, Dan, hopefully I can sell it to a repairman who makes it a nice working watch again. ![](https://watchmandan.com/wfwf/wink.gif)
