Good news!!!!! Got an email last night from Mike.
Dear Robert,
Your band is ready. For your information, three of the screws in your band are a bit worn out. Replacing these screws will reduce the wobbliness of the connecting links. The screw replacement cost is USD10 each and original will be returned.
The price of the restoration is USD180 + USD150, screws is USD30 and return postage via FedEx (not insured) is USD33, total USD393. We will declare "used watch parts valued USD20" and it normally takes 3 to 5 business days.
Please send payment via paypal to:
myoung@mbtechdesigns.com. Also, kindly confirm the postal address and telephone number for the courier.
I sent it to him with a nice tip and also paid the fees for paypal. He nexted dated it fedex for me so I should have it tomorrow. Will post pics as soon as I get it. Very excited.
Robert
