Re: S I C / Sharing Is Caring for Japanese Watches
Just some info on this Bellmatic. I have purchased it before from Miki, and had to return to him (he was nice to give me a full refund). There was no "foul-play", just that he is not a Belle expert.Two important points to note (one of which Miki stated in his sale post) - the crown is smaller, and the case "collar" has been sawn/worn off to accommodate the smaller crown. One of the wheels (can't remember day or date) has a broken tooth. Ah Goh has also seen and opened this piece and is unable to resolve the above two issues. You cannot resolve the first issue short of getting a new case. Replacing the wheel is possible but will take time and additional money.
Nonetheless, the watch is truly beautiful, and works (less that one day or date which you have to advance the time to switch, and is obviously physically impossible to be water-resistant). And I'd just like to say that Miki (Ryuden) is a legit seller and I have dealt with him very successfully and happily many times.
