When I confirmed if the complete Crown, stem, and tube were being shipped she had no clue. After 3-4 days and a second e-mail, Lea said no because all i asked for was the crown tube. As we discussed these usually all come together. She was to check with Switzerland as to when they could get one. Hadn't heard form her in 4-5 days to give me an idea of the time frame. 2-3 e-mails later, I still haven't heard.

As far as Glycine..at least they told you up front. As far as having that attitude regarding where I got the watch, a little CS might make me buy more of there product.....with there attitude, hell will freeze over first.
