This might be looong.(lol) Just about three years ago. I sold my blue K-3-Submarine Vostok to a friend of mine at work. He's not into watches. He was looking for somthing nice and H2O proof. (he fishes) I gave it to him for $70.00. At the time I only wore it a couple times-(brand new cond.)He thought that was ALOT of $$. Well a year goes by, and he brings me the watch and say's its broken. The threads were stripped-so it was not water proofed anymore. I didn't have to do anything. But I felt a little bad, so I took it back and e-mailed Tom. He took it back! And gave me a NEW one in its place. But it was black not blue. Well this friend didn't want the black he wanted his blue back. So I e-mailed Tom again, I sent the black back and recieved the blue all polished and fixed.(Tom did not have to do any of this for me, But he did!-THANKS TOM) I gave the watch back to my friend. Now another year goes by and he approaches me again! WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I tell him I'll try to get it fixed, but its been over two years!! I take the watch which is all beat up, I Don't dare bother Tom about this now. I just hold it and tell my friend it doesn't look good. About three months go by, I feel bad. So what do I do, I'll tell you-I buy a Croton pepsi diver from the bay new for $45.00 And gave it to him today. What does he say?=Its lighter then my other, and it doesn't fit!!!! At this point I washed my hands from this. I believe I did more then what I should of. I will not sell anything to anyone I personnely know. But now Im stuck with my old vostok battered up and the winder stripped. What should I do with it? Attempt to find someone to fix it? Maybe have it customized? Or just sell it as is on the bay or wus? Thanks for letting me VENT..
