Struck a deal on a relisted watch I was after... what can I say, I am a sucker for Engine Turned bezels.

Incoming and outgoing!

Received this MK1 from Ashford yesterday and I was weirdly grossed out by whatever is that on the dial. Piece of thread? Grass? Shredded paper? God knows what and along with dust particles or lint under the glass.

Image

It is literally standing tall and proud on the dial face.

I contacted them immediately via email and within less than 24 hours. I received a response back and return label to ship it back. I can vouch for their good customer service and quick communication at least for this one time issue.

I think the lume from the handset somehow exploded inside the case. So weird!
