    Brendan however? God no never again. Overpriced and incompetent and worst of all rude beyond belief.

    To be honest I've found the opposite. What work did you have done?
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    OOK - I’ve never understood why you seem to think always stepping in to defend Brendan on these types of thread helps him. It really doesn’t. All it does is keep the thread at the top of the pile and for someone like Brendan who is the watchmaking version of “marmite” on TZ-UK, that certainly isn’t a good thing.

    This thread has been wholly factual as far as I can see, with no one piling in. He’s had plenty of positive feedback from multiple members (including you) alongside a much lower number of us who haven’t had the best of experiences. The OP has the range of feedback he is after and job done.

    Just my view.

    I’m not defending anyone, just relating my experience. And was interested in what led to thinking he was incompetent, as it wasn’t the impression I got. I dare say all watchmakers make mistakes though.

    OOK, you pop up like Candyman when someone badmouths Bedsit Brendan. You can’t help yourself. He must be a good ride.
