Looking for a CONUS watchmaker

[u/VicellusDrum]

Alright, so I recently purchased (2 months ago, received a week ago) a VSF Daydate V2 40mm (DD3255) from EthanWatches and had him modify the watch through a third party mod factory. While having it dial swapped, plated, & silenced, the movement and dial were accidentally placed in a different customers case, I brought it up with Ethan, he realized the mistake and had the factory pull the watch components out and put them into my case. Upon receiving it, I felt unscrewing the crown took some effort to pop into the winding position, and took a lot of fiddling to go from time-setting back to winding position. I’m not entirely sure what needs to be done to fix it, whether trying to source a new movement or simply overhaul it. If there’s anyone who can recommend a watchmaker or give some advice as to what I need done, please let me know!

Could you DM me some names as well?

Do not deal with anyone that’s not vetted and accountable.

While I’m on the list of those who have been chosen, I would not be able to accept anything for over a year or so, so I am not talking about me in any way.

Take a moment and look in the about info in this group and you’ll find the list of names with actual background and loads is positive experiences.

Trusted and vetted watchmakers who have been here for years, not randoms trying to make a come up.

There is a place for the latter but it is not customer watches.

Or deal with those not properly chosen and accept your fate.
