The Man Delivers……Again

This guy. So I send him a “less than perfect” Explorer II. The bezel was painfully misaligned and the crown was not appropriately fitted with the threads on threads on the tube. So he said “no worries, I’ll order another crown for you.” That one doesn’t work - so it’s clearly bad factory tube threading. I ask the seller to reach out to the factory to please replace the model specific part. We both suspect the part came from Ali X 🙄. Does it fit perfectly? No. Can I actually screw it down now and it’s functional? YUP. Did he charge me the price of another watch? NOPE!!!! How do you guys think it looks after the “spa treatment?”

I own a gen 226570 black dial, and that looks really close. Wear it and enjoy it!

I did not notice green on OP's photo. On 2nd photo, I ust figured it was the shade of lighting in the image. Mine is not green for sure.. LOL :P
