The clock itself makes a good impression and looks beautiful. This and tying seems to be very stable.
However, we have found no watch retailer in Berlin and Potsdam, who wanted to cut us the tie rod to the correct size / could.
The final watch dealer (Christ in Hallen am Borsigturm) has told us also that the tension belt used was extremely costly to cut and would hit at least 15 cuts costs to beech. No matter that this dealer has denied the shortening, the high cut costs out of proportion to the price of the clock.
Meanwhile, we have acquired a Mike Ellis clock with traditional metal band, here we were able to perform the trimming by means of spring bar tool itself. Shortening the merchants had even tasted here 5-7.
Amazon has - as usual - the clock withdrawn anstandlos, unfortunately we had to pay the shipping cost but. A fact of which we are a bit annoying, because I see the dealer here in the duty to inform the buyer of such possible complications.
