It’s always important to “buy the seller” and I looked into @mr.kaplan before contacting him about a watch I was interested in buying. In my transaction with mr.kaplan, the purveyor of patina, he lived up to the excellent reputation he has earned. He accurately described the watch; was quick in answering my questions; had very good communication with me; tracked and reached out during each step of the transaction and international shipping. The watch and full kit arrived exactly as described and that was seen in the many, many pictures he sent me.

I highly recommend mr.kaplan if you want a smooth transaction of one of his top quality watches. I will have no hesitation in buying from him again.
