Had the pleasure of meeting John in person as we both live in San Diego. As it was our first time doing business and for both our security we met a John's watchmakers downtown San Diego. John is a super nice guy with excellent communication and extremely knowledgeable in regards to all watches. I purchased a very nice vintage Speedmaster from John at a fair price. I am happy I got to meet John and his watchmaker in addition to making new contacts in the watch world. I would have no hesitation doing business with John and can honestly say he is a true gentleman and a pleasure to deal with.
