    I wanted to offer my gratitude to @ndgal in helping source a Speedmaster part for my moon watch. After sending a handful of inquiries to a few OF members, I reached out to @ndgal for his assistance and expertise. Not only was he able to respond to my initial inquiry, he offered to ship the part across the country to my door step at no charge. Yep, not even shipping cost reimbursement was accepted. Shortly after our conversation, I received USPS tracking info with the part arriving safely yesterday.

    It’s not often you find total strangers let alone dealers willing to help an enthusiast when there is ‘nothing in it for them’. I found this extremely refreshing, not because I received a part for free, rather it reinforces the good in people all around us. I’m sure there are instances where we have all helped out one another, but not enough can be said about how gratifying it is when you’re on the receiving end which makes this hobby even more enjoyable.

    Since he wouldn’t accept any form of payment, this endorsement hopefully serves as a partial payment for his kindness.


    Best,
    -A

    That's pretty cool. @bigsom did the same thing for me and a couple of other cool folks on OF ... Most of the folk in this forum are pretty incredible.

    I always assumed @ndgal must be a lady from North Dakota. Oh well, that’s one less lady on OF but, clearly, one more gentleman in the community.
