I haven't posted here in several years but read the new messages daily. I have read many posts over the years concerning individuals who send their timepieces to Bruce Wegman for repair and have to fight tooth and nail to get them back. He obviously ignores posts when they start asking about the return of their property in six months to year after he has had them for repair. That alone sure tells you a lot about his repair skills. Individuals should, and have every right to file a theft report with their local police agency if possible. I feel you must be aggressive with people like Bruce, problems or not. On the subject of being aggressive, I know first hand that Bruce is aggressive when it comes to him being on the other end of the stick. I once sold him a Frontier watch module which I had listed on E-bay. He received the module the day after I shipped it, as we live only 85 miles apart. I received a message via E-Bay stating the module I had shipped did not work. He requested I call him to discuss the situation. Every module I have ever sold had been checked for proper functioning numerous times prior to shipping and right before shipping, so I was very puzzled as to what the problem could be. I immediately called him but had to wait for his return call. When he did call, first thing he stated was the module I shipped him was bad. We discussed how he had tested the module and his answer seemed reasonable. I then suggested a simple method of testing which only involved the module its self to eliminate any problems with the case. He complied with my request and stated the module did not work. I then ask him if he could use a new set of batteries which he did. I wish I had been there to see the look on his face, he must have been very embarrassed when the module worked as advertised. Again, this should be a good indication of his skills. I'm sure Bruce will reply to this post and claim it never happened but I can assure all that it did take place as I've described.
