Greetings Nick - This very nice Zenith Lady's watch arrived today by mail. It is every bit as nice as you said it was, if not more. It will be a very nice gift for my wife on the appropriate occasion. Thanx for the good communication and quick shipping. I'll be watching your future listings. Best Regards:
R. Henderson, MO. USA.
Dear Mr. Hacko,On June 14, 2000, I received a Rolex stainless perpetual date watch from your
company. I'm writing to inform you how very happy I am with both the watch and
the service I received from your company. I received the watch in a timely
fashion, even though we are far apart. The watch was in excellent condition and
was just as described by you. You also treated me in a very courteous and
professional manner, regarding the questions I had after the sale. I am very
pleased with both this watch and the company I chose to purchase it from. I
highly recommend your company. To anyone looking for a watch, the Hacko
Watchmaker Company delivers a product as advertised at a very fair price with
outstanding customer service.
Sincerely, Ralph Williams Jacksonville, Florida U.S.A.
Dear Sir On the 29th March 1999 I bought into your shop a very treasured pocket watch,
which was owned by my grandfather. Prior to this I had been told it was
worthless, you looked at it, said it was made in 1881, offered to take it to
pieces to find the fault, also said no charge if you could not fix it,
A$150-$200
if you could. My husband and I were very impressed with your attitude,
politeness and honesty. These three qualities are so hard to find in folk
today, least of all in business. After getting your phonecall to say it was
ready, we come to collect it. The dull, old looking watch we had left in your
care was now a bright, shiny treasure with a clear new glass, new minute hand,
all parts checked and working, also keeping good time.
Thanks to yourself, your care and genuine belief in the time-piece, we now have
something old, workable and treasured to give our grandson.
Thank you sincerely for so much,
your grateful customers Mr. and Mrs. R W Hollands, Greystanes, NSW
North Parramatta
May 8, 1999 I have a 50 year old pocket watch which I bought new when I went work on the
railroad in Canada.
There are very few people who could and whom I would trust to repair it. Mr.
Hacko is one of them. He has, on several occasions manufactured the tiniest of
parts which had failed over the 50 years of constant use and as result I still
use it today.
In addition Mr. Hacko rebuilt a hundred year old mantel clock which we were
able to give to our son as a wedding present.

Hi Nick!
Just got the watch today (although they did try to deliver it yesterday).
It is absolutely gorgeous and running beautifully. I am SO thrilled. It
fits great...(I have a small wrist, so it's fashionably loose)...and I just
couldn't be happier!
Thank you so much. I can't tell you how much I love the watch and how much
I appreciate all the trouble you took to get it to me. Bry Curry
