Welcome Rikki the new TechXpert :)

I have the pleasure to announce that Rikki is now a TechXpert.

Rik is located in Florida and has 30 years watchmaking experience. Rik operates his own watchmaking business.

Rik is a really nice guy so I'm sure everyone will be as happy as me to be able to have Rik's expertise here, adding to the already immense technical talents we have on the forum.

Rock on guys

I just want to ad that Rikki is the only one who was able to assert my problem with my quarter century club Rolex, 1949 which is really valuable and rare on top so welcome and hope we can meet soon because I am in the same area,

Oliver

Dentists are good, especially when you don't need to have them do work on you Kind of like us lawyers.

Icon14 I contacted Rik early last month...

...and after speaking a 'lil bit that day, sent him one of my pieces.
"He said what he'd do", and "did what he said".
I'm very pleased, and said so in the "Who's Who" section last month.

Real nice to have another,tho ROLEX recognized & qualified, member on TRF.

We'll do business again. Best Regards "to you "TECHNO Rik!
