As far as the case back engraving goes, I never remove case back engravings. That is part of the watch's history that is worth saving for me.


Agree, I wouldn’t use his services again.

I took my 16710 to him to get the lugs rebuilt.

I got a quote from him for 580 USD and it would take approx 3-4 weeks but when I took my watch to him this changed to approximately 1250 USD and around 6 months. They said it would look brand new so I thought ok. I asked if they could post the watch back to me and they said they could FedEx it me.

I got an email 6 weeks later saying my watch was ready so I asked if they could post it back to me. Then they tell me they can send it via the post but only insured up to $6000 or FedEx it with no insurance which should have been explained to me when I dropped the watch off.

I still can’t understand how they don’t have proper insurance in place. I ended up having to arrange my own insurance though Inforsure.

I finally got my watch back and there is still a slight curve on the inner part of the lugs which should have been fully built up.

Yes the watch looks a lot better than it did but when I’m told it will look like it just left the factory then that’s what I expect.





Has anyone used MY, Rolliworks and LAWW? And who delivered the rest results?
