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? |
I will post some after photos of the bracelet. I also had another bracelet restored for another Sub I own. He was pretty good, the turn around was six weeks, but I would be skeptical if it was returned sooner. At least I know he is thorough. He found all those cracked links that I was completely unaware of.
I guess my only gripe is the cost after the quote. Replacement end pieces to links cost $100USD each and thats it, you have to pay it if you want your bracelet back. So for two bracelets and the case back I ended up paying $500 more than I was quoted initially.
