I met Vanessa today...
And I MUST tell the forum what an extremely charming and knowledgable person she is. She took time out of her busy day to show me all the pieces of a 3035 movement she was working on and explain in detail each part while she regulated my Air King for me, even though I purchased it here on TRF instead of from her AD. Being a TRF member apparently has it's advantages.
This young lady is an extremely valuable asset to our forum and I felt the need to tell all my TRF friends about my first hand experience with her. She is MY watchmaker from now on. She is very straight forward, VERY knowledgeable and will tell you exacly how things are. About all I can say about the experience is that I am completely overwhelmed by her hospitality (and her AD's). I was treated like family, even though we had never met before. Being part of the TRF "family" certainly has it's advantages. Vanessa...you are a true treasure and I am in your debt. I hope to be able to return the favor some day. Warren |

Thanks for the update, Warren. We've known Vanessa a while now and would certainly agree with you in all that you've said.
Please pass on my best wishes to her the next time you meet her. JJ

Not surprised because Vanessa is a star, but sounds like you were given some extra special treatment.

Wow, didn't see this one coming!
Thank you Warren! You know, I must say that I tend to treat people the same way they treat me, so it's only because you were so pleasant that I acted the way I did. Let me know how your Airking times out... I'm curious to see if it will be -1 or spot on!? It was my pleasure meeting you Warren!

Well lets respect people's privacy a little.
Before any photographs or personal details (eg where she works) are given, it is only proper that one MUST first ask Vanessa for her express permission to do so. Remember, Vanessa is a professional watchmaker and she has responsibilities to her employer and Rolex, and she might also enjoy a degree of privacy. Thank you for respecting

I better visit Vanessa if I'm ever in AZ. I'll probably just waste her time though.
