My PAM Box:

We have lots of good watchsmiths listed here, both CONUS and overseas. MyManMatt and Misiekped are the ones I've been using for the last few years, which isn't to say the other guys aren't just as good. But I can speak from personal experience that both of my guys are absolutely exemplary. Their work is beyond reproach, and they keep me well informed as the job progresses. I have quite a few genuine vintage pieces and I'd send them to either of these good men before I'd send them to Rolex S.A. Think about that for a minute. I trust them more than I trust Rolex itself. When we list a modder / watchsmith here on RWG and give them a subforum to represent their work, it is no small thing. We hold them to the highest standards, and that is reviewed constantly. They "speak for us" when we endorse them. That's not to be taken lightly. If there's a modder on our site with his own subforum, you can trust him/her to treat you right and do a complete and professional job. I consider us lucky that a few of these guys have agreed to take up shop here. Use them judiciously. Them being here is no oversight or lucky accident. We approached them and asked if they're interested in being here. When they agreed we had a small celebration in the Admin / Mods area, and yes, the damn Moderators drank all the scotch in the cabinets AGAIN. Ah well, it's a small price to pay for the hard work they do, and the watchsmiths we're able to snag, to benefit our members. Next rounds are on me, boys.

Always check the “E”s. Look how long the middle leg is and is it centered between the top and bottom legs... usually it’s not supposed to be. Usually.

The "O" in ROLEX is not level with the other letters.

Nope, that dial is crap. Compare with mine from 1962, note mine is the "radial" dial. I think the case is wrong too. Compare with mine at top right: My advice? Run away from it.
