  6. i have bought 3 vdb's. one of them is a new 3646 case. all were sold with "serviced movements". none of the movements had been serviced. all 3 of the movements died less than a week of receiving them. one of the cases was a stock DSN 6152-1 case (it even had the ugly lug engravings), but was sold as a reshaped case. his newest creations have many problems also. here are some pics of a "serviced Rolex 618": BTW pics are from the Zigmeister, who did an incredible job in restoring this movement. Movement After CLeaning Franken Rolex 618 (work done by Zigmeister) -movement disassembled - every screw was loose - movement very dirty - found dial side and keyless works rusted solid - all motion work gears rusted - hour wheel rusted to cannon pinion - movement soaked in penetrating oil overnight - cleaned - frozen gears carefully disassembled - all gears cleaned of rust and polished -movement was so dirty that it completely contaminated the cleaning fluids - fluids disregarded -over 3 hours required to clean and disassemble rusted parts -cannon pinion friction extremely low -hand and dial lume very poor quality - back of hands had big blobs and lumpy lume - could not install hands correctly - excess lume removed from back of hands - hands installed parallel and flush -crown spring is very weak - difficult to switch to winding from time setting In the end the Zigmeister saved the movement with his amazing skills so i'm very happy with my watch.
