rbj69

ok then keep reading your post and see guys like our famous The Zigmeister and Phoband and "Demsey" what all they have to say and shall i show your recent thread of yours here showing your collection and after two years of hating it why do u still have it proudly displayed in your collection? i know if i hated someone like u appear towards me , i sure wouldnt have a watch i touched still in your collection after a couple years when i to was learning and also getting better at this watch altering stuff

just curious ? why if u had a problem with me wouldnt u come to me about it? , other than write a thread praising me , if u knew me at all i would have made u happy as u acted u were back then (but i was never given a chance to fix your problems that i can recall and if so then why didnt u post back then your problems with me ? looking back u sure could do some posting ,like u do now, so i dont think u were too shy ,were u ?)

joe

Oredered my SD from Eddie and had shipped directly to Joe for Service and Mods.

Had the following done to the watch:

* CG's Mods

* Date Wheel Adjustment

* New Bezel Insert

* Polished & Oiled Bracelet

* Crystal Re-Set [Pressed] Properly

* Waterproofed with his New Toy

* Bezel Click Milled to Sound Smoother

* Bezel Spring Tightened

* Bezel Polished

* O Ring Greasing

I now have one AWESOME Sea Dweller wub.gif

Wish I could post pics, but my camera sucks thumbsdownsmileyanim.gif

A BIG Thanks to Joe.

Also, one other thing that you should know about Joe. The work he had quoted me and charged me for up front, came in $75.00 dollars less and I received a check from him along with my watch. He could of kept it and I would of never been the wiser.

I'm one Happy Camper!

SOME MORE FACTS FOR U ALL TO READ

JOE

Read it again Joe, Admin did not accuse you of doing anything wrong he simply stated the facts.

Ken

well he is actually saying being a few months behind is wrong , but i edited because he hasnt accused me of keeping anyone stuff , and i misread that , so thank u kenberg for pointing that out for me, check my edit out and i hope it sounds better now

joe

Promise?

THERES SOME FACTS FOR ALL

JOE

No ill feelings here. I am just posting the facts as I see them

this thread was about a guy that waited 45 days and u guys jump all over it everytime for no reason, but i see no facts , and u r basically saying your moderators r doing right by snide remarks to me and my customers, yet still no facts, i asked u to send me the people that have not gotten there watches back and or money , still no facts were given(yes i have been on a delay sometime because i was sick but mostly some were "SPECIAL PROJECT" i dont understand why u guys dont get it , some watches u cant just slap together and get them done over nite , so i dont understnad this whole forum, over at your other board and RWI we never see many threads other than The Zigmeister and i mixing it up from time to time (not in a while thank god) but for some strange reason over here only if u r on one side u r ok but if not u r powerless, so that is why and again i say i will not do any work for anyone over here ,so now there should be no more discussion and this thread is yet still going on with no facts

and to prove what? that this board is onesided once again

REAL FACTS: I have done nothing wrong and been proven guilty of being slow only when i get sick but yet get crucified over here for what facts "getting sick once or twice a year," oh well sry but if u had cancer like i did and your immune system was beat down like mine during treatments then maybe u all would not say so much for a couple of sick times a year , i have friends that get sicker longer than me , so i am pretty pleased with my health

AGAIN , I QUOTE all watches r not created equal, some r longer projects than most, yes if all i had to do is relume , or change a crown then life would be grand , but i actually create watches from other watches and make things work that most couldnt even comprehend, if u want facts, go see some pieces i have done , like pointy cgs gmt vintage , or 8mm brevet crown James bond vintage etc.. , none of u guys(watch modifiers ) couldnt touch that and i repeat u couldnt touch it , i would like to see u try if u want to take my challenge then see how much time and money it cost u

now u say i sold some stuff on ebay once again, what does that mean? ok i sold some stuff on ebay , yes while i was sick last year for a while, going back and forth trying to figure out what is wrong, i got bored and listed some things , whoopppeee, i dont know if u knew this but it is not hard or time consuming to punch on the key board and selll something on ebay , but it is a bit more tidious to work in depth on a time piece (beside the point i offered to send anyone that couldnt wait there watch back and they all said just get well first and then continue ) so your facts r not to factual imho

but beside the point , im done with the hypocrits with no substance on this board and one day u will see the truth , u say facts i say blind is what u all r

ive explained it all in my post under the off topic forum and again u still keep on at me , what kind of people r u?

to all my customers, thank u for your support over the years, and thanks for not buying into these so called facts, u know how to contact me if u need me, also keep i mind this thread has been going on for a week or more and look at the count of how many have read it , and see how many have existing problems with me , now ask yourself , if there were many dont u think u would be hearing from them and not from people , like [censored] trackey , andreww and people i have never done any work for , theres your facts (this is a bully forum and everyone but the clan knows it ) remember this over here if u ask a simple question, more than likely u will get laughed at and or talked down to , how many have that happened to , and more than likely it was one of these few guys that said it to u )

Later

joe

its running fine for me

http://replica-watch.info/forum/

joe

edited because im not going to stoop to your level doc

joe

hey guys,

i talked to joe today and he sent me some pics of my watch and he is shipping it to me today

and im adding the pics he sent me

he did an awesome job on it and it was worth the wait

glad u like it and here r some pics of it without having to downsize it, like i explained before , i have a new camera and am learning how to but so far i think it takes much better pics than my older one

btw:its in the mail on its way back to your wrist, enjoy!!

joe

Is there anyone left on this forum that does'nt complain about something!!!!!

ok many know me by now and know i type as i speak , plain english and no big words , but im guessing now u guys know me and can understand me , well at least i hope u can lol what i will be showing u is how i fix the release mechanism if u push it out of the socket so to speak, this one was pretty bad he bent some things i had to straighten out and piece back together, ok lets start , remember my pointer is the screwdriver ok

first of all u take the hands , dial and datewheel off , this is a mbw, so there is glue to tend with and u have to be really careful while taking the dial off or u could bend it

pic of the , hands ,dial, and datewheel and top of the movment once removed

im pointing with a screwdriver in this pic to show u the release spring for the datewheel u simply push it in to release it , also the big screw underneath my screwdriver/pointer i loosend a bit , reason for that will be coming up

this is how it looks when u push the stem release mechanism too hard notice how the sparts r bulging outward

now the fix, we have to remove the top plate , remove this screw

remember that screw below the datewheel release spring i said earlier u need to loosen but not remove here is why , when u do this it makes it easier to pull the top plate out

see the little lip on the top plate , it slides under that plate/big screw i loosened at the datewheel release spring , here is the little lip and where it slides under

now u have to loosen this screw and remove this piece , i dont know the correct name for this piece but u can see what im doing in the pic . also where that screw driver is do u see the bend in it, this where the person pushed really hard and bent this piece way on the other side , u really have to push it to achieve this bend lol hey he didnt know and i commend him trying to do some work himself , sometimes trying something is how u learn

another shot of the bend at the screw

ok now u have to remove the little arm im showing it simply pulls upwards off the post im pointing at

now u pull the stem release mechanism out to reposition in its correct place , like a puzzle

backside shot of the pusher , this post im showing is what u actually r pushing on to release the stem from the movment

now all u do is reverse everything i just showed u and put it back together some key points is in this pic, make sure this arm is around the little post on top of the release mechanism

and make sure u push the u shaped spring over to the side of the little metal piece im showing , it is spring action and when u push the stem in and out to change date or time , it helps push the arm up and down

after u get everything lined up and positioned correctly , u put your top plate back on like so making sure u slide the little lip back under that plate im showing and tighten that screw and put your top plate back in place and tighten it down

this is how it looks with it all in order and as u can see the bent parts r straight and looking good , lol

after pushing in and out the stem testing it now u can put your datewheel back on , u have to push in that little spring i showed u at the top to get the datewheel to lock in position

now it all works properly , and u can smile and now take a breath of air lol

enjoy , i know im not a english major and i never claimed to be, i tried to make it fun and simple for u to understand

just wanted u to know if u try this at home u have to have patience and if u r nervous or shakey i wouldnt recommend working on watches lol cheers

now for the best part after a job is completed ..... BEEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

I have only ever seen the work you do, and it has always been of the highest quality. Sorry to hear about this. Your service to this board will be missed.

thank u for your kind words, my service to this board is gone but my love for watches is still alive , we can still have fun

as for other comments , opinions r like [censored] we all have them , that is why i said i will let u read it how u would like to

i can tell u this im already sleeping better

joe

no need for your threats my old friend , i made up my mind in this thread, not because of u but only for me http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=25138&hl=

u should honestly fix the real problems around here , if u r here to mod for the good of the board then take care of the real issues that u seem to neglect to do , like real beef that was previously stated above and u graciously highlighted

take care

joe

Well i thought about it and thought about it and im no longer willing to offer my services , many know my reasons and some dont , and if u need to know then simply contact me at http://replica-watch.info/forum/ or email jbuttspsu@earthlink.net

im simply tired of being trolled by the same few people (i dont need there rubbish in my life)

TRUTH IS IN THE THREADS (just read it all and the facts r there ) , IF THEY DONT GET DELETED !!

im not mad at anyone i really pity those few trolls and i really wish them a happy life

the darkside is like nite and this place is like day , i will let u figure out what that means on your on

from now on again if u need my services , please dont ask me anything like that over here , u can ask me at TRC, RWI, or via email and or phone

again my email is jbuttspsu@earthlink.net or u can find me here http://replica-watch.info/forum/viewforum.php?f=84

it simple to find me , just ask around i have many friends and customers that can tell u where im at ok

thanks to all the people that r nice , i have enjoyed our talks and they still can happen

i will only be around here to talk watches with old friends and new ones but only talk about watches , and not my services , only as a collector and things that r cool about certain watches and also things that r not cool about certain watches (and yes i will still show pics of cool stuff like before , just will not offer to do it on this board

i simply think this is the best for me , this way i will not have this boards stress any longer , cause believe it or not when i am having to defend myself to someone i never even done work for it stresses me out, cause people that dont know me get the wrong idea about me , i was only working for people to make them happier with there watches, and yes i make a profit , i cant do it for free but some people here thinks i should , so i think it is best to not offer it here and then they cant say anything (well i doubt that but at least they will sound even more crazy when i dont even offer my services here , lol)

anyway happy time keeping to u all and i will see u around somewhere i hope

thanks for reading, im sure there will be bashing here but what is new about that here at RWG II, lol

joe(rbj69)

@RT- I looked through past posts when trying to find someone to do mods and Joes name always came back with high marks. I will be the first to post a thread if I felt I/we were being taken advantage of by another member. In fact I have done so with threads regarding Finepics, who still will not reply to my and I am sure others comment/emails. Why do you not start a thread about this matter? I have not had any problems with Joe but I am sure if I did they would be worked out and then if they were not I would bring that problem to the light of this forum.

So you stand corrected!

still no reply to this , lmao and u few guys say u r for the good of the board, too funny

joe

No Joe; I am pretty sure it was $25 or $35 and I believe you shipped it in a priority box. You mumbled something about having taken the caseback off and needed compensation for your time. And then you told me that it had been waterproof before you opened it but the $25 would not cover putting the caseback on tight enough to make it waterproof again and I would need to pay extra for that! I don't have the box here though and well check my desk at home in 2 weeks because I think I kept it although it was a year ago or so.

When I said priority or express I was talking about how I shipped it to you.

Cray.

I don't care about the $25 or $35; it was the pain in the [censored] in getting the rest of the money and the watch back.

now i remember, u wanted your watch back after i had already started (u changed your mind not me cause u bought into that thread i suppose but that was fine i did what i was asked of and u were fully reimbursed minus what we both agreed was fair enough ) , so i charge u a very small fee for my time and mailing it back was in fact 6.35 two day priority with 100usd insurance and now u have gripe, and or could it be u r The Zigmeisters buddy as well , like RT stated Denisegold was my customer? hmmmm

now im done with your childish accusations , please really give us some good stuff to b__tch about , u beat all

joe

I shipped from about 3 states away to you in NC via USPS priority or express.

For a while I thought you had stolen a ~400 MBW + ~450 in fees; ended up costing me a $25 or $35 "handling" fee to get it all back. You were very quick with emails until I sent you money - then nothing! Had to post on every board like Wayne Brady collecting.

I have the PMs still on RWG where I am very specific about turn around time and you reply "2-3 weeks".

since u r so specific , then was the i believe the correct figure was $20 dollars and it was shipping fees not handling and it was because u didnt understand i got sick , but u got your money and your watch back sry i got sick but [censored] happens and i believe it was shipped express shipping wasnt it?

and to longshot here is the key to your thread (THE TRUTH WILL SET U FREE) AND THEN IT WAS CLOSED

PAGE 4 on the thread u posted and down about middle way a member named XRT found the original post of the watch in question after it left my workstation, and pics i took of it before it left r posted , there is your truth unless u neglect to read that part as it seems u all like to do

I have seven fully-modded Rolex reps from Joe.

I have posted close-up pics of all of them, and I think they look quite spectacular. So do a number of other folks who made very nice comments about them (this includes some of the same people bashing him in this thread.) thumbdown.gif

I look at the pictures of Panerai 153's DRSD and wonder how it could look so messed up compared to what Joe says he sent him. g.gif

Where are all the other pictures from other folks with messed-up RBJ watches. Please come forward and share them with the board.

Panerai 153 seemed so happy with this watch when he wrote about it a few months back...what happened to set this off?

IPB Image

I thought the pics of his new vintage lume-job looked so awesome that it inspired me to send my 1680 and 1665 back to Joe to be relumed. Obviously, if you take the time to look at the lume with a magnifier it will be imperfect. A magnifier-perfect lume line or dot can not be painted by even the steadiest of hands (even under the influence of B-blocker's.) Replace RBJ's fingers with a "DaVinci" robot, then maybe.

I too would like to see The Zigmeister's lume under the same high-power magnification and contrast lighting.

If ever I didn't like something Joe did, I would let him know and he would make it right (i.e. pay me back or fix the problem.) When he does an experiment (i.e. new lume technique or custom molded brevet crown, etc.) and you aren't happy with the result, why not just tell him and give him the chance to make it right?

One time, he installed an experimental pearl dot for a vintage insert and I thought it looked way-off. He didn't charge me.

He charges an hourly rate like any contractor I have ever come across (i.e. plumber, electrician, hi-fi techs, etc.) To me, it was worth the price since his quality has been very good and I too don't have the time or skills to do this type of work.

In short, these photos do not represent any of the end products I have ever received from RBJ.

thanks longshot , im glad u posted that , cause now they can read the whole thread and see the truth, another lie as usual but at least the truth came out at the end, thats why it was closed

im tired of the same old thing to , no one knows how to read the whole story , just bits and pieces ,,,, READ IT ALL and u will see no one was done wrong , read what u want then u can make what ever scenario your mind wants to , lol

and to this day no one still has been done wrong by me !!!! just alot of hot air being blown around here again and again , same as that thread LS just posted

joe

and still the whole truth is not accomplished, tell us all where and how it was shipped and how much money i allegely stole from u again?

joe

Denise,.. I like you,.. always have,. You sound like a really nice person....

However, in this case, you are way behind the curve, and I hope that others

will simply take the word of those that have been around a while, who have,

like me, nothing against Joe, and everything for the board.

This is NOT a jumping,... but an unveiling .... and it's in that sprit that we

do this.... Look back at previous posts in this thread.. one is by TuTone,

who is a mod here...one of the most honest people we know

who gives of his free time to work for us all...

If you choose not to listen,.. fine, continue your business with Joe,.. but please

just in case you are wrong,.. {which you are} think about the others who

may fall into the holes that you are helping him to cover up, like he has

so many times in the past...

maybe the holes u keep suggestion r not covered up, but simply been filled with the dirt that opened them up

its funny how u r usually the hole and how u try to bring someone else to help fuel your rage , if i sounded like u ,i would be miserable

joe

Everyone here is my buddy Joe,... No single person in particular,.. While you, Joe are here for profit,..

so what u r saying is if your resident master watchsmith was sent work by u he would not profit from it ?

u beat all , please tell me where u can get someone to work for u for no profit? cause i need some work done for free as well, lol

now u r sounding silly and im wasting time that i could be using on realistic people that know we all do work for a profit , so i will say this in closure , i wish u happiness in life and life is too short

joe

No Denise,.. with the heart of gold... The fact that I have no grudge against him, nor any product with him,

speaks to the fact that I care only about the board,...

While you on the other hand...

thanks for your honesty in my question

now, the fact that denisegold has had two watches worked on by me and the fact i have more upcoming work for her and he means that i am doing my job and u r making false accusations for the benefit of your "Buddies" , not the "Board"!!!!!

joe
