  3. MD2020 Who is dealing with him, I'm worried now!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Guys this isn't a thread to lynch Mike, far from it tbh  ;)  the intention of this thread is for members who have work with Mike to be able to talk to him and each other re the work that is currently in hand, thats all.

     

    As an update on my jobs Mike has contacted me today and I've forwarded instructions again on what is needed (5 jobs) to him, waiting on a reply now as he will work on them this week.

     

    I'll keep you up to date on how my jobs are going, would appreciate the same transparency from others too. 

    I don't think a public listing of what Mike is doing for you, updates on the status of the work is really needed. This would only start additional comments that are un-needed.

    Example, you post one of your jobs is taking a long time. Others start jumping-on, wanting to know why. Every job is different, and there may be stumbling blocks due to

    unforeseen issues with each project. I don't expect to know every detail of each job he's doing for others, but those details would be needed to fully understand the entire project.

    What's next, asking publicly what you've paid for your work! Come'on guys, let's be reasonable here. I have 3 pieces with Mike myself. If I want an update on how things are

    going, I'll chat with Mike. That's who's doing my work and that is who I'm paying too. What he charges me is no one else's business, nor should it be. How long My jobs are taking

    are also no one's business. Again, you don't know the details of what I need done on each piece, parts that may be needed or what Mike & I have agreed to.

    Not trying to jump on you sgtguk, just maybe you & I don't see eye-to-eye on this 'Transparency' thing, but that's My .02 cents!

  6. Need Community's Help - Is this Superlume?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Not picking a side here, but I don't see any it listed as Superlumed in the original FS post.

    Plus in the FS post, it has a lume shot, so you see what it looked like, before you bought it.

    If the seller sent you a lume-shot before purchase and you still bought it, then it's now your's. Unless the picture

    he sent you was of a different dial, then I wouldn't see a refund in order here.

     

    Either resell it yourself if you're unhappy with it, or send it out for a brighter lume job.

  8. Hand Removers should DIE! (was: Keyless works should DIE!)

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I just went through my 1st keyless works fix attempt. It started when I just wanted to see if my gen crown would fit my new GMT. I just bought a bunch of tools so I could learn to do my own work. Took the back off, pulled the stem and found the gen was to big for the tube. No tube removal tool so I'll just put the GMT back together. Nope, not that easy. KW got out-of-wack putting the stem back in. Its an ETA 2834-2, the stem should have gone right back in easy. Took the GMT apart, remove dial & hands ok. Took the entire KW out. Wanted to learn how it all works. Put it back together ok, I thought. But more the watch don't run! Seconds hand just don't move? I really thought I'd done good, because even the date changes right at 12, spot-on.

    Now what's wrong with it?

  14. MD 2020' s return ? answer!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Yes, Mike is becoming a great 'go-to-guy'. I have had work done by Mike in the past and his work is outstanding.

    I trust Mike, as he has 3 other watches of mine now getting work done.

    I have patiences and I hope others do to. Family comes 1st, Always. Our 'hobbie' stuff can wait for Mike to get back

    on track.

    Mike, I hope your string of bad luck has ended. You deserve a break my friend!

  21. 1655 eBay scam

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    Week that one is gone now. He may have ended the auction early as he did say it was also offered locally for sale. He still has one live auction, and that ones up the 12k.

    I would never buy from someone with zero feedbacks. Unless you can view the watches locally, pass!

  22. Heavy Wieght YM Champ?

    in The Rolex Area

    Posted

    I have a BK YM recently purchased from him. Not sure of the source but this watch is spot on. I also swapped out the "stock" clasp and installed a Daytona clasp and wow. Adds great look and field. This is a mod the gen guys do and I can see why.

    got any pictures of this mod? I'd like to see it.

    Thanks,

    Dave...
