runninhorn Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Just bought a tt rep rolex sub from Eddie Lee. Love the watch, looks great, but would like a few small mods done to the watch. Does anyone here recommend anyone to do the mods? Just wondering, thanks. Took it to my local rolex dealer but he wanted an arm and a leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionsandtigers Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 what mods are you trying to do? might be able to do them yourself with some practice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWG Technical Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 Contact Redbigjoe he does good work Given that the person asking the question is new here, and does not know the history of what has happened in the past, it would be wise for him to read this post, and be able to make a decision on what to do - from an informed position... You should read this long post and then make an informed decision... Making that statement, in light of what has transpired here, is not allowing the new member to be totally informed. In this case, this new member may end up with the same fate as the person who started the above linked post, and that would be unfair. We owe it to new members to be informed, so they can make their own decisions, with all available information at hand... RG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By-Tor Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 So, let me get this straight... You took your sub rep to a rolex dealer and they agreed to work on it?!?! Yeah... I was wondering the same thing. The authorized Rolex dealers mod the reps only with a sledgehammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionsandtigers Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 i just caught that also chieftang, i have never heard of an AD that was willing to work on a rep, thats odd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlaletom Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 It would help if you told what mod you need. If it's movement work you should definitively take a slot in The Zigmeister waiting list. for luming finepics, palpatine and of course The Zigmeister again (just recived a superb 196 dial from him) he is in canada so that should be without any probs from u.s. For case work palpatine or finepics depending on what you whant, but are in e.u. RBJ may not be the best choice at the moment from what it seems from various post ...

ekhunter Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I smell something fishy going on here....... Yep! Smells kind of fishy. Maybe it was just a jeweler and not a Rolex dealer. If it was a Rolex dealer, what's up with that? Why no response yet? I suspect it might be a fishing expedition to find who is working on these. Watch out for the Rolex police, I heard they will rough you up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runninhorn Posted September 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 So, let me get this straight... You took your sub rep to a rolex dealer and they agreed to work on it?!?! Yes, my local dealer I took it to, he was adjusting the band for me and said to bring it back anytime to get the band changed out and if i wanted any mods done to it, it would void the warranty but he would still do it if I wanted it done.

I want just about any mod done to it you can get done to it in order to make it closer to the real thing. Luming, movement, case, etc. Ill take it all. So am I reading this correct that palpatine is the man to go to to get most of this done? It appears he does the majority of the modding I want done. Thanks again for the info.

I have a job you know and dont live on this forum, give me time. And yes, it is an ACTUAL ROLEX DEALER, not some jeweler. But i didnt want him working on it cuz I knew if he opened it up he would discover it was a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alextor Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Took it to my local rolex dealer but he wanted an arm and a leg. There is NO rolex authorized dealer on the face of this planet who would even consider do mods on a replica...(what else are you going to mod? a gen?) . And you are saying he wanted an 'arm and a leg' ???? I agree with the guys...9 posts and asking for modders...fishy (and a bad story teller) :yucky: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
