Simced Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hey guys I'm a new member located in Toronto, Canada and I heard of (The Zigmeister Zumba?) that was a modifier on here but I can't find him! Can anyone help? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc33 Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 http://www.rwg.cc/user/452-the-zigmeister/ Welcome, here is his page, send him a message if you want. He is from Toronto but his workshop is in on the east coast of Canada, you would have to send him the watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Hate to be a bearer of bad tidings, but you probably went to his profile page and found no contact info, plus he's been offline since mid September. Ziggy is planning to retire from watchmaking at the end of the year. He is from what I understand not going to take any new orders after June. I can assure you that he will be flooded by old members who have used his services for many years, so my guess, and it's only a guess, he won't take on any business from new members. My advice to you would be to check around this and the other forums and try to establish a relationship with someone else. there are several very good modders working herein the USA. The biggest problem is all the ones that I have been in contact with cannot offer the range of services that Ziggy did. He was the best, bar none at re lumes. he could do case wortk, and he is a master watchmaker, so no worries about him cobbling up a movement overhaul. Good luck, and keep everyone here posted about you experiences with other modders. Believe me, there are going to be a bunch of us in your position come the end of this year.

panerai153 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 There are going to be a lot of folks going into panic mode when the news finally sinks in!! It's definitely true, unfortunately. I got and email from him around the first of January with the announcement that he was closing up shop at the end of 2012, no new orders after June, and the focus will be on servicing movements and lume, "projects" evaluated on and individual basis. MD, you need to get going on the lume, I know you got the watchmaking part down pat. There are going to be a lot of folks looking for a place to send watches in the next few months.
