xelorrolex Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 hi Guys, I recently had issue with my new 2436 ETA Explorer 216570. Three weeks ago I contacted Domi in order to send him the watch for repair. Everything was fluid so I decide to send him the watch to do the job. A few days after, I received a mail telling he got the watch. But now, since two weeks, I haven't news. So my question is: How are the Domi's waiting times ? looks like he is nice and reliable guy ... Your experiences are welcome Thanks Xel
whoever Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 He told me 4 to six weeks......I just try not to think about it.....
Legend Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 You can trust Domi.. like all watchmakers I believe he has his busy moments as well. Domi has been around for a long time, have faith in him.
sgtguk Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Xel, I have had no dealings with Domi but can tell you if he is anything like Vac he will be busy and 4-6 weeks sounds pretty good to me
browngo1 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 I was unable to change the day/date on my Ebel Discovery and sent it to Domi. 6 to 8 weeks is probably more realistic, but have no fears. His work is top notch and I got mine back working like a gen. I'll definitely use him again.
Star69 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 i saw him last last weekend - he had some family business that took a lot of his time - don't worry - just be patient ... one thing i noticed : his re-luming skills have drastically improved over the last months cheers, Frank
rolli Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 hi mother was in hospital and then anotther family person too, he was two times fin italy. everybody was waiting for the repairs. rolli
slask111 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Posted September 22, 2012 Everything below two months is great in my book. Try to send a gen rolex through the AD. Now that require patience.. and money. Domi is a stand up guy. He will contact you when the watch is ready.
xelorrolex Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Posted September 22, 2012 Thank you, Guys, for your kind words ... This forum is definitely the place to be !!!!
mbjoer Posted September 24, 2012 Report Posted September 24, 2012 one thing i noticed : his re-luming skills have drastically improved over the last months Good to hear. That was a difinite weak point from my experience.
Kal Vilmer Posted September 28, 2012 Report Posted September 28, 2012 Meh, that's nothing. I once sent a watch to a rep-friendly watch guy in Texas and he had it for six months. Once i got it back, it worked for a month and then died on me again.
xelorrolex Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Posted October 12, 2012 Still no news from Domi, despite my emails .... If any of you, guys , has contact with him, I'd be glad to know everythings is on the way ... Thanks Xel
whoever Posted October 12, 2012 Report Posted October 12, 2012 i had an mail exchange beginning of the week, he hadn't the time to start yet on my watch, and i've sent it more then 4 weeks ago......where is my bottle of scotch? But well, only heard positiv things! 1

But well, only heard positiv things! You're lucky, I don't have any answer, nor mail for instance
Redline Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Negative feedback from my side. Communication was very hard. Result of his work was very poor, with hidden issues (super glue stuff). Will not recomend him to anyone.
whoever Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 You're lucky, I don't have any answer, nor mail for instance well, lucky, i don't know, answer was, he had not started yet.....so....
PeteM Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Picking up on the lume comments.... I think we should find a way of grouping watch relumes.... what I mean is that Domi has a RCTrictec lumograph machine... however its not cost effective for him to use it because the machine requires a minimum load of lume...as we all know lume itself is quite pricey.. So if a way could be found to create a way of grouping watch lume jobs ... it could drastically improve the relume service Domi offers and would make it the best available lume option over other choices... I am thinking aloud but any suggestions would be welcome... Domi has a busy life at the moment and has had a good few personal issues as well as his family so jst be preapred to wait...it will be worth it...
CPTony Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Domi is the best in EU. People here expect nice jobs in no time at minimum cost with a flawless communication... But this is something that neither Rolex can give, so guys pls set your expectations right and u wont be disappointed!

BECAUSE he has such a good reputation......i'm just sooooooooooooooooooooo happy and looking forward to see the new lume job on my watch. I heard he had some personal issues, so no prob, hope all is good now.

whoever Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 thats what i said, grab your scotch and think about something else!
whoever Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 Do you ask for pics before he ships your item back? Or would that be harsh?
PeteM Posted October 23, 2012 Report Posted October 23, 2012 I do generally but it depends on the work being asked for...
