flybridge Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hi, I send my Explorer II for a relume to a guy called the Relumer in Greece. Many things went wrong, see the pics and you`ll know. The lume is good but the watch come back with scratches, the crown doesn't work in a propper way anymore (means it's impossible now to wind the watch, if you pull out the crown there's no first position anymore - so I want to wind but change the date...) On the dial there's some dust and the black color uf the hands seems way to glossy. I send a DJ II as well to im but he don't look at the pics I send to him before. Lume of the numbers should be blue and hands green, but he made everything blue. So that was disappointing as well, and no answer when I complain. So it was a very bad experience at all!! I cannot recommend this guy at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Sorry to read about your experience. For future reference make sure to buy the 'craftsman' not the service. Make sure you know the guy and are confident about his work before you ship out. Everybody can call himself 'relumer' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 This is the person who asked to become a modder on the forum. The moderation team accessed his work and turned down the modder due to the quality of the work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolexman Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 The lume application actually does not even look that bad..... But all the other stuff is a big no no off course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Welcome to RWG, stick to modders listed in these forums, and you will be fine, you like many others went elsewhere, and have now joined the many unhappy members who have done very similar before finding RWG.

watchman12345 Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I agree. The lume looks quite ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 The lume looks like good Tritec luminova .. but trashing your watch case and bracelet is inexcusable. Luckily, there are people here who can re-finish the brushed and polished surfaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
