grifter Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hey all, I've been using Zigmeister for a while now and love his work. After a long break I am back to repdom and need some work done but read in some threads that he retired?! Can any one confirm? Sorry if this has been beaten to death but I'm a bit out of the loop after my break. Thx in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stolikat Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 That's what I understand. Yes he is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtiis Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Actually, he's just found a new profession. Think he was working as an extra in the "World War Z" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 He has retired, no longer accepting any work. He may however still be doing some work on gen watches, but definitely no reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Yes, he's retired. I needed the Maestro's touch to complete my Big Gonzo build and he said he'd do it if I could get it to him by the end of a specific timeframe. I did, he did, and it's the last one. All Hail the King. We have been immensely fortunate to have him here these many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifter Posted October 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 wow that's tragic.. but i'm being selfish. Hope karma pays Rob back for all the goodness he brought to those fortunate to work with him and he has a wonderful life. Nothing but best wishes for him!

gran Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Retired they say!!! The Zigmeister is a legend. It is his style to go missing for a year or two to arise once again. We may still be graced by his company one sunny day. Gunnar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lolz123 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Does anyone know anyone in Canada that could do work like him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiwcroo Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 How about in the USA? Anyone who can do good rep work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 Vaccum in Florida does very good work. I'd judge him to be the best right now. His turnaround times are near three months due to the workload. The Zigmeister was a true watchmaker, tho, and can actually make watch parts on site so to be clear, there is no one who rivals him who currently works with the community.

danielv2000 Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 In the USA, I have used both Vac and PBdad. My preference is PBdad. BK also used PB exclusively for his super-lume sub contracting work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theiwcroo Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 Is PBdad on this forum? I'm looking for someone to help with a few of my reps. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 PBdad's work is variable. Unless they have been deleted, there are examples of his work here that look like art projects. The one reason I had been hesitant to recommend BK's fine watches in the past was his collaboration with PBdad. I am not saying that PBdad has never done good work. I'm saying his work is variable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielv2000 Posted October 11, 2013 Report Share Posted October 11, 2013 PB has a section over on Repgeek. Maybe I've been lucky or the fact that I am a repeat customer. I've always been very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
