RWI Watch Overhaul Special!!!

[smascarinas]

6/24/11 NOTES: Regarding lume... Quality of work is superb but not bright at all. I was kinda disappointed. Lume brightness is like below average rep lume. I will see if Andy is willing to try other lume powders. But for now quality is below RWI average.

6/21/11 IMPORTANT UPDATE: For Franken Builds Andy can not source you parts for Omega. He can only build your franken from your aquisition.

-------------------------------------------------
First and foremost I am not affiliated with this watch-smith financially. He is my good friend who services all my watches. With that in mind I asked if I could extend my discount to my RWI friends and he agreed.

So this is what we came up with... (LIMITED TIME ONLY)

Ok, I am sending my Daytona in..

Great to know as I'm also in Chicago.

What are his hours for those that want to stop buy and drop off.

 

[rsh]

This is great but I wonder why it matters if the movement (for instance 2836) is asian versus swiss and doubling of the pricing, since they are essentially the same job ??

It's possible the "Swiss" movement may need more work as some are re-builds etc.?

 

[smascarinas]

Good question didn't want to ask and raise the prices on the Asian movement. I'm guess it's his personal bias in terms of "Swiss" being the better therefore a little more expensive.

Also if you haven't noticed all movements not some.. so no price difference between 2824 and 7750's.... Which is frickin' awesome!

Can't remember exact.. but I think it's from 10-7pm.

[seventhexile]

So the shop is reputable then? Dont want to send my watch out to them and never hear from em again :lolcina:

Great prices though! I will prob send my new-to-me watch in for preventative servicing and to have it fully cleaned :thinking:

 

[tokeyx]

Those prices seem to good to be true. Hell my local smith charged me $50 for a dry pressure test.

 

[trailboss99]

He what???? Pirate, it takes about two minutes to do.

 

[Camaro95]

Those prices seem to good to be true. Hell my local smith charged me $50 for a dry pressure test.

It's a sale. Special prices for a limited time. Likely to drum up business and enter a potentially underserviced market.

Mine charges $20.

You can google them.. and I think there was one person who left a review... but I think he's been around for a while. I will ask him how long he's been there today when I pick up my PO.. I had the hands relumed.. I will post the pics hopefully tonight.

Also I will vouch for Andy's reputation and for those who gets their watches serviced... please post reviews here.

He wouldn't give an under-service and give 1 year warranty. He believes in what he does.. And I asked him about the checks payment and he said "why would anyone scam me if I am giving them 1 year warranty for their watch."

What? What takes two minutes to do? Pressure test?
