Any insights into repairs with Andrew at TT?

Hi all, curious to get some thoughts on this situation that's bothering me a little. I sent back a Rolex Daytona to Andrew and his watch smith received it on September 28th. As of today, there has been no indication as to when the repair will be completed. I also asked him if I could just pay the difference (if applicable) and get a Noob version of the same watch and was turned down. Is this common? Does anyone else have any experience with these long repairs or lack of flexibility with swapping a watch?

He's had it barely a month, it may take 3 months to get it repaired and returned to you.
