Very long headaches Story short: After ordering a modded ZF 15400 from AMF i decided to go with my second order at them, a modded ROO Dark Knight. The 15400 took looker than promised but it was fine. But The second watch took very long time. I ordered June 2024 and received it on march 2025. Many Times He just ignored my messages. The Main reason i ordered from AMF and paid 1950$ for the watch, was the thinning of the watch. I was promised around gen thickness when we remove the deco plate. In december He sent me QC and i noticed that the deco plate is inside and the watch is very thick. I asked if He thinned the watch and He said he forgot due to internal misscommunication. But The order was mentioned in RWI chat. After 2 months of work He told me the watch is send. But no QC pictures before. Watch comes very thick and not thinned at all. Requested a full refund, and He opened here a case with a mod. The mod was not trying to help. Asked legend for help, but also no help. They told me i measure the watch wrong, but whats Nonsense. No customer Support from AMF, bad work, and overall a very Bad experience. Dont work with them

Where I need to be.
You have been warned not to be abusive several times and persisted in your erroneous behavior despite being told about tolerances and all that. So if you think your abuse can solve issues please carry on but let me warn you that your next abusive post or PM will get you banned. You’ve been warned several times to communicate nicely instead of being abusive toward a TD here.
@Stuvetjee followed the entire case as did I and you blew it up yourself. Too bad.

First, the Dark Knight is a difficult to source watch.

Secondly, no matter what you do, getting it to look like a GEN or even getting it as thin as a GEN seems rather unreasonable to me. That applies to most AP, VC, and PP watches. It may be possible to improve thinness somewhat, a great expense of labor, but not GEN-like. At some point, the law of diminishing return comes into play.
In the scale of things, $1,950 for a modded replica of a watch that sells in the low-to mid $20Ks used is still less than 10%.

Finally, the REP game and more so the modding game requires patience. I myself am waiting for half a year now for a watch that I sent out to be modded, and it helps me personally not to think about it, just like when the stock market takes a dip. Move on with your life until you get word from the modder. Yes, it's okay to politely inquire about the progress every few months, but it has to be done respectfully, as the modder does you a favor, and you need the modder's services, not the other way around.

What a debacle..... @Stuvetjee mentioned the toxic behaviour of the OP towards those attempting to help.....and it is sadly the case.....so with that been said............

@AMF @legend @Stuvetjee .....if needed go ahead and publish the PM (or excerpts thereof) to back up any statements you wish to make.

I personally had a great experience with AMF. Don't expect a 100% 1:1 watch unless you're willing to pay 100% of the price.
