Still working on them . But basically , I do an assessment of the watch first and then provide an cost estimate back to you . Full Overhauls and take downs generally are $90. Lume jobs for sandwich dials and hands are $85-$100. Other lesser problems will vary , all depends on the exact nature of the problem. Just send me an email to :[email protected] with a description of whats wrong, what you'd like done etc. I'll get back to you .

Thanks so far to everyone for all the warm welcomes !

Welcome!

Isn't that a 7750 in the picture? ;)

Indeed it is . But I'm not quite as savvy around them as I would like, so I have decided not to accept them as of right now . But things can change.

A sandwich dial is a dial with 2 layers....like a sandwich....One layer with the cut offs for the numbers and the other one to put the lume on...so noobs can relume these :facepalm:

Repair of Panerai

I recently mailed my non-running Panerai to Gary Katt. The problem seemed to be with the winding stem and not the mainspring.

I had it back in just over a week working like a top. The winding tube, as I thought, needed to be replaced. Unable to find one quickly, he crimped the tube, lubed the jewels and had it up and running -- all for a very reasonable price that included shipping.

I highly recommed his services.

Dear membership:

Earlier today I posted what I thought was a prviate message to Katt concerning repairs on a Rolex Day-Date, whose stem had snapped off and whose movement stopped working. The post noted that the movement still didn't work; that I had thanked him for doing a great job on fixing the primary reason for the repair -- the broken stem. Here's the problem: I have searched in vain for that post so I could correct it with updated information, but I was never able to find it. FOR THE RECORD: Katt expeditiously fixed the problem by fabricating the part himself; he fixed it within a few hours of receiving it; and more importantly, had it in the mail for me by Saturday and in my mailbox by today. Upon learning of the stuck movement, he offered to fix it again; and if it didn't work, offer a partial refund; most importantly, he gave me advice on how to get the damn thing running again -- and I did. I was VERY IMPRESSED with this person and his willingness to go above and beyond the basics to ensure he a satisfied customer. I PLACED HIS WEBSITE ON MY "FAVORITES" LIST AND HAVE HIS PHONE NUMBER IN MY BOOKLET; I WILL do business with him again when I have problems with my reps -- which will happen, as is the nature of our hobby. Any RWI member will be in good hands with this very honorable and trusted repairman and dealer.

I was notified about your post to this thread, so if there is no PM to Katt in your outbox it appears you entered it as a post? And I wonder if a Mod...modded it?
