Katt's Watch Repair

[ThinkBachs]

I've used Gary to have some work done on my DSSD with a date change issue. Got there in 2 days sent with delivery conf. and he started it the same day! He emailed me the photo of the problem with details of what he did to fix it...

Had it back to me right quick! Excellent communication and like others have already stated, a real gem among gems. KATT will be the only person I'll send my watches to from now on.

RECOMMEND RECOMMEND RECOMMEND - That's all I can say - Great week of updates and where he was with my repair of my Flying Tourbillon watch. WHOO HOO he was able to get it back and running ( I though it was gone.)
Last Email had me smiling for days - still.
Over and above THANK YOU GARY!!!!!

"Well , we've reached the end of the story . I took your watch to another fellow , who is a master watch maker . I consider him among the very best . He got the bad case screw out and removed the broken stem . The stem here was broken off all the way down to the very last thread . He worked is magic by actually using tix solder and a alcohol burner to be able to secure the stem extender on to it , I've never seen custom work done quite like this, also, we'er very fortunate since no stem would have been available for replacement . He then measured and cut everything and got it !! Whew ......
Wish I had brought along my camera . "

hey katt, i bought a Rolex LV for like $125 a bit back locally before i started seriouosly looking at reps.

i don't wear it often, but now when i do, it looses time very quickly, the second hand keeps sweeping but the minutes don't move forward after 5-10 min.

i dunno if it's worth sending to you look at, it's very nice looking still, don't know how authentic it looks

also what would it cost to make it water tight for swimming a light water duty and re-lum the arms?

maybe just fix it to make it a beater.

cant wait to get back to the house in a few months! i definitely have a lot of watch parts i can donate to you for your parts inventory...

and i have a few watches i hope to get fixed and be able to enjoy once more; one is a seagull st-18 mov't. (eta 2892 clone) in a old skool omega 007 and the other is a rolex gmt with swiss eta 2893-2 gmt mov't.

 

[katt]

Sounds great .

I just received my sub back from Gary. His service and communication are second to none!!! I cannot say enough nice things about the way I was taken care of.
Gary, thank you for being the rarity you are, as most are no where near your level of professionalism nor courtesy.

 

[katt]

Why thanks drlprieboy for the kind words . You are most welcome !
