Been reading on here about LocoLouie who did all sorts of crazy mods including case thinning for APs. Whatever happened to him?

I wanted to get a 15450 or a 15202 but thin the case to gen thickness...

He scammed members and then disappeared.

Contact slaughter62 instead. He has a theead out there with some LL work comparisons mixed in. You'll be in better hands with him than you ever would have been with LL.

I was also lucky to get my fully modded LocoLouise Rolex hulk from him. It was at the very end of his business where not too many people got their watches. I guess I was lucky one.
the quality of his work was really really good. Too bad that he didn’t give a shit to send those watches out to people.
i think he just said fuck it when things got too overwhelming for him and people started bombarding him with nasty email - it’s absolutely not an excuse but I think that was also a factor. Imagine you had to mod around 300 watches and then send them to people.
i remember some people got someone’s else reps.
It was a SHITSHOW.

​​​​​​​I know you want 15450 or 15202 but ZF will be releasing 15400 which I believe will be thinner than JF version. There are pic of zf 15400 black dial and it looks great - better than JF version.
im guessing if zf 15400 will sell good they may also release 15450, let’s wait and see.
how small is your wrist?

Damn I didn't know any of this!!! Such is the rep game i suppose lol.

My wrist is 6.5". I actually tried both a gen 15400 and 15202. 15400 looked a bit comical to be honest. Those lugs really make a difference. The 39mm 15202 was perfect and holy hell.....the thinness in real life is so freakin awesome.

Hopefully they make the smaller APs but I have a tendancy to like stuff I can't find. Like the old ZF 16570 Explorer II rep. Damn.
