Currently I have a few pieces with 2 modders:
Modder #1 has 3 watches. 1 watch which was semi faulty when I got it (new watch sourced by the modder of which the modder modded) I sent it back to fix and 2 other watches are for further mods I sent. The mods for the two watches IMHO are not extremely difficult (some modders I read can turn it around in like 2 weeks). So far it has been 9 months. There were some personal issues with this modder which I appreciate but he doesn't really answer my messages semi promptly, e.g. took me over 1 month to get a reply from him last time (I send follow up messages like a few weeks later, i.e not messaging daily like a pest)
Modder #2 has 1 watch. Is a new build/build from scratch with parts sourced entirely by him and this watch he had built before. I requested some changes to the watch as it wasn't accurate and additional hands so I don't mind waiting. I waited over 12 months for the watch, got it and the second hand came off within days and also the plexi was cracked inside along the rehault. I sent it back and it has been like 4 months now. He also doesn't really answer my messages semi promptly, e.g. took me over 1 month to get a reply from him last time
I know this is a hobby which requires patience, but what would you do? Get the watches back and send it to other modders? keep messaging hoping to get replies? I hope I don't sound like I am annoyed or I am here to out the two modders. But I just like a reality check to see if I am being unreasonable in any ways or is this just taking far too long even for most of you and when to call quit/change, etc.
Thank you
