I just found out this thread. I sent two of my watches to Taka (Top Gun & RG 3717) on 4/10/11 and he confirmed receipt on 7/10/11 and estimated completion to be 1-2 weeks. As of today, I have not gotten back my watches. Communication with him was still ok between Oct and Nov.
On 3/12/11 he said my Top Gun was ready and would mail it to me first, I emailed him my address promptly. I have not received anything or heard from him since. I have met Taka before and he's a friendly chap. I do not mind waiting as I know this is not his main business, but I would appreciate better communication from him.
I have dropped off watches at Taka's address and it does not seem to be his office, I remembered he told me that he just collects the watches from there.
