nuttcrac69 2 Posted July 28, 2014 Since this is a VinRo thread I thought perhaps someone here can help me. Anyone heard from Rolex Addict lately? I have sent him a few e-mails, but no reply. Anybody know if he is perhaps overloaded with work or on holiday or something? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anybody know if he is perhaps overloaded with work or on holiday or something? Thanks Yes. He's a very busy man. Give it a few. I'm sure he will get to you at some point. When he puts up posts of his work, like he did the other week, he gets inundated with messages I would assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StormyNight 0 Posted July 28, 2014 I'm in regular contact with Rolex Addict. He's just finished working on 3 of my watches and shipped them back to me on Friday. Yes, he's always very busy as most of his work is "gen stuff" away from the forum and, rightly or wrongly, he prioritises previous customers. I've now had 5 "full package" vintage mods done by him and always get a reply within 24hrs of PM'ing him here. Also, he's had some "issues" recently away from the watch world which have delayed him a little. He's worth the wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too need to consider investing in a RA modded sub or similar. To be honest I'm really taken by the GMT 1675, so I think that's next on the hit list when funds replenish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As per above, he seems to be very selective about who he replies to, I tried several times to get some work done by him with no joy, gave up in the end! Tori seems to have the secret password to getting a reply from him, lol, but then Tori has at least two things I don't have 1. Money 2. An existing customer relationship with him What did you guys think I meant?!? DC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mebbe worth a pm I ended up buying a pre-modded case from M2M so didn't need modding, I'm kinda over it now though and back onto Patek and AP, might pick up another Daytona though, possibly a PN!
