A BIG THANKS to Rolie - great watch repair, great guy.

Recommended Posts

Hiya,

 

I just wanted to share the good news and say thanks a million to Rolie!!

 

My MBW sea dweller just stopped dead not long after I dropped it. I looked around the forums for a watch repair guy and saw some great reviews on Rolie.

 

I also wanted a dial swap from MBW to Ingod rail dial and the Polex Pete DWO fitted.

 

No problem, the whole job was turned around door to door in one week!

 

Great communication and update pics.

 

Prices were fair and the work is excellent.

 

Rolie sorted and regulated the movement, the DWO alignment is spot on. I'm amazed at the difference the silver DWO has made to the look of the watch. The text on the Ingod dial just pops out, its excellent. Next up some case shaping and maybe a gen dial. Here are the before and after pics.

 

Again a big thanks for all your help Rolie. My MKii will be on its way for some TLC very soon.

 

This is the before pic. an un modded out of hte box old school MBW 1665

The ingod rail dial compared to the MBW - The printing just pops.

The finished result. The silver dwo and dial just have to seen in the flesh, pics just don't capture the real gen like quality.

 

Next, Athya 702 crown, some serious case shaping and a gen T39 service dial.........then a new case back......then........ :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Cheers,

 

I can't wait to get the case sorted the lugs look like a prop forwards shoulders. The gen has much slimmer lugs as well as more delicate cg's. can't fault the work Rolie has done. Really chuffed.
