    Back in the old days, I agree....he's grown too much today, can't keep up with the work load...and quality has suffered(I know).

    I've never had an issue with Jack's work or heard of any issues other than his service backlog. I've had tons of work done by him over the years as well as recently, and the quality has consistently remained very good.

    If we were taking Dr. Seiko, then that would be a different conversation...

    Unfortunately I've been very disappointed the last 2 times, this past trip will now cost me $580 at Nesbits to fix correctly. He does great lume work, but his backlog continues to grow...not sure who I'll use in the future (don't say ABC )?

    For most Omega work, Al Archer is the man...a true professional.

    Have you tried ABC Watchwerks in LA? They are probably one of the best in the business at this juncture. Edvi is good to deal with and the turnaround time is quick.

    See post #25

    Some well known members over at DWC have had some problems....1 a pretty major blunder(tho it happens). Rather not publicly drop names.

    BTW:I just had 2 watches come back from EdVi...1 great, 1 untouched without further communication.

    Sheeh...I had three vintage watches restored without issue. I'll have to ask around DWC to get the scoop as I'm about to send my Snowfkake over

    I didn't know that. I haven't followed them in a while. Maybe things have changed.
