It looks great but is it legal to put a watch on a ferret in your state?

You'd be amazed at how effective they are at winding a watch my friend!

Sadly, the itch never stops so this will probably hit the FS forum in the next few days!

No, I try not to use them unless I absolutely have to.

I used Mannie Chamosa, a very trusted Rolex watchmaker here in Dallas that other members here are using and he's been doing all my Rolex work for years.
He has my LV too, should be ready next week.

Just curious but are you not a Dallas RSC fan? Or is it because of the general costs rolex charges. I ask because I'm trying to figure out the best RSC.

It's the cost and the fact that they treat you like you are doing them a favour by being in their shop.

900 dollars for a service? No thank you.

Don't get me wrong, if there was something wrong with the watch that was deemed to be a complex repair and if the watch was sentimentally valuable to me... I would probably use them.

I just had really good experiences with Manny and I plan on sticking with him for as long as I can. I have never been disappointed with him or the service he has provided to me, plus I like supporting the indie watchmakers.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine got water inside his vintage 70s TT DJ that belonged to his now deceased father. Unknown to him, the watch started to rust inside and he had no idea until rust started to show up on the hands. (and the watch stopped running)
RSC Dallas refused to work on the watch.

Manny took it in and for 500 bucks he restored that watch to the point to where it looked just about brand new. Took him a while but it was worth it to save a family heirloom.

Now, two years later, that DJ still works beautifully. RSC saw no value in keeping that watch alive.
