So I just got myself a DJ and would like to kick off things right by having it serviced/polished. A few folks here have mentioned Mr. Gallagher's name on here and I'd like to know what your experiences have been like with him. I'm thinking about giving him a call later on this evening.

Rscmaine · 15 January 2010, 08:33 PM

I'm the guy who introduced Andrew to the Forum.

He worked 5 years for Cartier and 5 years on the RSC Dallas bench - and is exactly as good as that record would imply.

He lives way out in the woods in Maine raising kids and poultry and is a heck of a nice guy. You will not be disappointed.

USP45Tim · 16 January 2010, 11:55 AM

Anybody else?

Rscmaine · 16 January 2010, 11:33 PM

I doubt that Andrew has a national following - he doesn't advertise and gets most of his work in referral from jewelers.

Contact Marcel Morin - owns the "Jewelers Bench" in Lewiston Maine (207) 786 2213
[email protected] He has sent about a dozen pieces to Andrew and is a good guy himself. Tell him Nat sent you.

I first heard of Andrew from the owner of Kennebec Jewelry and Repair in Farmingdale Maine (207) 582 5200.

Andrew is a one man band working out of his house (like so many people up here in the 1950's) - he and his wife home school their 4 very polite kids.

Here's the google maps street view of his road...he lives (as if it were possible) even farther out "in the woods" than I do - http://maps.google.com/maps?tab=ml

Thanks Nat, I've gotten a few e-mails with questions, so I figured I would log in and "show myself". I'll be happy to answer any Rolex / general watch questions anybody has. Or let you peek into the very unusual world that we watchmakers live in.

RolexPete · 20 January 2010, 06:06 AM

Hey Andrew! Welcome to the forum. Expect your business to pick up if you get yourself a reputation around here.

TimeToGo · 20 January 2010, 06:13 AM

Howdy, Tim!

Welcome to the Forum - Andrew!

Thanks for the recommendation - Nat!

Good Night, John Boy!

Welcome aboard Andrew! God help you - a watchmaker on this forum is like a gerontologist at Bingo night - get ready for the questions...

Seriously, hope you enjoy the place!

Numismatist · 20 January 2010, 07:07 AM

Hi Andrew from another Mainah!

Highhorology · 20 January 2010, 07:13 AM

Okay, I'm all ears. Thanks for the welcome aboard! There's a fair a mount of misconception out there about watches, so I'll do my best to do some straight shootin!

Rscmaine · 20 January 2010, 07:17 AM

Might I suggest starting a new thread (when you can devote a couple of hours) and introduce yourself and offer to answer Rolex related questions.

I am fairly certain that we have never had an actual RSC tech on the board and I know there would be great interest.

Start a thread on the General Discussion board and sit back.

Sounds like fun, what's a good heading? Watchmaker sits on ivory tower?

RolexPete · 20 January 2010, 07:37 AM

Or you could post in the Watchtech sub-forum

TimeToGo · 20 January 2010, 07:39 AM

We recently had a Watchmaker do the same thing. Look at the thread below:

But I think Andrew actually worked for Rolex, doesn't appear the other guy has.

newmedia · 20 January 2010, 07:57 AM

more service options we have , the better, welcome to TRF and thank you!

Highhorology · 20 January 2010, 08:00 AM

Yes, I had already stumbled onto that thread already, interesting. I guess I'll have to think on it a little. I did work inside and was trained by Rolex, so I guess that is my most unique view that I have to offer. Being an on the outside of Rolex looking in has also been an enlightening experience too. I guess you could say that the pendulum has swung in both directions in my career.

dieselophile · 26 March 2010, 04:02 AM

I joined TRF and read about Andrew from the posts above. My 6 year old SS submariner needed a service and I sent it to Mr Gallagher who just finished servicing it. I just got my beloved watch back and am extremely pleased with it - its pristine again and I am assured that it has been finely regulated for accurate time.
Thank you Andrew!
