10 weeks in custom watchmaking is about where I'd start. Nothing happens quickly

He does cases too? That's new to me. Have you tried contacting him personally?

Just be patient. Mike does take a LONG time but I've never heard of him not finishing a job.

I just sent 3 to him yesterday! I'm planning on getting them back in January.
Fingers crossed!

I got an estimate on a band today...2 to 3 months. Seems like a while, but it's ok by me given his reputation and price.

It all depends on his current workload. He told me 8 weeks for my 6636, but it took only 3 weeks! That's including shipping back and forth. I think that might be a record.

Just quoting with him. Asked me to be patient, 10 weeks turnaround, can be more...he works with few people. And the world is sending him watches. Guy is very serious. Give him time and credit.
