So I finally met with the man everyone recommends so highly, Rikki !

I read a lot about him thru these forums (along with few other selected names) & found out he is somewhat local to me, 30 min drive from my place of work and 1 hour from my home area. I contacted him by phone and mentioned I might stop up the following afternoon which I did & brought all 3 of my watches with me. He examined each and ran them thru his timegrapher and I found out all 3 were magnetized so he demagnetized each one. Learned a few others things thru our brief encounter & the guy really knows his stuff. I can see how everyone speaks highly about him, at least I now know where to take my watches instead of mailing them out for service
