Rolex Sub arrived from Rikki at Time Care

My Sub 16610 came in the mail today after servicing by Rikki. Great guy to talk to on the phone. Watch feels like new, it was last serviced in 2014 at rolex service center (before I bought it). The axle went and the winding crown did not turn smoothly at all. Took about 10 days to get there via registered mail and about another 6 weeks for servicing. Couldn't be happier!

Heard nothing but good things about Rikki. Never used him personally though, glad to see he’s still doing exceptional work

Rikki is a master. He did a Panerai and B&R routine service for me this fall.

Usually less than the RSC, and he is open for business during the pandemic

Good to know ... I didn’t realize he worked on other brands. I guess I always thought of Rik as a Rolex only guy.

I’ll consider him next time I need service for other brands too

Looks great! Rikki is solid, met him in person on several occasions when I lived in Florida and needed my watches serviced. Great service and work!

I've had a watch serviced with Rik as well as my dad. I have nothing but good things to say.

OP you were very smart to send Registered, especially with the propensity for watches to simply 'vanish' once sent.

Too bad more people will not make the effort to go Registered as do you (and I).

BTW - that is a really nice reference. 5-digits rule!
