    I need a modern diver tested for leakage, might be a misfitting crystal.

    Anyone have a WM they recommend in the DFW area?

    I saw on another Forum that Time-Tech on Coit Road in N. Dallas came well recommended.

    Thanks, @TexOmega for the back-up recommendation!

    This was for my nephew's watch. The watchmaker's name is Kevin. My nephew drove out there after Kevin told him he could come out anytime, but when he got there, the shop was closed.

    I think there might have been some miscommunication, because the website for time–tech.biz says that it is by appointment only, and the hours are between nine and five Monday through Friday.

    FYI, there is a thread on another forum (u may seek) where WIS's had some positive experience at Time-Tech. Although he advertises that he specializes in high-end Swiss, he was willing to help my nephew with his micro-brand diver after he had some fogging underneath.

    My nephew has now decided to just send the watch to me, and let me take care of it with my local watchmaker that I use in North Atlanta.

    I've had great success with Kevin. Send me a PM if you have troubles reaching him.

    Where's Bob Ridley located?

    Kevin was a 45 min. drive, and not willing to drive there again, esp. after the no-show...
