Fellas, I have a RLT 28 diver that I've had repeated problems with the mineral crystal and bezel and am at a point where I don't want to send it back to the watchmaker anymore. I contacted jack at IWW and he very kindly and quickly replied and said that they aren't taking any new repairs till later in the fall due to backlog. I'm not a watch collector and despite all the problems with this watch it keeps reasonably good time and is comfortable. I don't have any other watch than a real beater so this one does dual duty at the office and fishing. I was hoping to get it looked at within the next month or so. I'm in the milwaukee Wisconsin area but am more than happy to send it off to a reputable repair center that you might suggest. Appreciate it. Here's a link to the watch if not familiar http://www.rltwatches.co.uk/images/rlt28.jpg appreciate any help Bill

That RLT 28 is a nice watch. A watch to hold on to for sure. Just hold out for someone here at 3T should be able to direct you to some help in getting that beauty looked at. :) I have the RLT 38 chrono. So know they are very good watches. Best of luck to you. ;)

Bill, You might give Schwanke-Kasten a call. They've got a Breitling certified watchmaker that might be able to help on your RLT. 414-964-1242 Good luck with it. Hope its not taking on water... Has Roy given up??

Appreciate it guys........Schwanke is not far from me so I'll give them a try...thanks Paxman. Shortly after purchase I had condensation under the crystal and Roy was prompt in making it right. I haven't contacted him about these other issues. the shipping costs and hassle has me looking for other alternatives. thanks again bill

Paxman, just as a follow up......probably the worst customer service experience I think I ever had at Schwanke. Just getting the estimate was a nightmare. Ya know I live right around the corner from that place and was going to pick up something for my wife when I picked up the watch.........if private primarily brick and mortar retailers are going to survive they have to distinquish themselves with service. the search continues bc
