I too get 32 results. They are, however, mostly people with the same question as Brent.

There's a couple of addresses in this thread but I'm not from OZ so I can't say for sure if they're reliable or not, I think the general opinion is to try find some local watch repair guy and ask him if he'll work on reps, maybe if you walk into his (or her) shop, be polite and a little ass kissing won't do any harm.

 

What the worst thing that can happen?? He'll just say no, he may even know someone who does. Let's face it, if he wants the work I'm sure he'll do it, we've all got bills to pay.

 

Good luck mate

Mate, how did you go?

I have an PO Blue Ti that has copped 3 years of beating... crown will not screw in and the bezel needs some serious paint repairs.. who would you recommend?

 

Purchased through Trusty Time and this watch has not missed a beat! 3 years daily beater as a Harbour Master, so I was constantly sticking it underwater, brushing it against steel boats etc... it copped a flogging and is still going.

 

I need to have it refurbished.

Where are you? In Melbourne there's a place called a "watch in time" who seem to be rep friendly, they have a website too

I have my B&R 123 in at a local guy in Surfers Paradise, H&S jewellers ( I think it’s a chain) for a crystal replacement. He asked if it was gen, I told him it was a rep and he had no issue working on it. 

Not sure about servicing though. 

I guess it may depend on movement used in watch

@brang1 when I go pick up the B&R I can ask if my local guy will service reps if you like. 

Should only be a $15 round trip on postage

Exploded in my watch box, happened to someone else who bought the same watch. I’m guessing yours is fine?

They are fitting a domed plexi to it. Let’s see that explode

I mentioned it but didn’t ask him to do anything about it. Cost of shipping and wait till we’re not worth it. 

Not like it was his fault

Just an update for the Melbourne guys, http://awatchintime.com.au/

Spoke to a bloke named Kevin and he says he has serviced replica swiss movements but will only touch high-end reps, you'll have to bring the watch in for him to have a look before he proceeds though.

Any other Melbourne based rep friendly repairers/modders/servicers you can recommend?
