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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brang1 3,941 Posted November 27, 2016 CHEERS to all, thank you for all the info, like PickledBeetroot says, i will just ask, maybe shoot of a couple of emails and test the water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bushwacka81 0 Posted July 2, 2017 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In Melbourne there's a place called a "watch in time" who seem to be rep friendly, they have a website too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chixisigma 461 Posted May 2, 2018 Is there any updated information available for this thread?? I know there's a few active Aussie members. Where do you blokes get ya watches serviced/repaired? @Thommo82 @brang1 @k3rm87 etc. Cheers, Chi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo82 1,397 Posted May 2, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thommo82 1,397 Posted May 2, 2018 @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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any other Melbourne based rep friendly repairers/modders/servicers you can recommend? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
