Seasons greetings from London

I'm a watch lover, even an addict, but sadly I can't pay for my addiction.

I'd like to find someone I could trust to rebuild my replica sub with a reliable movement like the ETA.

Anyone UK based could help me out?

Welcome to RWG, and Seasons Greetings to you too from a fellow UK guy in Finland

 

Look up UK Watch Services.

Nice one, thanks.

So I looked up UK Watch Services, and found the 11 page thread on Repgeek about the shocking service from them. Interesting that you (SSTEEL) contributed to that thread too.

 

So is there anyone else in the UK?

I've not read that thread, so can't comment. I have had experience with them and whilst I have had to return the watch several times to correct issues I can't really say that the service is bad, they have made a lot of effort to get it right for me. They are a TD watchsmith on RWI, so have a read of feedback there before you make your mind up.....

 

.....they are the only TD watchsmith on RWG, so if you don't want to use them why not SSTEEL (not a TD), but I can recommend him (and so will others on here...) and the posting to Finland doesn't take much longer than to somewhere in the UK.

You sure that thread you refer to is of UK Watch Services's UK Watch Services, or are you mixing that other UK watchmaker near the circus, Al, his name is. Username msm1

 

What happened to the watchmaker in Oxford circus thread??

I've yet to see a bad report about UK Watch Services (and yes, I've used them myself). I think you must be mixing them up with someone else. UK Watch Services is a trusted dealer here - check out their subforum for feedback.

Ayrshire.... Just pleasantly rolls off the toungue, doesn't it? Ayrshire. Ayrshire. Ayrshire.

What's a toungue?

If I read this correctly Alex is the son and Alan is his father, the retired Omega guy.

But it appears to be Alex Thomas, not Waller, so I'm wrong and would like to unreservedly apologise!

If funds are an issue, rebuilding a rep with an ETA movt might not be the most economic route, unless your Sub is particularly high end, in which case why was the movement poor? Just saying as Asian ETA clones can be had for modest money. An Asian ETA movt is over 100 bucks and a Swiss movt (if there is such a thing these days!) is north of $250. Add in the labour cost etc etc and then add it up......

Just a thought. A new one from a TD might be a better option.
