Slim 0 Posted February 12, 2011 I have an indifferent Daytona replica, which I think I've posted a photo of somewhere on this site, that needs some attention. Specifically, the hour hand sticks against one of the subdial hands when the subdial hand in question is pointing in a particular direction, and stops there. I'm sure that must be fixable. Additionally, I'd like (if possible) to freeze the (central) second hand at 12, so it looks like the real deal without the chrono running. I would be happy to approach Brightlight for a quote for this job, but he's not taking on new work right now, as he announced in his section. So does anyone know of someone able to do this work on a replica who's based in the UK? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gianton 14 Posted February 13, 2011 Aris911 can do this, he is based in Greece so no problems with customs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can't go wrong sending him your watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 81 Posted February 14, 2011 Aris911 has also been a full-time watchmaker for many years. I know Greece seems a long way away, but once it's in the mail, what's the difference? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off the top of my head: time taken to post both ways, risk of loss, currency exchange charges. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These issues are inherent in any rep buying, if you can't get used to them it might ends up being really frustrating. For example, what if you want to get a crystal AR treated? You'll have no choice but sending the watch abroad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slim 0 Posted February 14, 2011 Yes, but firstly: I'm not buying a rep here, I just want some attention to one I already have. I have bought replicas from abroad, since there's a lot more choice that way. Secondly, I don't need to have a crystal AR-treated, although I'm surprised that no-one in the UK can do that. Grateful for the replies, I might well ask Aris911 if I can't find a repairer in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
