Replica repairs / mods in the UK

[Slim 0]

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?

Aris911 can do this, he is based in Greece so no problems with customs.

Thanks, but I would hope that there someone a bit closer than Greece who can handle this sort of thing

Not in the UK, but Domi and Finedd are both ecxellent for repairs and mods,

based in Germany.

To Germany your watch you must send :wanker:

 

Domi is not some kind of Mr. Fix-it, he is a real watchmaker, one who graduated from a real watch school and who has been running his own shop for years. You can't go wrong sending him your watch.

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?

Also very nice to have him around, real watchmakers are rare in the rep world!

[greg_r 81]

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

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.

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.
