SSTEEL 0 Posted January 19, 2015 Sadly there is a distinct lack of any rep friendly watchmakers in Australia. I have several satisfied customer from there though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kemist 0 Posted January 22, 2015 which part of Australia mate? i just picked up my 15300 from service today Can you tell us more? I'm in Adelaide. It'd be a fantastic news for all of our Ozie members here if there's a Australia rep-friendly watchmaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted January 22, 2015 There are none that I know of in Adelaide. I sent my watches to Goin in Taiwan (he is on RWI) who did a good job but it takes a while (ie months). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep unfortunately there is a definitely lack in Aus. I can vouch for SSTEEL though as I am one of his very happy customers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enochulate 0 Posted March 3, 2015 how about west/north of Melbourne or in the city? I just stumbled to this site and waiting on my first rep. i'll check moorabin if there's none closer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henrychinaski 2 Posted March 18, 2015 Just spoke to Stewart Dawson in Moorabbin about waterproof testing my Black Bay. He said it's basically all bollocks and a bit of a scam...explained the process and said that the main problem is whether or not the watch is hot before going into the water. And that any issues will be in the first metre, not in the next 50m. I explained that it's a rep, what kind, screw in crown and caseback, no chrono pushers and that I'd silicone greased the O ring when it arrived etc... Seemed like a good bloke though. If I need any servicing done I'll be seeing him that's for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrish8 0 Posted March 18, 2015 Sorry I am just curious if you have done any searching on your own or just prefer to ask the questions in the general forum as you have already been called out for doing that on multiple occasions? I'm sorry if that sounds like I am a dick I am really just curious. I typed in your exact questions and came out with not just 1 but multiple threads; Here you go http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=94468 http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=57687 http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=75973 http://www.rwg.bz/bo...showtopic=18560 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jakethemouse 0 Posted October 20, 2015 This thread has been useful for me. I've been looking for someone in Sydney who can relume or watch repairs on reps. I've been afraid to ask the watch repair shops in my area. Interested to give the two mentioned ago.

AwwGee 0 Posted October 20, 2015 Thanks for the info. In Sydney aswell. I considered sending my a7750 to Domi or UK watch services and KATT, but a lot use ship forwarding And sending to the U.S. poses a customs consfications risk aswell. Having an AUS Repairer/Modder would be fantastic. I'm going to try George, as Hornsby is a bit of treck to get to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
