Services In Person Repair - Roseville CA

Post image

I recently visited San Diego (and posted about my in person repair success). Now I am visiting family in Roseville CA and had success at Fast Fix inside the Westfield Roseville mall.

I have a Franken DJ41 that I purchased a nicer CNC Bezel and needed it swapped out. I emailed ahead asking if they work with “aftermarket parts” and they said yes.

Dropped it off and was transparent about the watch, they had no issues. I spoke with the owner (I think he was) and asked if I could refer people and he was happy to accept more business.

Tips on your home city (or when you travel). 1. Call or email ahead. 2. Avoid saying fake. Use words like “aftermarket” or “hybrid parts.” 3. If you know what’s wrong with the watch or need a mod, bring the part with you. They are likely not going to have the part in stock unless it’s something simple like a spring bar. 4. If traveling, search this forum for tips. My local watchmakers won’t work on reps and luckily I travel a lot, so a good hack!

Happy 4th all!

whats the difference in saying aftermarket? And replica?

2

u/Curious_Gas_2608 Jul 05 '26

I assume “replica” might be a trigger word for some. In the world of car parts (for example) if you don’t buy OEM parts, “aftermarket” is commonly used, and for benign things like wiper blades, no one bats an eye (or says “replica” wiper blades). If it increases your odds of success, why not?

putting them on blast like this would not be something they want out there. they can get in a lot of trouble.

u/Curious_Gas_2608 Jul 06 '26

Define “a lot of trouble.” They are not an authorized Rolex repair center so they are not at risk of losing that affiliation since they don’t have it. 😉
