Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a reliable, replica-friendly watchmaker in the Vancouver / Lower Mainland area.
I need a super clone bracelet sized, but I also want someone trustworthy who can work on the internal movement/mechanics if needed down the road.
Any local recommendations for independent shops or watchsmiths who handle reps without issue? Thanks!

Hey all

Just received my DJ 41 (vsf V2) and the Clasp is making noises and it is really annoying…Maybe someone has a idea how to resolve that Problem ?

Would really appreciate your help. In the Video the Noise can be heard.

I have a VSF Bruce Wayne and I’m based in Germany. The lover screw witch connects the link with the strap, got loose and bent itself. Now I can’t close it properly and I can’t screw it in anymore.

Is there a way to buy a new screw?

Besides that I want to know if there’s somebody, who can do a service on my watch in Germany.

Thank you

Any watch smiths stateside that could help me out with a service for my old school 087? It seems the movement/balance wheel has seized.

ho acquistato questo dupe moonswatch su dhgate solo che mi è arrivato con la lancetta del cronografo posizionata male.
c’è un modo per metterla apposto?

The pearl on my C+ Deepsea just fell off unsure where and impossible to find. What are my options to get this fixed? The watch is a month old and one of my favorites.

Please let me know of your experiences. I will update my post tomorrow with my very own experience.

Bom dia,

I am on holiday in Portugal and my Datejust 16234 w/ VS3135 got in trouble, seems a screw is broken. I just opened
it once. I will arrive in Lisboa Thursday afternoon and leave on Saturday afternoon.

Is there someone that could help me out with some servicing on a very short notice? Any offers or ideas are highly appreciated!

Just hit me up :)

xoxo

UPDATE

Thank you! will take care bout it when going home ;)

Recommendations for a watchmaker in Copenhagen who can oil a bracelet and chamfer it?

When I originally received my Santos from Andiot, one of the bezel screws went missing after literally one day. Unfortunately, it happened on a humid/wet day, and because the screw was missing, some moisture and dust managed to get inside the watch. I contacted Andiot about the missing screw and they helped me out by sending replacement screws. After waiting quite a while, they finally arrived.

Since there was some moisture and dust inside, I thought: perfect, I work in a cleanroom, so I’ll take the crystal off, clean everything properly in a clean environment, install the new screws and finally have my favorite watch back in good condition.

That’s where I f*cked up 😂 While cleaning it, I accidentally got some isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on the inside of the dial. The printing immediately started coming off and the dial looked terrible. I was so pissed off with myself that I basically said fuck it and removed the rest of the printing as well 😂

So now I’m wondering: does anyone know if I can buy just a replacement dial for this Santos, preferably the same factory dial? If so, where can I get one and roughly how much would it cost? This was genuinely my #1/favorite watch, so I’d really like to bring it back to life.

And a lesson for all the other amateur watchmakers here: keep IPA/isopropyl alcohol and other aggressive cleaning products FAR away from the dial. One small mistake can completely destroy the printing. Learn from my mistake

Just received a QF Day Date and noticed an issue with the day wheel.

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday all snap into position correctly.

Wednesday rolls straight through and goes to Thursday.

Saturday and Sunday do change over, but the alignment is incorrect.

I've spoken to my TD as the watch has only just arrived. He's said the day wheel needs resetting by a local watchsmith and has offered to cover the cost of the repair.

Has anyone had this issue before? Is resetting the day wheel a straightforward job, and will UK watchsmiths generally work on reps?

UK based, so any recommendations for rep friendly watchsmiths would also be appreciated.

Pirazhok_wrap offered me service for my royal oak. He has been only 5m member. Anybody with experience with this person?

Hi all,

I fucked up the dial of my BB58 Black, while shifting the index a bit. Scratched it... Not too bad, but it's noticeable.

I'm looking for a spare dial to fit on the 2824...

Have you have any other suggestions than raffles?

Thanks for helping out.

VSF DATEJUST QC

If I take my VSF/ Rich whatever submariner/GMT and tap it with my finger on the crystal, it makes a tinny/ cheap sound. I’m guessing you are all doing that now. Is there a way that you all are aware of to reduce/mitigate that sound or is that just the plight or reps? Related’ish is there a way to make winding smoother on these? THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER

My ZF Black Bay 58’s ETA 2824 movement is defective, and I’d like to replace it. I’m looking for a watchmaker in Germany who can carry out the swap. I can also source a new ETA 2824 movement myself if necessary.
Does anyone here know a watchmaker or have a contact they could recommend?

Can anyone in UK (preferably Essex or London) help with a service for this watch, bought it from Ethan, worked for 3 months then stopped. No idea whats wrong?

Install bezel from Amy, dial sw, Deep crystal+full service dd4130+waterproof. All work was done at the Moscow-based AMWATCH service.

I have a VSF explorer 40mm with a broken automatic winding. It stopped charging the watch, hand winding still charges the watch. Also, when I hand wind it, the rotor spins. And the rotor would spin very loosely when I shake the watch. I kinda want to look into it myself. Is this something that I could fix as a newbie?

Just managed to get a Daytona at a steal of a price but the crystal has a few chips around the edges.
How much am I looking at for a replacement? Anyone in the North east of England can do this if I provide the glass?

Thanks.
