I often see members from different countries asking if others know where to get the replica's repaired. I have myself pointed quite a few Aussie members at my favourite repairman but the truth is that finding someone to work on your replica's is quite simple. I would imagine that most of the little 'hole in the wall' sole owner people would not hesitate to do the work, with no questions asked, they are after all simply trying to make a buck like you and me. I think the hardest part is swallowing a bit of pride and walking up to one of these places and simply asking "Will you do work on a replica watch for me?" What's the worst that can happen? He might say no and then you walk away never to see him again, come on now how many times did a girl say no to you and you still had to see her at school every day? There is no secret illuminati of replica watch repairers spread through out the world, the ones members recommend are simply the ones they have approached and asked themselves. Ken

Ken, I believe that you are absolutely correct. There are certainly lots of watch repair people out there, who are experienced and well trained. Unfortunately, in a lot of cases they are spending most of their time changing watch batteries! We have a guy close to where I live that is Omega trained, has good tools and seems to know what he is doing.I asked him several years ago if he would work on my rep watches. He told me that he had no problem working on any of mine that had ETA movements. His rationale about the others was the lack of parts. This poor guy is spending his life selling cheap jewelry and Quartz watches!! I bet he doesn't work on more than 25-30 mechanical watches a year. Just not that much demand out here in the country.

Here's a link to a NOS build. Beautiful: http://www.watchwallpapers.com/smrebe.htm I don't think the rep case will accept any gen parts the proportions are different. Even the dial is a couple of mm larger on the rep.

Happy new year guys! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

OMG !!! 2k for just a dial. I knew tapisserie is quite exclusive but here the law of demand & supply really kicks in hard...Actually thinkin of getting a 15400 or the Diver ...with the double AR so might need your help on that my friend [emoji6] Verzonden vanaf mijn iPad met Tapatalk

I think and I am no computer guy either "leave conversation" , get ride of them one at a time. No going back though........................

I kill off unwanted messages one at a time by clicking on the arrow beside the word 'Message' then click on 'Leave this conversation'. Next it will say "Are you sure you want to permanently leave this conversation? You won't be able to access any posts in it." Click 'Yes' and away it goes. Is this the right way or not? I do not know. I wonder how to single space text in posts...and how to get around the blurb "Drag files here to attach, or choose files" when you just want to post a comment. This does not come up on all posts. I am not a computer guy at all. Matter of fact, I feel the same way about computers as Elvis felt about television sets. I was at Graceland waaay back when they first opened it up and saw the 'television room' full of RCA television sets with Space Commander remote controls. No wonder he shot a few. It was sad...his cars were sitting around with flat tires, faded paint etc and the house was in bad condition. On Miami Vice December 13, 1985 Stan shoots a TV set with "Phil the Shill" (Phil Collins) on the TV posing as a faith healer after saying "This one's for you Elvis!"
