Hello Gents,
Recently stumbled upon the forum and have been drinking from a firehose with all of the amazing information here. Wow!
Here's my current pickle:
I bought a SS Yachtmaster rep ~9 years ago and have been wearing it almost daily since and it's been keeping near perfect time. Movement is Swiss ETA 2824-2 (as I recall). The crown threads are now worn/stripped after a lot of good use and in need of replacement. Would also like to replace the dial as the original dial is a bit yellow and the red lettering is all but faded away.
The place were I originally purchased is now defunct (no surprise there) so I am seeking someone that may be able to help me out with a new crown and possibly a dial. I'm in LA area but can certainly send anywhere within CONUS for servicing. Any recommendations?
Also, would consider getting a new rep if repairing my current rep is cost prohibitive. Would also like recommendations on where I might look for a great quality SS Yachtmaster rep.
Thanks in advance.
Mark
