PIle of repairs is erm piling up - Need a good UK smithy


Recommended Posts

Hi all

My to be fixed list is getting bigger and the guy I usually use is becoming unreliable so I need a helping paw. Anyone suggest a reliable and not silly expensive watch smith? Most of them are silly things like knocked out balance wheels and dropped of hands so nothing that could be charged excessively. I currently have about 7 wtches all in need of a variety of gently work.

Suggestions? :mellow:

There's a guy based in germany that has been talked about on here recently, there's a really long thread on it, but I can't for the life of me think of his name now! lol

He has been rated as good and I don't think you'd have too many problems if you shipped to Germany from the UK, although personally I'd split into 3 or 4 packages, just in case...

No worries, peeps. Just getting a bit irritated at the number of nice reps (inc my HBB Black Magic) that need medical assistance

Bricciola is in Germany. :thumbs:

Tomhighway is in the UK but I don't know him, I think he was on RC before and has his own section here, so is probably reliable :tu:

There is a new guy in the UK, I seen a thread about him just the other week. He used to work as a watchmaker for Omega, then went solo. His CV sounds pretty impressive.

I'm buggered if I can remember his name right now though. Try searching for it, it wasn't all that long ago, both Ken and I think Offshore both were happy with him being on the board, but were not endorsing him!! *important point*.

Man I wish I could remember his name, I'll have a shufty around and see if I can dig the thread up again for you bud!

Sixx :bones:

Good shout Dog, sorry guys, never heard the neg feedback he had been given.

Domi in Germany is very good, I spoke to him before he went on vacation about sending a few pieces his way. It looks like he is going to be our best bet for a good while, or until FXRAndy finishes his training!! ;)
