rikf Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I just got a Omega Planet Ocean 45.5mm Eta 2824-2 Ultimate Version but am having a really tough time readjusting the bracelet. Can anyone recommend a watch-smith in London preferably north west who is happy to work on reps? Cheers, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I can't really point you in the direction of any particular watch smiths, but I would suggest trying independent watchsmiths/jewelers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwiggum Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 You won't need a specialist to do that. Most independent jewellery shops will do that for no more than Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numptyj Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 what part is north cos there is a little booth in one of the shopping centres in harrow whos done it before on my watches. I don't think its a biggy as long as you dont go into an AD it should be fine, not sure if that place Timpson cant adjust bracelets? might be a better option if you got one close by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xanthos Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 I have taken my reps to Goldhawk Watch & Clock Repairs opposite the Goldhawk tube station. Quick and good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Excellent...likely just needed a hammer and bracelet pin driver...glad it worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanikai Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 it would benefit you financially to get a pin tool.. they are very inexpensive and even the tough UPO in will ease out like cutting butter.. with what you spend at the watch smith a couple of times you would have paid for your tool.. "Watch Bitz" in the dealers section has all the tool you need for our hobby, at very good prices.. AC/Lani Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefwiggum Posted December 10, 2009 Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 That's how I done mine Lani, it just takes a little patience. It isn't brain surgery, but when you do it yourself you feel like a brain surgeon lol. If you can't be bothered Timpson's will do it for two bob while you wait.

jmarin.72 Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 Any local independent watchsmith will do that for you,that's how i resized mine as well,for 0.50 cents of a Euro.No questions asked.Besides adjusting a bracelet can hardly be considered as working on a rep!!! no strange and mysterious looks No worries my friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
