Mubeen Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Hi guys, I bought an Omega 45mm UPO a while ago and while it works perfectly, i noticed the now well known flaw on the dial font. I contacted the dealer and he rightly suggested to get the dial changed locally rather than posting the watch back and forth. This would only be expensive and create unnecessary risk of customs. So the dealer kindly offered to send me the correct dial. I havent received it yet, but it will arrive soon. Now i am looking for someone in EU, best if in UK, to change the UPO dial for me and, while at it, also change the crystal to gen. I will buy the gen crystal and will send with the watch. I understand that TomHighway is the resident watchmaker in EU. I sent him a couple of emails but no response so far. I suppose either he is on holidays or too busy. So any suggestions or advice on watchmakers in EU will be appreciated. Thanks Mubeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deniz21 Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 hi mubben, contact Bricciola, he is in germany, but that is no problem when you are in UK and he can do this what you want to change . denz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arniezac Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 I can highly recommend Bric, he serviced my UPO and stripped the crystal of AR in September and was great to deal with. No risk of customs either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubeen Posted January 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 How is his AR compared to the standard UPO rep AR? Has anyone got the UPO AR'd by him? If yes, some pics would be really helpful. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbjoer Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 I've had a few watches ARed through him, but no Omega. He is a really good guy, but English is not his strongest point. If you are able to communicate in German or Italian that is better. Quality is really good. Unfortunately I do not have a comparison to the work others perform, but here are a couple of other watches I got from him: He does not do the AR himself though. I use him as my general watchsmith and using him for AR saves me having to fiddle with the watch myself (which would most probably turn into a very costly saving in my case.... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
