greekgod Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 HI guys I am looking for a good replica watchsmith in Sydney to get my Pam 318 serviced as the watch has completely stopped now after 2 weeks of purchase. I did do thorough search but did not find any address of a watchsmith who is reliable for reps. Can someone shed some light on this please?? I head Marrickvilleboy works on watchs but he seems to be in the US... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 There are people in AU but not on a commercial level. They are forum members who are also watch repair people, not official forum watch repair dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 It will be a simple fix, go through the phone book and give them a ring. Tell them its a basic unitas movement 6497 and see what they asay. Otherwise you may find it easier send it back to your dealer. Though that could mean a 2 month turnaround rather than 10 minute job.

StormTooper4 Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Are you still able to wind it up? Have you tried the Palm slap? If the spring has some gunk on it, a little bit heat perhaps from a desk lamp for a few minutes might loosen it up. This is not a recommended practice by any means but it worked on one of mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greekgod Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Ok guys so I am back home like a bad coin with no luck. Incidentally the watch started working when I took it to the watch smith so I have adjusted the time. He opened the case back and said its working thats all. But I know for a fact the watch had stopped earlier for almost one day. I am not sure if he was comfortable working on it so I got it back. Basically I still want to show the watch to a good watchsmith who knows about the reps and the unitas in them. Also I want to get it serviced. So any knows watch smiths around?? Also Jkay had informed me about KB (one of the members) does anyone know anything about him? Thx guys for all ur help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynl Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I know one in Neutral Bay who's been working on my reps for the last 3 years... I would not service that mvt though...waste of money, get a Seagull 6497-2 and have it installed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
