Major_Error Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Hi! Do anyone know a clockmaker in Norway that can take a job? I would prefer Oslo, but inside Norway could do... 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmuh Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hei, I am also looking for a Oslo watch maker that can service my watches. I have not yet asked the watch service shop in Tordenskjoldsgate right next to Raadhuset. It seems to be a generic / "no brand" watch service shop with a man in his 60's servicing all kinds of watches. Let's keep each other informed..!

Major_Error Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 My colleague bought a Carrera that needed a check after its arrival. This went to an abandoned watchmaker in Storgaten. Across the street of SpaceWorld by Oslo City, (City? Oslo is a town!). This store did at this time contain a travel agency. But out of the smoke from the back door; the watch maker came! Boooh! I visited this shop on Thursday. Unfortunately; closed down! Nothing left! Just an empty room. Let us check out what we can find!

timj Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 Have you guys found anything? I'm about to get inn to the world of reps, and don't know where to service the watches in Norway:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Error Posted November 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 It is not often you are in need of service on reps. I have some, and there are only once I have been in need. I am still looking around, when I have the time. My best advice for you, at this time, is to look around when you are in town. Unfortunately there are fewer and fewer watchmakers around. Replacing battery is the most heavy work. I had a battery replacement on my Tissot T-Touch. I had to adjust it my self! Keep your eyes open, you too! Then there are more of us looking! 8-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timj Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 The watchmakers in Norway are hopeless, I tried to find someone to service my gen Raymond Weil, but no luck... Maybe Sweden is the place to go?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major_Error Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 A gen! That should not be any problems! Try "http://www.briljant.no/" "Briljant Ur og Gull" at Frogner. I would be very surprised if they do not help with your gen Raymond.... I have used "Briljant Ur og Gull" before and will give them the best recommendation.

timj Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Takk:-) Will try them.... Guess there is no point in trying to deliver a rep to them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timj Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Tragisk... Men har noen testet å levere en rep hos en vanlig urmaker?? Hadde vært greit om det var ett sted å få tatt service... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smab Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Hei. Leverte min første rep til en lokal urforhandler/urmaker i Trondheim for noen år siden, for å få justert lenken. jeg hadde ikke peiling selv, men fant siden ut at det var temmelig enkelt, med en miniatyr-skrutrekker. Dette var en SuperOcean, med skrudd lenke. Verre med Omega og TAG, som har stort sett bare pinnelås i lenkene sine. De må man kanskje til urmaker for å justere, men det er mulig å utføre selv, med litt ekstra verktøy. Urmakeren påsto at skruene satt fast og han fikk ikke justert den. Foreslo å levere den der jeg hadde kjøpt den, men i min villfarelse (jeg var sylfersk på området) sa jeg rett ut at dette var en replica og at den ikke var kjøpt der han trodde (vi har en Breitling forhandler i Trh). Skulle vel heller sagt at jeg hadde kjøpt den i utlandet eller noe. Så ikke ut som han skjønte at det var en rep med det samme. Jeg sa også at det er et sveitsisk urverk i den, og hvor mye jeg hadde betalt (350USD), og han mente at det var vel temmelig lite sannsynlig og at jeg nok hadde betalt alt for mye for en klokke som ville slutte å virke etter en liten stund. åpnet selv opp klokka for en tid tilbake, og det er altså et ekte ETA 2836-2 urverk i den. Den har også gått "som en klokke" i over 3 og et halvt år, etter at jeg kjøpte den. Men etter så lang tid begynner den nå å sakke litt akterut, altså taper den litt for mange sekunder hvert døgn. Det blir slitsomt å drive å stille den frem. Hadde vært bedre om den gikk for fort. Det er nok tid for service av urverket snart, men jeg er også i villrede. Hvor?? Noen på forumet foreslår å sende den til "The Zigmeister" (en på forumet som fikser ur for medlemmer her), men det er visst i Tyskland eller østerike. Kanskje ikke helt trygt å sende over landegrensene, frakt er også dyrt. Så hjelp: noen gode gamle, urmakere i Norge, uten fordommer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
