juan.sidarta Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 So I bought my BK/TC Modded Sub from a member here, and it came broken as the movement is not working. He likes in Germany and I in US, so a refund would not be possible as he argues that the customs there would destroy it. I brought it to the watch maker/repair shop today and he said that it would cost 180 (2-3 weeks) to repair and the face was scratched. So i'm thinking of getting a new swiss 2836-2 movement and dial to put it into the watch. Any suggestions?! Let me know ASAP please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Thats why I try to steer away from any conus deals if possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 The parts in a Swiss ETA watch are only a few dollars each. The reason having Swiss ETA movements in our replicas is desirable is because they can be repaired. Why not pay to have BK fix it himself? He's in the USA. I swear it won't be 180. Write him and ask.

HartDoc Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yeah, I would contact Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbh Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 You need a new watchmaker. Full service on an Eta movement should be less than $100. By the way, TC and BK Subs are two entirely different watches. Better find out what you have before you try to send it to Bert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juan.sidarta Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I know they are, so its modded with both sides. The casing and crown is a TC crown, but the movement is a Eta2836-2 movement which is used by BK. Apparently the seller tried to combine the best of both worlds. So I really don't know what to do. And I am new to this, so about the watchmaker, I just went to one that was 5 stars and close to me on yelp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jkay Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 So if you have some kind of combination watch that's been tampered with and potentially wrecked by a bad modder, send it off to a trusted forum modder for fixing.
