dieselpower Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 As I have recently said, I've been out of the loupe (!) for a while. Is there a recommended servicer/modder here in the UK? Any advices appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Mate I aint trying to be clever here.. but if you go to the General Discussion section... there are a few threads some very recent regarding watch smiths in UK... Most of what I read didnt bring to light any modders.... a few lume guys and a few rep friendly watchsmiths... there was a guy on RWG that was in UK but i think he has stopped doing it... it mainly depended where you were located as most would only deal face to face... The best guy IMHO within EU is Domi.... especially with Rolexs and APs.... he is a watchsmith by trade and has worked for some high end marques.... He is a big Rolex lover so he seems to excel at doing work on these... though i use him for PAMs and other brands.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieselpower Posted August 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks for advices. I know Domi and have used him before - he's a good guy. He has a 6263 project of mine at the moment, can't wait for that one to be finished! The thing is I have a 1665 SD that has stopped running, hopefully just needs a service. I have a good watchsmith in Bond St London but he won't touch reps. All I need is a service for this one and frankly it is probably a little below Domi's skills, also was hoping to find someone in the UK, makes no difference I suppose postage is postage but Domi is so busy at the moment and I am rapidly running out of working watches!

rrari1 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 There are a bunch of watchsmiths around clerkenwell who are worth trying. I have had them service one of my vintage gens. Not sure of the store name , but it is near the corner of clerkenwell road and st John street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
