Brownguy52 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 my mum got me 2 rolexs from egypt which are replicas. I've had the links removed so they actually fit me. But both constantly seem to stop and i have to reset them/shake them a bit to work. Is there anyway a UK watch shop can fix this issue?

freddy333 Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Probably, but it depends on what the problem is (most reps come with dirty/unserviced movements) & what type of movement it has. Most likely, these are low-end reps that are powered by generic Asian movements. In that case, I would either replace the movement with an ETA (assuming the cases are at least made well) or replace the reps. Many watchmakers will work on an ETA-powered rep, because parts are available, but not on generic movements, because parts, if even available, are very difficult to source & the cost of repair will far exceed the value of the rep.
