70ura Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 G'day all! I've had a look and couldn't see much on this forum regarding Australian replica watch servicing/repairs. So i thought i'd create a post to ask for someone who will help me with servicing/ replacement of a movement in a replica watch. Also want some lume work done and not confident on doing it myself. Looking for someone in Brisbane, Australia ideally, but Australia in general will be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero_deficit Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Nothing at all mate sorry. Replacing movements and servicing can usually be done at those small Asian watchsmith places because they're often more than willing to work on reps. As far as quality of their service goes, it a hit and miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiverDoug Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I know a watch guy near Queen St Mall who is rep friendly. What do you need done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70ura Posted November 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Just have an old rep i think needs a new movement installed and was hoping to upgrade from my 21J 2813 to a highbeat version if i could whilst i'm there. And also the lume on it is weak as anything and will only last a matter of a few minutes even when charged for a full day in the sun. Just a general tidy up basically.

DiverDoug Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm not too sure about the lume, but I'm sure he'll replace the movement. He told me when he was working for high-end jewellers that a lot of the expensive "servicings" of high-end watches (think $1000 plus just for servicing) mostly involved replacing the movement. He was quite impressed with the quality of my PO rep I just picked up from Trevor a week or so ago, so he's pretty rep friendly. PM me some details of the watch and I'll drop by today and ask him if he'll do it. DD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
