gsiguy Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Hi Everyone, I'm fairly noob in this forum but i have been doing searches, on the forum and on the 'net, looking for someone in Singapore who can test the waterproofing claims of certain reps, but without any result. You see, i have some reps coming to me and i would like to be able to swim with them. For peace of mind, i'd really like to make sure they are waterproof (at least in a swimming pool). I know it's a tad sensistive to reveal watchsmith shops that work with reps on the forum (same reason i don't start calling local watchsmiths up and asking if they would test my rep), so if anyone knows a rep-friendly watchsmith in Singapore who can do the waterproof/pressure test, i'd be ever so grateful if you could PM me! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netniet Posted November 29, 2013 Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 Maybe you can contact Andrew (Trusty), he is located in Singapore as far as I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsiguy Posted November 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Maybe you can contact Andrew (Trusty), he is located in Singapore as far as I know I tried. He says he has no contact in Singapore. And, yes, the watches i am waiting for are coming from him...

cc33 Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Spinmaster is in Singapore and has that equipment, I'm just not sure if anyone has heard from him lately spinmaster91@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Im thinking of getting a pressure maybe next month. Probably I can offer it as a service to local members soon? If you want one, give me a yell and I can arrange a VERY good price to get one shipped into Singapore. Make sure you get the good version as there is one really bad tester around atm.

gsiguy Posted December 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Spinmaster is in Singapore and has that equipment, I'm just not sure if anyone has heard from him lately spinmaster91@gmail.com I tried contacting Spin on RWI but his inbox is full. Looks like he's AWOL. I'll try his email... Thanks! Im thinking of getting a pressure maybe next month. Probably I can offer it as a service to local members soon? Really? Wow! That's really nice of you! lemme know if you you're really setting up this service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsiguy Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Sigh! After I replied Spin's email and told him what I needed done, I got no reply... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsiguy Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Ok, since i had a problem with a "1:1" BR03 Type Aviation (real disappointment!), i brought it down to a shop mentioned in RWI forum once and struck up a conversation. He's working out or temporary premises for now but says that once he gets back to his old shop location, he'll set up his waterproof tester thingamajik. That should be 6 months from now. So maybe no swimming with the watches for now... He outsources any 7750 movement work, and says local smiths are abit "hit-and-miss" for this movement. He said he may consider sending movements overseas for servicing. Don't know if he's proficient with other movements but i notice he does carry alot of movements and parts. Well, anyway, if you need some basic work done cheap with a rep friendly 'smith, then PM me and i'll give you his contact.

Thats good to hear mate...that you are striking out and willing to share Appreciate it With Spin mate...be a little more patient mate... especially at this time of year.... you can imagine how many emails he gets...and how many time wasters...then other issues that email can generate..going to spam folders... etc plus on top of that work load...personal life... etc etc He may even have posted somewhere or someone posted for him that he wont be getting abck into till x date etc I am sure he will reply ... I normally wait a week maybe longer to get a reply then if not I just resend it rather than spend a few lines saying how I had already tried contacting..it can come across wrong and isnt really relevant... Give him a few more days mate... and you will be swimming in no time :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent email and pm on rwi more than a week ago, and then pm'd him here but still no response. But so long as cartel 1675 & 5512s are not going outta stock, I can wait. Thanks, PeteM. You've been most supportive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
