Zephers1 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Hi All, Just wondering if anyone would recommend a watchmaker in Australia that is happy to work on reps. I figure it's easier (and quicker) than sending it to the other side other type of the globe... Thanks in advance
Zephers1 Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Posted September 12, 2014 Doesn't have to be Brisbane, just seeing if there was someone within Australia.
Zephers1 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Report Posted September 13, 2014 Ok, since there's nobody in Australia has anyone got any recommendations worldwide who are responsive and reliable?
mjmj Posted September 13, 2014 Report Posted September 13, 2014 I know of a couple of watch repairers in WA 1
paneristi_man Posted September 14, 2014 Report Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I just found one in Melbourne. Have sent a watch but not got it back yet so can't comment on how good. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Edited September 14, 2014 by paneristi_man

Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Ok I can report back, this watch repair which I found in Melbourne was able to fix my DSSD which had stopped running. The winding is now very smooth and watch runs perfectly. The only gripe is she is quite slow in her work, maybe lots of banked up jobs. Expect in excess on one month for repair job.
Mike on a bike Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 Sounds fast compared to the backup w/ some of our guys.
Kck74 Posted December 2, 2014 Report Posted December 2, 2014 Hi Paneristi_Man, My family and I are moving to Perth in the new year. Any chance of a PM of who they are? Regards Kev

bwhitesox Posted December 4, 2014 Report Posted December 4, 2014 (edited) Opti there is a little watch shop in Melbourne on the Russell street side of 120 Collins Street called 'Bob the Watchmaker' and he will work on reps, He is from Hong Kong and is a great guy and very rep friendly.
