I'd like this answer for those of us on this side of the pond. Since Ziggy retired, I'm not sure who the best choice is either.

Tom,

I would contact misiekped first. He does fantastic work. He has done several watches for me, and I have been very satisfied with his work.

Hi and thank you for all the answers. 3-4 months is a really long waiting time to be honest. Any alternatives?

 

That's not all that uncommon, not only for reps, but for gens as well.

With the amount of gen parts on this just take to any competent watch smith. I can't see why they wouldn't service it. It's a Valijoux 72 movement not a rep. They might come back and tell you, you have been a victim of fraud.

At that point just look horrified, shrug your shoulders and say "oh well I still need it serviced" :)

 

Good luck.

Interesting idea. But maybe also a bit to much risk?

Just search for a watchs smith around you and call him and explain your situation. I did it once myself and 1 out of 3 was interested and glad to fix my movement. He was somehow not very pleased about the rep in the first place but on the other hand he was extremly surprised abour the quality of the watch and he had no clue that reps of this quality do exist.

Anybody asked SSTEEL if he services the v72?

Life's a [censored], then you marry one!

He does not, and that's a pity because he's definitely a really good watchsmith and a very kind guy
