Hey y'all. Used to be quite active on numerous rep fora some many years ago. Also used to service my ETA based watches. But sadly that is no longer possible. My apartment burned down, lost all my belongings including most watches and pretty much all my watch tools. Still hurts.
Anyway. I'm looking to have my franken 1665 serviced. I think it's gummy/dried out lubricant. Rotor (and manual winding) does start the watch. Timing is accurate. But it just stops after some time. Or maybe a spring issue. Not sure. I probably have a donor movement that I can ship with the watch (incase it's a mechanical issue). I believe it's the equivalent of the Tudor 2843 movement (w/ ETA stamp instead of Tudor). So anyone with ETA experience should have no issues servicing it.
Does anyone know of any reputable watch repair peoples? There used to be a lot on RepGeek but I can hardly find any. Some, but they are USA based.
Preferably Dutch but located in Europe is fine too. I don't mind bringing it to an established watch store (Netherlands) either, but IIRC most don't accept replicas. I don't mind going to one of the other rep forums either. Just need someone trustworthy who knows what he or she is doing.
Any tips, please. Suggestions. I'd love to get this watch fixed up.
