Mick M Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi. I'm new to the website and am interested in some advice on repair. I just received my first rep a Classic Sub ETA movement and received it with a dimple/nick in the sapphire crystal as well as a very loose bezel. Can anyone suggest anyone on the site who does these sort of repairs, or IF these things can be repaired? I realize there are inherent risks when purchasing reps and I guess I'm having a somewhat shaky first buying experience. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Guest overboosted Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Was it bought from a dealer here? As I am sure he/she would kindly help you out with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick M Posted April 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hi Mick, RedBigJoe is who you're looking for. It's easy-squeasy to tighten up the bezel, and replacing the sapphire is not tough job either. RBJ can set you up. This *is* a new model with sapphire right? The older ones are domed plexiglass... Thanks so much for your reply Nanug. I'm not educated enought to know if it's an older model or not, but I bought it on perfect-clones and the description was 'sapphire crystal'. If knowing the movement makes desciphering between a newer or older model, the movement is ETA 2836-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did buy it from a dealer here and just sent an email. Thanks for the suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
