Nex_necO Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Hi all! I have stalked the forums for some days and bought my self an IWC Ingeniuer. (Haven't arrived yet) In that respect, do any of the other Norwegian board members know of a watchmaker in the vicinity of Oslo that wouldn't mind working on replicas? The DW swap, and so on. I seam to have hit gold when I stumbled upon this forum Best regards Nex
FxrAndy Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Solid Gold mate, you will love that Ingy, have a look at my sig and see how close it is to the gen, Welcome to RWG, hold onto your walet, There are a number of members around your way that may be able to help on the watch maker front.
Nex_necO Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Posted July 9, 2008 I've read that post of yours probably 10 times.. hehe One of the reasons I went for the Ingy. Great post.

Dani Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Velkommen. We will soon need a Norway GTG. Their is almost no people that will work on reps in Norway i have search all over Oslo and areas around. Cheers
chrgod Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Welcome Viking! I actually have a rep friendly watch smith here in Stavanger.. But I started out letting him work on my vintage gens and built up a sort of relationship with him before I bought in my replicas. My watch smith is a 65 year old guy, and have an amazing store.. Really old-school! I think many watch smiths would be suspicious working on replicas from a stranger. They expect unknown, fragile Chinese movements with a great risk of failure during work. But, actually, few of my replicas have needed work. For service and upgrades, I rather send them to The Zigmeisterzumba. Another attempt at a Norwegian GTG would be nice!
Nex_necO Posted July 11, 2008 Author Report Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Yes it seams to be quite a few "vikings" lurking the boards. Has it ever been a Norwegian GTG? Edited July 11, 2008 by Nex_necO
chrgod Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Yes it seams to be quite a few "vikings" lurking the boards. Has it ever been a Norwegian GTG? A Norwegian GTG was attempted about two years ago (in the days when "Gran" was still around), but I think that it ran out in the sand. Could not get together enough members.
