Another Norwegian n00b


Recommended Posts

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

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!

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.
