Search Results for ‘watch repair’

Some weeks ago I did something I have now come to regret: instead of sending a perhaps novel, but movement-wise generally ubiquitous, watch to my certified Rolex repair man in upstate New York, I searched for a new repair center locally. I work/live as an Attorney in Long Island/Manhattan...

Hi there, I have my grandfathers watch and I could not identify the model of the watch. It is currently broken, and I was wondering if it was worth to repair it. It look pretty beat up, and it doesn't require a battery to operate. Thanks

I have an Omega Speedy Pro 3570.50 that I had serviced a year ago this month. Since then, it has ran at +2 seconds/day which I considered to be pretty good. I accidentally dropped it the other week and now it is running at -2 minutes. I took it in to my local master watch maker and they informed...

Hello, New to the forum. I have an Omega Speedmaster Professional Mark II in need of crystal replacement and refinishing the front face. I am looking for reference of a reputable watchmaker in the west coast, or even the East coast. I really appreciate any info.

Hi guys I've sent numerous emails to eBay sellers (selling the same watch) and overseas vintage watch repairers trying to track down a replacement crown for my dad's JLC Memovox Pocket Alarm (60s). See pic. To date I've had no replies. :-( Any ideas of any other avenues I could try (aside...

Could someone please share your expert knowledge on how to read this oiling or lubricating symbols (See image below)? Also, are they standard use of this symbols (I am assuming so because where I see these symbols on Ronda watch movement technical guide it doesn't come with an explanation on...

Hi! I am relatively new to watch collecting. I am wondering who people turn to for watch repair. I have use Mark Sirianni at http://www.watchdoctor.biz and have had great service, but I was wondering who else is good and reasonably priced. Thanks!

Hi ya all, joined your forum today and am a relative newbie to the appreciation of time pieces. I have just acquired a GP gyromatic 39j 9ct. The watch requires a service and a replacement bezel. Obviously I'd like an original bezel but would be happy with a generic 9ct gold plated one. Can any...

Hi fellow readers, First off, I'm not sure if this question is apt for the watchmaking forum, or if I should post it in the general or sale areas, but I will go ahead and ask to the this crowd. Please let me know if there is a better forum for this question. I purchased a Unitas 6498...

Hey all, I have recently purchased a Raketa 2609.HA movement watch. At the start, when I first bought it, it was running fine, only losing max about 50 seconds per day. Now, it's gaining time at ridiculous speed, like one-two seconds gained per minute, or close to two hours per day. I have had...

Hi all, I am looking for an independent watchmaker who is able to service an Omega Speedmaster Professional watch. The issue is that I am away from the "civilized" world and cannot come to a repair shop in person, need to post my watch and get it sent back to me when ready with a reliable mail...

Hi all: After researching on WUS, I ended up choosing Nesbit's in Seattle to do the first service on my Seamaster, bought brand new by me in 1997 (photo below, pre-service). Communications with them were excellent and generated nearly immediate responses. I "tested" them by sending an email...

I was hoping someone could help me out with a good watch repairman/maker in Phoenix, AZ. I may want to switch out the movement on a Pan homage and start a custom project on something else. I hate tooling marks and such, so I'm looking for someone who takes pride in their Art/Science and is oh...
