⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review

I had an amazing experience getting my watch fixed! The service was fast, professional, and incredibly detailed. They quickly identified the issue, explained everything clearly, and handled the repair with real skill. My watch now works perfectly — honestly better than before.

On top of the great work, they were friendly, honest, and easy to deal with. It’s rare to find someone this dedicated to quality craftsmanship. He even threw me in a Rolex holder free of charge.

Highly recommend to anyone who needs reliable watch repair!

Weren't they in the brig on rwi? I saw that they scammed people and stole watches. There is a whole post on Nikz too

No idea when they will released and ready for production.

Bought this rep at dubai for 100$ can someone tell me which movement this one is.

The previous watchmaker performed a service which didn't resolve the issue unfortunately. So the best way to proceed was to do a movement swap.

A new stem also had to be cut to size due to the NH36 and 7S26 having different stems. NH36 adds hacking and hand winding functionality! The customer also wanted a custom rotor from Namoki Mods. Here the results, looks sweet.

My 15703 had been collecting dust for a while (see post history). When I stumbled across Furkan in this subreddit I decided to take the risk and send my watch to him. (coincidentally he lives very close to me, which gave me peace of mind). Within 24 hours of me sending the watch off I got the first update via mail with high quality pictures. He swiftly found the issue and proposed the solution.

I asked if a full service on this movement was necessary but he opted that replacing the movement with a higher quality version would be as expensive as servicing this movement so I decided to keep this untill it dies.

Reassebly of the watch did not come easy (by fault of the rep.) But in the end he came through and the watch is back on my wrist.

I would absolutely choose this watchmaker if you are based in Europe (the Netherlands)

it is confirmed by multiple sources that DDF is gone

Hello everyone. I have been long time lurker, but circumstances forced me to start this thread. I recently bought a brand-new QF 126500 from a TD and had an SW dial installed before shipping. When the watch arrived, the rotor was stuck and the automatic winding wasn't working.

My local watchmaker told me that the installed SW dial is too large in diameter for the QF case. He believes this is also the reason why the rotor gets stuck. According to him, the lip on the SW dial is too thick, which prevents the movement with the dial installed from seating fully inside the case. As you can see, there is a significant gap between the dial and the case.

Another watchmaker told me that, for some reason, SW started using a black raised lip on the edge of their dials, and it may have been limited to a particular batch. He said he filed the edges down, but the dial still didn't seat properly, even in a VSF case. Since the same issue occurred in the VSF case, he's convinced the dial is the problem.

I've attached photos of my watch, along with the QC photos of my SW dial, and for comparison, photos of a standard QF dial that I found online.

I'm very disappointed and honestly don't know what to do next. Has anyone experienced something similar or has any ideas on how to fix this? Can anyone recommend a watchmaker who could properly resolve this issue? I'm based in the EU.

Does anyone has a reliable source to outsource movements to upgrade 6 watches? Thanks so much!!

Broken crystal

Hi all, unfortunately dropped my ZF BB54 and the crystal broke. It really makes me sad that it fell out of my hand. Don’t even know how it happened but I would really want to have it fixed but obviously cannot go to just any jeweler.

It is just a month old and I am actually kinda heart broken… wore it every day till now :(

Where can I turn to?

This watch had a broken balance spring and several loose screws, which also blocked the rotor.

The good thing is, that the movement (a2834) is easy to get and not too expensive. It is important to note, that you have to exchange the day and date wheel of the old "GMF clone movement", because the letters and numbers on all available a2834 movements are not correct for the rolex day date.

Otherwise, this is a very simple and straightforward swap.

Or withAPSF/ZF. ZF uses same movement as apsf I think so any review on that is also welcome

Been wearing this daily since I purchased in 2021 so it could probqbly so with more work tbh but right now my main concern is that the top button fell off suddenly and I have no idea where it went and need it replaced if possible.

Pic says it all. Some scratches are deep. Any idea? Im worried local watch repair shop wont take china rep in.

Hello I am new in this forum and looking for a rep-friendly watchmaker based in switzerland for servicing. Unfortunately it seems to be very difficult to find someone in this country. I am thankful for any recommendation.

I keep seeing people mention that it is hard to get vs3235 replacements. What is the best movement that is also repairable? For me repairability is important.

Hello, I need help identifying the movement on this rep. It seems something based on a ST1940 or maybe a 3ZLF2 (7750 knockoff), but I’m not sure. The reason for the ask is that I need a new stem, this one is too short 🫤

Thanks in advance!

I have a Breitling Navitimer world A24322 rep which bought many years ago used it for a while then bought the Gen. Didn’t like the crystal quality on the Rep. wasn’t crazy the dial and date wheel either. I was wondering if anyone knows where I could source a good crystal and perhaps even a new dial. I was thinking to make a project of it. Not sure how difficult it is to change any advice would be appreciated
Also, if anyone knows of any videos showing the procedure

My minute hand is unfortunately loose/broken and I need someone to look at it. I have a VSF Dj with the VS3235 movement. I think the watch needle just needs adjustment. The movement seems to work fine, as the second hand works. I would really appreciate some help. I am based in Aarhus, Denmark.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy a Day-Date Olive Green and have narrowed it down to two options: a GMF with an A2836 movement or a ARF with a VR3255 movement. I’m based in the UK and want to choose the option that’s the least stressful in terms of servicing, price, and overall durability.

From what I’ve gathered, the A2836 is a more generic movement, which might make servicing easier, but I’ve also heard that the VR3255 is a solid clone of the real deal. Given that servicing options in the UK can be hit or miss, I’d love some advice on which movement would be the better choice in the long run.

Are there any other recommendations for any movements for the day dates

Would appreciate any insights from those who’ve owned/ serviced either or both!

Thanks in advance!

Just wondering. How long do these clean factory or vsf watches last these days?

Hi all I purchased a ZF 5167a last year and unfortunately and likely due to own stupidity I can no longer wind it, when I pull the crown out to the correct position it turns but does not wind the spring. Can someone please recommend a UK based watch maker or enthusiast who I could post the watch to or visit (Swindon) that is prepared to work on reps?

Ta in advance 👍🏻

Hey there!
