Hello everyone,

a few days ago I ordered my first replica watch (116610 LN Noob v10.5), while I am waiting for the pictures to arrive, I would like to ask the more experienced members, where do they service their watches?
I live in Münster, Germany and I am afraid that if I bring the replica to a watchmaker I will get denounced to the authorities. Are watchmakers entitled to call authorities if they see a replica? Am I allowed to bring replicas to watchmakers?
If anybody from the area reads this and knows a trustworthy place to service the watch in the area, please contact me.
If not, I am happy for any suggestions or advice. ????

Hello and :welcome:

There's a few watchmakers that you could send the watch to, I'm not sure if they are local enough to you to pass by but you could ask them. Take a look in the Watchmaker sub-forum. Some members have local watchmakers, some are not so lucky and have to send out (sometimes to another country).

You could also post into the German-speaking part of the forum, someone may be able to recommend there....

Lastly, there is a forum post about discretely finding a local rep friendly watchmaker.... It has a few ideas, you are right to be cautious IMO.....

All the best. Enjoy your stay, hope to see you post more.

Afaik, in case of DE you are not violating any law when servicing the rep.
dmuit would be my first choice to go.
