Any UK modders or watchmakers out there?

My latest purchase is a Speedmaster Co-Axial.

After rejecting the first example at QC stage, the second watch is perfect other than the 12 o'clock hour marker is slightly misaligned. Other than that the watch looks perfect but it's one of those things that I know will always bug me.

Can anyone recommend a UK based modder or watchsmith who will work on reps that might be able to fix this?

Thanks. Did send him a PM already but not heard back. Maybe he's busy, will wait a bit.

i'll just jump on this thread if that is ok, i messaged Ado to take a look at my AP 5th September, to which we arranged for me to send it out to him. But i have heard nothing back from him. I know he is always absolutely busy and it's been over a month now since i sent off my watch and had contact.

rough time lines are a month or a little longer depending on the issues and how quickly he can resolve, test and post, but normally he is great at getting back with what the problem is.

That doesn't bother me t all about the watch or how long it might take, i was just looking to see if anyone knew if he was ok? he is a smashing bloke, does great work at great prices.

i just hope he is ok? does any one have any updates that he is ok?

thanks for the idea, i am just glad to hear he is about.....i can wait for a response because when the watch is ready - it is ready. he does excellent work!

p.s. i am not looking for a response from ado, i was just checking the forum to make sure he was ok.

I haven't heard from him for a long time, he's had a few of my watches for a good few months now, some longer. I'm the same- couldn't really care less about the watches more interested to know if he's alright, I've known him longer than most of my closest mates!

I check WhatsApp occasionally and see he's been online - that's good enough for me. The bloke is inundated and when he needs to get things done he just shuts everything else off, which is exactly what I do. He'll come through with your watches, I'm thinking/hoping early Christmas present for mine so I can move them on and buy some more..... Oh yeah, maybe not!

Hey guys, I know a lot of you are saying Ado is the best but just wondering if there is anyone that is UK based like a local jeweller who’s happy to do repairs/mods? I’m London based and took a Skydweller to the Picadilly guy but he’s broken it so need someone to sort it out.
