rolex - rolex Hi there, are there any trusted repairers out there that could restore my watch. The watch failed after afew weeks and i tried to fit a new movemnet, big mistake, it snapped the hands pinion and dafaced some of the watchface. What i want doing is new auto movement, new face same as shwon and hands if necessary. Please get in touch if you can.

That's a poor quality rep with a cheap movement. Your money would be better spent on a new better quality rep.

Dial and hands $60
Movement $30
Labor $30

No watchmaker or modder is going to come to you for this project, I seriously doubt any will take the work if you go to them.

Save your money and buy one of these

If one have never handled a genuine Rolex or a high end rep then i would also say "the quality is ok".

But as this isn't the case i have to say that the rep is pretty much not worth more than 80 bucks.

Save the costs for the repair and get a high end rep or at least a regmariner.

That’s a very cheap rep. The repairs would cost at lease twice as much as the watch is worth. You’ve received good advice here. Quit trying to put lipstick on your pig. Buy a new watch or save up for a new watch. Good luck.

Buy a new one mate, that's a pretty crappy rep.
