UK (ideally London) Modder Required - Are you out there ?

Hello RWI Team

Does anyone know of a UK (ideally London) based Modder who can replace a bezel on a 37mm Cartel based Daytona. Watch is currently sporting a black Acrylic (kind of Bakelite) Bezel and I want to swap it for a Steel bezel (which fits) that I already have. So no parts required just labour to make the change.

Or alternatively can anyone advise how complicated this is to do ? I think it requires more skill than I possess but maybe its an easy fix ?

Obviously the easiest route is to find a rep friendly Mod in the UK ...ideally London. Any suggestions ?

Cheers

Darren

You can do it yourself - look it up.

Good afternoon. I have a BP Rolex Prohunter DSSD and the bezel is broken: it rarely clicks and goes backward. I don't know how big a job it is to change... Do we know anyone in London who can have a look ?

Hi buddy, there is a shop in Piccadilly, inside the station, called Watch Repair Piccadilly. I had a few email exchanges with them and they will look into replicas as well.

Solution6 thanks for the tips. Have you or someone used them yet? I am just asking in case they would be reporting the reps...

Plenty have used them with mix reports on their care, you won't get reported but I wouldn't trust them to service a tourbillon put it that way.

Those type of repair shops are not AD’s and so would not be interested if rep’s or gen’s.

I’ve found a place in London (specifically the square mile) that said they would service mine/do any repairs needed. They specialise in selling Chinese watches so i’m sure will be familiar with the movements found in a lot of rep watches. I’ve seen a lot of requests for London-based watchsmiths so PM me if you’d like to know the name.
