Australian watchmaker, rep friendly!

It would appear Marrickville is off the radar. The Perth contact seems to be the best option at the moment (I haven't used him)

Perth based I have a retired gentleman I use, he is reasonably priced and just likes watches - he works on my reps and gens all the same. Happy to give details if you want

He's happy to take mail ins, I have him working on a couple of 1675s now.

I have a couple of things I need done – one 28mm GMF datejust that hasn't really worked properly since about a week after I received it (needs to be wound daily) and a 41mm VSF datejust that I want to have serviced and swap the dial for gen.

The only trouble is I'm struggling to find anyone who can do it! I've tried PMingmarrickville and BLK.W.EXPRESS but after reading every page of this informative thread – what a rollercoaster – it seems unlikely either of them will be available.

Any leads would be really appreciated.

sorry guys, i'm around but working through requests very slowly. I like to not have a overloaded bench so bear with me.

Recently had my 6yo noob 116610 serviced by Marrickville. He's so easy to do business with. Lined up a few more jobs for him already! Id recommend him to anyone.

Just had 2 VSF sub serviced by marrickville and everything was smooth and turnaround time was around 2 weeks for both. Will recommend him to anyone looking for reps service in Australia as he does accept shipping.

Thanks for the info, guys. I've been meaning to send a couple of Subs his way for servicing but not gotten around to it. Great to see these recommendations.

Hi all. I recently had my VSF Omega Seamaster repaired and serviced by Marrickville. He quickly identified the issue causing the rough winding and sent me a photo of the damaged part as well photos of the disassembled watch. The watch is now working great. It was a pleasure to deal with him and I highly recommend his services!

Lads, this isn't a paid post by any means but I was scouring the forums looking for somebody to silence the rotor wheel of my new AP 15450 (having received new it was frustratingly loud). Found Marrickville on here, got his details, added him on WhatsApp and I ended up sending two watches for him to service. I received the AP back (I am interstate) within 2 working days with the rotor originally sounding 7.5/10 down to a 2/10. Really recommend his work. I don't know what timeframes he provides for other work but I was pretty happy with the turn around. Thanks again mate

Thanks for all the feedback, have a piece in need of work locally and sounds like he is the guy to go to:thumbsup:

Hi all, just wanted to chime in to say I've now had three different watches worked on by Marrickville. One service, one dial swap, and finally another slightly more complicated dial and bezel swap. Cannot speak more highly of his work and service – luckily I'm in Sydney so am able to drop off in person and don't have the issue of posting anything, but turnaround time has been a matter of days at the most. He also kept me informed along the way with pics of what stage of the process he was up to.

Just had my first service done by Marrickville and couldn't be happier with the work. He serviced and repaired a rep Breitling Avenger with an A2824 movement that had stopped running after falling onto a hard floor. Work was carried out quickly with great communication (including some great photographs of the movement as it was cleaned) and the watch was back on my wrist less than I week after I sent it to him in the post. Great service and will definitely be using his services next time I need any work done.

Another recommendation for marrickville.

Just had my VSF 116610 serviced and Noob 126610 repaired, as it stopped running after only a couple or months of use.

Great communication from start to finish, pics provided along the way, and a gentleman to deal with.

Just adding to the above, had marrickville repair and service my zzf sub, which I got back today. Great comms, took just over a week from when I mailed it to get it back (interstate and in the middle of a covid lockdown). The difference in winding the movement after the service is night and day.

Definitely recommend and will be using his services again.

 

[marrickville]

thanks for the kind words all. Glad I could help.

I recently had a genuine AP dial repaired with marrickville and was very impressed with his work. Communication was more than consistent and it took less than a week to receive the dial back. (Sent the dial from Brisbane out on a Wednesday, arrived in Sydney the next day, repairs done by Friday and the dial was back in my hands by Monday morning).

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for any services done (rep or gen).

marrickville Another recommendation for Marrickville, turned around my PAM111 in two days. Watch face had separated and needed a service after 8 years of ownership. Watch came back and runs perfectly. Very pleased customer.

marrickville Just PM'ed you I know I am new here but hopefully you can still work on my watch. Thanks

Hi all,

Just received a watch that needed abit of work and saw marrickville for some servicing... Top guy... really friendly... will vouch for him for repairs in Sydney

 

[litesec]

Just had Marrickville service my Datejust 116234 with a SH3135 movement, turnaround was earlier than promised and the watch is keeping time beautifully. Had some issues fitting a gen datewheel but that is an issue with the movement and Marrickville was able to recommend some options that I will try out soon.

First ever watch service went great would happily recommend to anyone in sydney
