Thank you.

Would anyone have a recommendation for a rep friendly repair service here in Perth ?

Thanks in advance for the information.

Have a great holiday and a happy new year

An actual thread dedicated to AUSTRALIAN rep friendly watch makers???

That would be awesome and helpful.

If it happens. It should be stickied!

None in Perth @Mattie123 - however I repeat there are THREE active in Australia and we have a national postal service that works.

Oh and have a look through THIS STICKIED THREAD as advised.

Huge shout out to @marrickville , I broke my brand new watch like an absolute mong.
He was super friendly,understanding, kept me up to date at all stages and even sourced parts over the Christmas break to get me my watch back.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use his services again. 11/10

Massive shout out to @tongsui for repairing and replacing my movement.

Very friendly, easy to deal with and went through every step with me with pictures

Ive never had my watch repaired or sent off before so this first experience was effortless and great.

Watch works perfect now and is nice and clean!

Another shoutout for @tongsui shipped him my 116500 panda to swap out dial and bezel as I prefer my 116520. Shipped on Saturday and it has arrived back to me just now. Very happy with the result and he kept me updated with photos and videos throughout the whole process. Highly recommend!

Thanks @marrickville for the great work done on my recently purchases Omega POLM. Bought from a TD, but the movement was DOA (these things happen) and crown-tube action was very rough. Now it has a serviced gen ETA and the crown and tube thread together nicely. And great comms from Marrickville throughout, as always. Cheers bud

Thanks yet again @marrickville


How fortunate we are for his being a forum member and how well he does what he does and how he does it! What a gentleman.


I loved my old Omega SM. I knew it wasn't water resistant but stupidly forgot it was on my wrist and swam in seawater.


Opened and tried to blow dry it but I knew I was grasping at straws


He offered and took the task on to try and save it within 24 hours. No expectations and yup, the movement was a goner.

Hands and dial saved and if anything she looks a little more aged and more the part

I found expensive vintage omega movements but he hung in there and sourced one for 1/3rd the price.


He also found a tube and updated her to accomodate a screw down crown. Which the factory ended up doing a number of years down the track to resolve crown issues on their gens.

As she was a military T he also sorted fixed bars to replace the springed I had

When I first got her he helped get rid of the rep tell tales and opened up the 6 and 9 and rid her of the marker footers.

Really everything about her appeal is thanks to M

Here she is back on my wrist.

So happy

Mate. That's a great story.
I know the answer - but IF you EVER want to sell this I'll gladly take it off your hands!
