Thanks for keeping this thread alive guys, getting watchmakers to look at things in Canberra is basically impossible.

Just thought I'd shout out Tongsui for help with modding a Clean GMT V3 Pepsi. Will upload some photos this weekend when I get a moment to take some good pics.
Great service, excellent communication and keeps you well informed with pics along the way. Absolute asset to our hobby as Aussies! Thank you!

Thanks Bro ! Thanks for the kind words . Enjoy your Pepsi
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.
Hi Josh I know this is an old post, but is this gentleman still operating? I’m in Perth and would love to service and waterproof my rep.
Cheers!
Old thread I know but I thought I’d join and post rather than lurking.
I’m in Perth and chasing a watchmaker to service and waterproof my rep. It’s a few months old and I love it so much, I want to make it last.
Thank you!

I just had some work done to my V6F submariner by tongsui. The bezel action on this watch sucked and my local watchmaker at the mall said it failed the pressure test…
Tongsui fixed the bezel action, worked out all it was missing was a click spring, softened all the edges and cleaned/oiled the watch bracelet.
He was 100% a professional, sent me photos of the work completed and was very clear with pricing. He also found that some of the work I asked him to do was not necessary and that the watch had trapped air not any sort of water proofing issue.
The watch is perfect now and best of all he turned around the job inside 48 hours of receiving the watch. Tongsui is a legend and is my new go to for anything I need done on my watch collection.

Wanted to give a belated shoutout to a great guy Mr Tongsui who gave my new rep a once-over health check and waterproof. He was magnificent from our initial contact and provided great communication with detailed feedback and pictures along each step of the servicing too.
I've been recommended him to all the Australians over on the Reptime forum & wanted to finally share the feedback on this forum too.
Highly recommend Tongsui if anyone needs their rep serviced. Thanks very much once again.
