Come on now guys, check the watchmaker section. You'll find at least one UK based guy there if I'm not mistaken. At least one in EU.

Might just be me, but I could not find a UK based watchmaker there?

So if anyone could provide details of a UK / London watchmaker, I would really appreciate a PM.

If folks have a good rep friendly watchsmith in any of the NYC boroughs, please shoot me a PM. Happy to throw business to someone who's done well by folks here.

I tried to get my NOOB superocean abyss serviced in UK, couldnt find a watchsmith who would touch it. I spoke to three who claimed they didnt want to be liable incase they broke it despite me confirming it was a rep and i would accept responsibility etc one even said it was GEN and suggested i go to an AD... [emoji85] nightmare

You need to find an independent "mom and pop" or grandpa watchsmith place - try to Yelp and call.

Levelmanroger,

Thanks for posting this advice. It seems to me that this would be fairly obvious but that's only after reading it. I know that I could not have have laid it out so well.

Regards,

Was going to start a thread on this after search failed, finally stumbled onto this. Glad I did prior to the post/flame fest. :)
Yelp reviews in my area are leaving me cold.
If anyone knows of a good rep friendly shop in Brevard Co., FL I'd appreciate the info.

Damn I was so close to finding one in the UK, exchanged a few emails and initially he refused. Explained about me not holding him accountable etc etc, went to see him but seems he didn't fancy it in the end.. says he sees plenty of copy watches and can be a can of worms once taking it apart!

This guy is great, charged me only $20 for water treatment and regulation, I tipped $5, but maybe because I'm a frequent client LOL
