just a question, is it possible that a watchsmith holds the watch and reports it?

Anything is possible I suppose, but the chances of that drops exponentially if you do your homework before selecting a repair person.

If it's a member here, no worries. If you source your own local repair shop, you better know them. If you have a person who has worked on other gens for you then you could always approach them and tell them you got a rep watch as a gift and was wondering if they would be willing to take a look at it.

Personally, I'd stick with members here if that's an option for you.

I don't personally know of any in Canada but I'm sure you could find one in the modder section.

There are several CONUS but you'd have to deal with Canadian customs, and since I know nothing about Canadian customs I can't tell you what to expect. You might check with one of the CONUS modders and see if they've done any cross-boarder transactions. I suspect they have and could tell you how to declare the package (i.e. broken watch for repair, etc).

Does anyone know a omeone in the USA that can swap out a datewheel in my ZF patek Aquanaut? I have a keylog datewheel but don’t know who can install it for me.

Looking for someone in Nashville. I have a watch and it just stopped. It is a Omega - Aqua Terra Master Ryder Cup SS/NY White Ult Asia 8500. If there is no one in Nashville I’ll ship it to someone on here who has a good reputation. Thanks.

I appreciate this. Though the several watch makers in my area I’ve called with these instructions refuse to work on a counterfeit replica. They felt they would be in some sort of legal trouble. I have used RWR a handful of times with no issue
