Lucien just repaired my VSF Omega Planet Ocean (dreaded stripped thread). Excellent job (had the stem shortened). Communication was very good and watch returned like shiny new! Return posted using tracked RM.

He has done a quality repair. He shortened the stem so it sits flush to the crown guard... but the crown pulls out with a satisfying click and operates winds and changes time and date perfectly. He pressure tested and it was still a surprising 50 bar...

Highly recommended

Reassuring to hear this! Great to have someone in the UK to assist!
