The only other thing I can think of is I accidentally referenced a watch for sale in RepTimeBST, but around that same time I was muted. I can read posts, but I cannot comment and I have been a member for awhile now and really don’t understand it. Regardless, it felt like an over-correction and I think it’s because I st... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Hopefully you can get it sorted out, you sound like a reasonable person. I'd shoot major a PM. Good luck! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
I received a IWC ingenieur yesterday that unfortunately is dead. The TD is proposing sending the watch back to China, but I’m not really eager to do this. So can anyone recommend a watchmaker in Belgium that works on reps ? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |

Hi!
Im wondering if there is any reliable mod to fix back play on the bezel? I got a Submariner 114060 that have about 2-3mm loose play when using the bezel. New click spring? Or what can I do to make it more solid? Experience requested!
Thanks | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Judging from your previous posts this is about a VSF?
You should check if your bezel also has lateral play (if you push it down in the direction of the case) a tiny bit is okay, but if it is more than the thickness of a piece of paper your hytrel ring is probably intalled crooked and needs repositioning or replacing.

Hi, looking for any help. Got a vintage omega that I would like to remove the corporate logo. Anyone has suggestions on any way I could remove this without damaging the paint ? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Don't. Personally I love stuff like this. You have something very few people have and there's added history behind it. If you hate it, I'll take it lol. In all seriousness you trying to remove the logo will damage the dial, I wouldn't mess with it. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
God no. What an amazing piece.
Only way to do it safely would be to source another dial without the logo. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
I concur absolutely with what the others have written. I have used eyeglass cleaner to gently and only CLEAN some dials. I don’t want to tell you how many dials I have ruined using either alcohol, naphtha or acetone.
Acetone is especially aggressive on dissolving quite a few paint types. You have a very difficult si... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Please op don't be a dumbass | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Photoshop or whiteout | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Your best bet is to looks online for a dial that doesn't include the logo, then swap them and store your dial with a logo
Shouldn't be too hard to find one reasonably priced | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Agreed. If someone is dumb enough to ruin this unique beauty, they might as well go full retard. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Co-signed watches are worth far more than the plain version. Keep the logo. It gives it panache. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |

Bad advise. I'm a horologist and you gave this guy enough info to destroy nice watch.

Try a thicker crystal gasket. Press fitting is hard. Rep parts have variable specs. It can be a bit of a crap shoot. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Thanks Pete - This is new territory for me: Any advice on which specific gasket to get? It’s the 41mm.. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
No idea. Thicker than what you currently have. This is a case of getting out the calipers and doing a lot of measuring. You’ll want the fit to be on the order of 0.01mm | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-31-07 |
Try Cousins or Esslinger. I usually find Cousins to be slightly thicker, but it depends. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |

So I unfortunately lost the clasp to my vsf 3vv bracelet and am looking for a replacement | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
Interesting fact Rolex wont sell this part on its own they only sell the whole clasp how mad is that | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
Getting a single foldover clip that also fits a specific rep bracelet is difficult. You would be better of if you just asked a TD for a new bracelet. The one from clean factory is a definitve upgrade over the VSF one. Any TD should be able to source it for around 140USD. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
It will be easier to buy the entire clasp system. Ask Sillan seller from Alibaba | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |

Sounds likely that its been magnetized when you went through customs. Fairly common happenstance. Buy a demagnetizer tool and look up a youtube video, fairly simple to fix. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
Do watch shops do that or not? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
They should, its a fairly straightforward and simple job | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
Magnetized watches run fast, not slow.
Friction often makes a watch run slow.
Edit: The watch is most likely dirty or has little or no lubricant which will cause friction making the watch slow. Since the watch is extremely slow OP should take it to a watch maker and get it serviced. Multiple hours of slowness per day... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
I’m going to disagree because magnetized watches can in fact run slower. It depends on what could’ve been magnetized and it’s not always the hairspring. I’ll give you that in most cases they run faster but I have personally worked on a rep rolex movement that was magnetized and was in fact running slower and regained t... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Google it. Magnetized watches run fast. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
That’s great! Speaking from literal personal experience with a rep rolex movement but you do you man | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Im so tired of this, heres your precious google search you nonce- from a variety of sources! Like I said, IT DEPENDS on what was magnetized, you or I will never know. What we do know is, it started running slow after going through an airport scanner.
https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/can-a-magnetized-watch-run-slower... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
In some rare cases maybe but in the vast majority of the time the watch runs fast when magnetized. You are still mostly wrong in the majority of cases. There are always exceptions to anything.
So you downvote me for this discussion. Grow up. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
I literally did not downvote- I don't downvote just because of a disagreement.
You'll note above I said " I’ll give you that in most cases they run faster", so yeah- what if this is an exception?

Probably 2824, put rotor to the other side and lost pic with balance and its easier to identify | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |

Yep 2824. Cool. Assuming the hand isn’t shot and needing a swap you’re looking at like $25 plus shipping. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
Ok, and what if the hands are shot, what do those cost? to replace? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |

You'd have to shorten the crown stem. Not something the average person can do unfortunately. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
Anyone out there that can do that? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
Most watchmakers should be able to do it, I’d say it isn’t that much work. Open up the case back, remove crown and stem, remove crown from stem and cut the stem a little, then put it all back together | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |

You should buy SW set first and then look for local watchmaker. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
After doing this myself I can confidently say its not for the feint of heart. If you are new to watches I strongly advise NOT to do it yourself. Without the proper hand removal tools you will 100% fuck your dial and hands up.
