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 |
Good to know. Now I just need to find one in the Chicago area... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-01-08 |
Hello everyone! I have a PAM Submersible 01039. The watch was working perfectly until I accidentally dropped it. Now the winder is not working the same. The rotation feels flat vs clicking sound and feel. The watch now stops until I shake it and then it starts up again, but the movement is slower and so the watch is... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
Get it serviced | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
Any idea who would be able to service a PAM 01039 in the USA. I am in the east coast. Thank you! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
Sorry mate I'm in uk .. wouldn't feel comfortable recommending anyone unless I've used them myself ...someone will help, ask in a new post maybe? Good luck. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |

Recently purchased the PPF V2 5712 and am looking as most are to put the SW moon phase in it I am relatively new to the rep community but have a basic knowledge, do you think that this is something I can complete by myself with the right tools and a guide or is it better to send to someone to be done if so who? (Locate... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
just get someone to do it u need speciality tools for this or ur gonna butcher the watch | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
Who would you recommend as the best person for the job? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
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.
Google RWI + your location + service providers and find someone qualified. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-02-08 |
Was given this by a neighbour when helping to clean out his house. Is it worth giving it some love? Does it have any value left? | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Definitely! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Yes | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Now thats a neighbour that I’ll gladly live next to.
In terms if financial worth; probably yes. Not a very desired model and it seems it needs atleast a new crystal (not that expensive) and a new dial (expensive) but still worth a couple thousand. Movement service, new gaskets and you’re ready to go!
Incredible sto... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Yes! Will need quite some work though. Crown tube is completely stripped and corroded. Polywatch will clean that crystal up if it’s plexiglass, although around the time the Air King Date was made they were starting to switch to sapphire crystals so in that case you’d need a new crystal. Considering the crown can’t scre... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |

Yes for sure. Only needs a new plexi glass. Prob worth $5k+ its a 5700. Bit small but a classic | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
I'll DM you. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Ofc. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Absolutely - a bit of tlc and it’d get back to it true vintage glory | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |

New Crystal and you’re set, maybe MAYBE a service of the movement | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Yeah, get it serviced. I’ve got a great guy that has done a number of watches for me. DM me and I’ll shoot you his contact. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
If it's gen then definitely | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
All it needs is new plexi glass and someone to Polish the steel an it's worth a good few thousand mate ..well done ✔️ 👍 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |

Oh that's interesting. Nice reward then.
Well I would fix the crystal first.
Then service movement and waterproof the gaskets | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Nice watch mate! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Yeah if its real of course | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Ah missed that. Definitely restore it. Throw that baby on a 19mm leather strap and pass it down one day :) | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Gonna need a bit more than a fresh crystal and a polish as some are trying to say; look at that corrosion on that crown tube, god only knows how bad the corrosion on the movement and etc may be, but all that said it's still plenty worth restoring. But you're gonna need to find someone who can strip the entire watch dow... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
lol, a 3-5k gift? Must be nice. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
I seems to still work after winding it up a bit. Maybe I shouldn’t do that until a professional has looked at it… | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Any recommendations for restoration services in the UK? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Yeah I wouldn't mess with the crown at all until you get it to someone who can perform the aforementioned services, but it does point to a good direction with how everything is condition wise. Still needs to have a complete teardown service and rebuild but overall if the bones are good it shouldn't take much in the way... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Of course. Silly question. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |

Took the words out of my mouth! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Unscrew the caseback so we can see the movement. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Absolutely not, I’ll happily take it off your hands. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |

My dad had a similar, in not the same, one from 1975. I didn’t have the money to restore it and possibly not get enough back from selling.
Sold it for $950 with a cracked bezel, stretched band…it wasn’t in good shape but still worked. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
Worth about $3.5k restored. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |

If you like it. Always worth restoring. New Plexiglas simpathetical service (not Rolex) personally I don't like polishing watches, I think it shows it's story. Nice ostrich strap with Rolex buckle. NICE Watch. ENJOY | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
$3,200 then | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |

Why do you think so? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |

This may be a dumb question but I actually have a watch I was hoping I could send to him and I emailed their website but was unable to get in contact. Does anyone know how you do that or is there just an address he has that people can send watches into? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-07-08 |
Hi all, I've got a daytona that I need to change one of the parts of strap and I'm really struggling to remove the oysterflex from the case.
I've got a Bergeon 6767-F Fine ended spring bar tool and a pair of tweezer style removal tool too and I cannot seem to get in the release it.
Has anyone got any tips or advice ... | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
I like to have my new or almost new reps cleaned and lubricated before I wear them. I like to think this extends their life. Hoping to find someone good at this basic service with a reasonable lead time. US would be ideal. Thanks! | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |

I want to see what movement this has.
So if unscrew the back, will it spring apart on me? Or will everything stay inside? Is there something special I have to do with the gasket or anything?

Everything will stay inside. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
This is a fake watch.
You can unscrew the caseback and take it out, nothing will be damaged or will jump or fall out. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Even in Gen watch nothing will jump or fall out😊 | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Right?! | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Hello…I was unable to locate the rose gold timepiece with this exact dial. The silver case was the closest I could find.
Anyone have a suggestion or watchmaker that can assist?
I’m looking to swap the silver out for rose gold, thanks in advance. | r/reptimeservices | post | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
That's going to take some precision/talent to plate the case/clasp or luck to find both pieces. Best case would be to keep looking and sell the other when you find it. Just my thought. GL! Beautiful watch. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Thank you. My other option was to buy a rose gold with different dial and swap dial and/or movement. Then sell the silver case with whatever dial is left over. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
I can plate the case and clasp, shouldn’t be a huge problem I think. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Nice…what will the damage be? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
Are you also able to remove gold plating? Say from a BTF Daytona 116508? Just curious | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-04-08 |
yes, but its very expensive, like 500 something. but the good part is = you get a free watch for that. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
this is the way. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
Does Major Williams do this? I'm down, when the time comes | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
you didn't get it. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-05-08 |
No rose gold coming out of BLSF, since they had the dial, I place the order of what I wanted but can’t get anything in rose gold currently. No clue when it’ll be available 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
then it seems the only option is to find someone to coat it real rose for you. while real rose would be awesome, it would be expensive, i think. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
oh. can you get that case with no pushers ? | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
/majorwilliams said her could handle it, just sent an email today to find out the details.
As far as getting the case with no pushers in rose gold, seems unlikely as well. I went around the town and asked for “parts” but no takers.
For some reason, seems the factory isn’t doing rose gold anything or at least on thi... | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |
/majorwilliams can do it? if so, that is it. where are you?
rose and gold are not all that popular because the finish can be damaged more than stainless. all but 2 of mine are rose, one is gold and one is SS. | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-11-08 |

Probably one of those DG variants with the "chrono" subdials where one displays a 24hr scale and the other displays the date and the pushers are used to crudely advance these subdials | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
I’m just looking to replace the crown and stem as this one sheared off but Ive only just opened it up I’m not fussed if I break it but I would like to at least try to fix it if I possibly can just to see if I’m capable of doing it it still works I just have no way of winding it when it’s all put together | r/reptimeservices | comment | r/RepTimeServices | 2024-03-08 |
If you have the old stem look up a DG2813 winding stem and see if it looks the same, from there if it does (the end that fits into the movement) order a new one and if you still have your old crown cap, remove the stem from it and thread in a new stem.
