Repairing in the UK

Hi All,

Are there any clone watch repairers in the UK?

I can’t see any reason why a watch repairer would want to turn away a repair because it might be a clone.

Wouldn't it be great if you could clone a watch repairer

What do you exactly mean by "clone" ?

I'm repairing in Cardiff...
We may be in a simulated reality but I don't feel as a clone

He is referring to the movements found in replica watches; fake watches. A fake Rolex with a copied/cloned 3135 movement perhaps or a fake Tudor with a copy of the eta 2824. Some watchsmiths don't like to work on reps/fake movements, others don't care. Each to their own.

Any competent watch repairer I should have thought could fix it.

I've seen where a licensed Rolex dealer won't work on fake Rolexs  because he doesn't want to get a reputation for trying to pass off fake Rolxes as real.  Also he might loose his deal with Rolex if they found out.

Some watchmakers work on replica's, the problem is to get the right spare parts...The asian clones 2824, 2836 and 7750 have interchangeable parts with the Eta ones.
