Any Australians here?
« on: August 10, 2011, 05:55:48 AM »
hey guys,

Are there any Australian users here who would be able to recommend any watch repair places in Australia who are famliar with the Bell-matic?

I have yet to buy one, but would want to have one looked at after I make a purchace.

Thanks

The one person i can recommend is Peter Kuhn, but you will need to wait as he has a 6 month backlog of work and may not be taking on any new work till next year due to family commitments  :great: :great:

Is being 7 years as a resident in Perth as an Australian? I love my fremantle dockers! * they do suck from time to time*
I know one which is highly recommended in the west, Dayco Watch Perth.
But it's a bit pricey, you can google them if you like.

Ditto.
Peters work is second to none and if he is booked solid then it's worth the wait.

Thanks for the replies! I speak to Peter and get myself onto the queue.


In other news...

I found my dream bellmatic colour/case combination last night on ebay in great condition and a reasonable price to boot! Couldn't believe my luck. Snapped it up quickly. What do you think?

I agree thats a nice combination and that looks pretty clean but perhaps a little over polished ? but you can't really tell until it is in your hands, enjoy :)

I have been in Deepshit many times; the older I get, the easier it is  to get there. I actually kind of enjoy it there :)

I use Richard askham for my watch overhauls.  His work is superb and is significantly cheaper than getting it done in AUS.  His website is:
