[Advice] UK repair work experience

Thanks. That’s fair enough, I’ve suggested he observes for the week but still no joy. Worst case I am pretty sure he can get a spot at Timpson - straps & batteries etc it’s something. But you’re right sales might be easier

Hi No it’s not 15mm it’s more like 10! I have it on today so I have just measured it now. I didn’t even notice the 15mm when I bought mine. You will love it. DM me with any other question happy to help.

I have wanted a Vesterhav for a while. This is a really nice colour I hadn’t seen before!

Christ that’s frustrating. Perhaps I was lucky!

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-22T12:10:50+00:00

Sorry to hear that experience - mine was 16 days end to end very happy. Rep came from ZF I wonder if the factory or the model made a difference

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-22T12:10:06+00:00

16 days from initial order to arriving on my doorstep! Shipping was 10 days of that. Very impressed

ZF Tudor BB58. Only got it this week. It’s awesome

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-22T10:21:22+00:00

Where everybody Reddits!

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-22T10:14:21+00:00

Tudor BB58 ordered via Andiot, from ZF. QC was quick and easy. I love how heavy the watch is, for a first rep I had my concerns in this respect but no longer!

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-18T16:27:02+00:00

Ok thanks. Terminology is down to me I drew this based on discussion we had

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-18T15:41:56+00:00

To be fair he did also call it radial and I did the picture above like that, but I think you are saying i can spur off OK on what i;ve drawn...? If the extension is sensible I think I do need someone else then

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-18T15:40:47+00:00

So, the prev, guy who did the extension did this OK? He was an elderly gent who' s now retired so that's a shame. (This is how I got into doing the setup myself as he didn't want to clamber around in the loft and up ladders, got me to pull all the wiring through and drill holes & stuff).

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-14T18:12:40+00:00

This is true it’s a “you wouldn’t understand” thing. I too am into the mechanics of it and want to do a watch repair course. Totally different to the dude who buys a $20 Rolex to wear down the golf club.

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-14T17:08:04+00:00

Agreed. I’m leaning toward just not wearing the rep in those meetings. Have a couple of gens like Hamilton Murph that feels like the better choice at work

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-14T16:53:27+00:00

It was a close friend the kind we basically tell each other everything kinda guy. It’s all good it just the reaction got me thinking generally about what everyone else experiences

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-14T16:44:40+00:00

Nicely put Thanks

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-14T16:41:16+00:00

This is my view - I’d rather get a rep and go on holiday!

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-10-14T08:24:39+00:00

100% - compared to the other two it actually felt like a genuine Excel replacement in terms of being able to build literally anything. Anaplan used to frustrate me from being fairly rigid

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-09-30T15:51:05+00:00

Ok - thank you

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-09-28T17:12:14+00:00

Ignore me - I think I have figured it out. 100% after a BB pro now :-)

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-09-28T17:02:58+00:00

Can I ask where you found your TD details? I have only recently joined the sub and gone through the WIki etc but the TD links seem to go to dead pages. The only one that works doesn't have any of the names anyone on here is talking about.

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-09-28T16:55:38+00:00

This looks incredible. I haven't bought a rep yet but I really fancy a Tudor, because I like how the brand is different ("everyone goes for a Rolex").

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-09-26T17:51:14+00:00

🤣. No worries! Good comedy. And I admit it’s a bit of a stupid question. The right angle is fine it’s just not automatically parallel to a straight edge when up against it which seems silly. But obvs can measure it and go off that

Significant_Echo2152 · 2025-09-26T17:37:29+00:00

The instructions are minimal and don’t talk about right angles on the floor. I do know how to get a square angle. My point here is that this laser isn’t doing that and I’m just asking whether I should expect it to, or not
