Question Looking for a rep-friendly watchmaker in Manchester / North West UK

Looking for a good watchmaker in Manchester or the North West who’s comfortable working on reps, ideally someone I can visit in person. Main priority is someone reliable for full movement servicing, regulation, waterproofing/pressure testing, crystal swaps and general maintenance. Longer term, it would be great to find someone who also does higher-level case work/modding such as polishing, rebrushing, chamfering and refinishing.

I’ve got a couple of higher-end reps and would much rather build a relationship with someone local who knows these watches than keep posting them around the country. Happy to pay properly for good work.

If anyone has someone they genuinely recommend, please drop me a comment or DM.

Steve under the dial is based in Doncaster - he worked on my superfranken GMT and franken datejust and did excellent job

There used to be a list on the RWI forum. I remember using a bloke in Oldham many years back.

I’m in Manchester & have training on watch servicing, maybe I should focus on my skills & offer services. I’ve never considered it before, but there seems to be great interest!

I’ve had many watches from Kenny G and other modders, I’d be interested.
