Can anyone give my the contact details for the independant watchmaker by the name of Duncan please.
Thank you guys my Explorer II is stoping now within 2 hours of removal from wrist.
And it requires a new glass..........

It's either Duncan @ Genesis: http://www.genesiswatchmaking.co.uk/
Or forum member "Thewatchbloke" who also does watch repair
Hope this helps
Thanks
Mark
Thank you mark.
A vote for Duncan @ Genesis. He recently regulated my Exp II polar (service history unknown) which was gaining around 12 secs a day. Checked today and its gained 7 secs in 3 weeks. He has also serviced my vintage '69 Speedy.
I use independent repairers, and have been pleased with the results. But I wonder with Rolex; it costs more, but an authorised repair from Rolex adds a two year guarantee and make the watch worth more if you sell.
Duncan at Genesis provides a two-year guarantee.Quote:

Really?, thought Duncan has a business address?Quote:

He does not disclose the business address, for fear of robbery I suppose. Like I say, he insisted I post to a PO Box when I contacted him. That was back in summer 2016, he may have changed his tactics now. Let us know how you get on. CheersQuote:

Ive used genesis a number of times and had no issues and great service every time
I'd recommend both Duncans. Service and comms with both have been excellent.

I'm sure I've read Parcel Pro have now pulled the plug on insuring for individuals. They only cater for business's now AFAIK.Quote:

You will not be disappointed. A genuine craftsman.
Tamtoot.
My Seamaster Bond was fully overhauled by Duncan last year. Runs at around +1 seconds per week. Superb job he did!Quote:

He does a superb job, as you would expect for someone officially authorised by Rolex to service their watches, but more importantly he will do only what you want him to do to a watch. A friend sent his Rolex into St James's for a service, with the condition that they don't touch the case or bracelet. They returned it having lapped the case back to as-new. I want my Explorer 2 to retain all its patina, when it's due a service it's going straight to Duncan. He's sorted two other Rolexes for me already (as well as a Speedy, Autavia and possibly one or two more!) and I can't recommend him highly enough.Quote:

Only good things to say about him. His work was great .
He is the real deal, you will get nothing but the best.
Plus images of his work.
Has he serviced a submariner for anybody He won't touch my 16613 and told me to send to Rolex through a high street establishment .
Duncan fixed a broken main spring and polished the lugs on my Heuer Carrera. It came back literally looking and working as new with sharpness of the case retained. Delighted.
He refurbished a 116613 bracelet for me. Stunning work.
+1 here, Duncan did an outstanding job on an Omega SMP chrono for me last year.
Top class work at real world prices.
