Ikepod Servicing

[uktotty]

Anyone recommend an agent to service a Hemipod?

They are just standard ETA movements, I think, and I think anyone with a bezel puller will be able to get into them. So basically any watchmaker should be able to service it.

Thank you, I had read this comment and was worried it may not be that simple.

Please only bear in mind that Ikepod vintage watches request special tools to be open and the most important to be closed. Do not trust someone who says that it it feasible without ikepod tools. (round Hemipode, Horizon, Megapode, Isopode). Be ready also to spend at least CHF 700 for a simple revision without parts.

That comes from Ikepod's own page at https://ikepod.com/en/blog/news/wher...kepod-serviced (It's a couple of years old now, though!)

The same page lists someone in Cumbria as competent to carry out the work -

'Dan Hodge in Cumbria dan@28daysearlier.com'

Perhaps drop him a line & see what he says.
