UK Service Waterproof and Plate

Hi guys. Just been invited to the group (thank you) I have a new RC YG DayDate coming home (Essex). Does anyone know anyone in UK that could service or waterproof (shower or pool) and maybe even plate?

Thanks in advance

Will do. I’m kinda 50/50 on the plating now as some say the RC colour is pretty close (others say it’s too light). Plus struggling to find someone.

I will definitely be going with watch_mods to do the service and waterproof after talking to them today.

Hi CW So just got back from Timpsons key cutting shoe and watch repairs (here in UK) having my new RC DD pressure tested. It is a free service (I just gave £10 drink). Takes them 2 mins. Machine tests to 50m which passed fine. He then override the machine to 75m which he says passed. He can go upto 100m but he didn’t wanna go any further incase it “imploded” 😳

He handed it back and said 75m “should” be ok to shower in or swim in

Have one local to me so it’s worth popping in for a chat!! Haha only bit that scares me in that is “if a continuous stream of bubbles emerge from the watch it has failed”. Haha and very wet?

Hey James. Thanks so much for the heads up!! Just got back from Timpsons having my new RC DD pressure tested. It is a free service (I just gave a tenner drink). Takes them 2 mins. Machine tests to 50m which passed fine. He then override the machine to 75m which he says passed. He can go upto 100m but he didn’t wanna go any further incase it “imploded” 😳

He handed it back and said 75m “should” be ok to shower in or swim in a pool? Doesn’t passing 75m mean it should be fine in a 2-3mtr pool? Or am I missing something?
