Hi
My newly aquired 810 has lost a pusher button.
Which makes me very sad.
Can anyone recommend a good person to go to in London to get it replaced/ repaired?
Thank you
Felix

lost as in "gone", or just fell off ?
"gone" is a bit of a problem., if u have the pusher cap it's an 2 easy job any watchmaker can do

No, I'm afraid it's gone.
How much of a problem, do you think, to source a replacement?
*waits nervously*

Try Graham at Superlative Time. He's based in South Ealing. Check out the web site.

Just to complete the loop on this I did talk to Graham, but he was both more expensive and less knowledgeable than Craig/ Chronodeco. So I wound up sending it to him and am glad I did. Of one hundred pushers he had only one was an exact match. But looking at that from the other end I have an exact match and wouldn't have done otherwise.
I know he doesn't need any further plaudits here, but nonetheless.....

Felix sorry to hear the pusher went missing, but glad you found a match. Do you know "how" you lost it or did you just look down and see it gone? Take care of my 810, I miss it and will need it back some day :wink:

No idea, Rich. Just looked down and it had gone. Have no fear, though. Craig is taking care of it and me!
