GP UK Service Advice please

Hi all,

I have a WWTC which needs a routine service. It looks like I will have to use an independant.

I imagine I'm not the first GP owner whose watch has required service since Mr Macaluso passed. I'm hoping someone has been down this path before me and can recommend a Watch repairer qualified to look after a GP (Manufacture movement) .

I have discovered that my previous contact (Sowind Uk) in London has now gone.

I went to my usual retailer to try and get it serviced but they declined saying parts availability may be difficult or prohibitively expensive as they have no contact for a UK distributor. I'm about 350 miles from the paltry few GP AD who remain in the UK.

I have emailed GP to advise where to get a maintenance service in the UK and I am waiting for their response.

In the meantime I'd welcome any suggestions/recommendations

Thanks Jerry

I also have a GP that needs a simple part, but my watch repairman says they will not send the part. The watch must be returned to GP service center in Geneve, very disappointing, difficult situation. I will never buy another GP, although the Classic Elega...

Disappointing, or normal?

It is disappointing if GP Swiss doesn't send the simple part to a GP agent, yes. It is normal, if it has to be sent to a repairman, as you say. It is easy to understand: If your Watch is not perfectly repaired or serviced, would you accuse GP to do bad wa...
