Heuer Carrera - Broken Stem

[Noger]

Looks like I have broken the winding stem on my Heuer Carrera (re-issue, but manual wind). Luckily still have the crown.

Loathe to send it back to LVMH, and there seem to be quite a few "specialist" repairers who I assume just ship it to somewhere central and pretend to be local.

Is this something you would trust to a local high street watch repairer or is it worth sending somewhere ?

Thanks

I suggest you send it to a good watch maker who has a good reputation for fixing Heuer's

Try these:

Ian Walsh at http://www.hanhartuk.com/contact.htm

Nick Green at Heuer Boy

I have used Ian Walsh once and found him to be very good. I have also used Genesis and they are excellent. No used Nic Green but he has an excellent reputation.

Should be an easy fix do you have the Carrera model number?

Thanks.

Yes, it is CS3113.

Looks like the movement is based around a Lemania Caliber 1873 and Cousins have the stem in stock which is about £8.

Last time I asked, Nic didn't want to touch the modern stuff. No harm in asking though...

Thanks all. Arrived at a PO Box in Leicester today.

Hopefully Ryte Time can sort out what happened.
