Anglesey watches is always well recommended, your issue may be that as it's a replica the movement inside is more of an unknown so they may be more hesitant

It would have to be a very "high end" replica to be worth it. Otherwise it'd be cheaper to buy a new watch or movement.

Throw it in the bin, how can a replica be worth repairing?

Some replica watches are over £200, why would you not want it repaired?

Some people are just offended by replicas. My (real) Rolex has hardly been all that reliable and my wife’s if pretty poor at time keeping.

It can be adjusted, you know...
Besides, if not serviced the oil inside starts to gum up after about 10 years or so, so this could be responsible for not keeping exact time anymore.

It has been serviced. I spoke about it with a friend and his Daytona is similar. Will look in to having it adjusted. I have a 50 yr old Rolex that keeps perfect time.

If you are in London, there is a guy with a kiosk inside Piccadilly tube station, great reviews, will work on any watch.
