    G10 Fat Boy Service

    I have a G10 Fat Boy 1980, where can I get it serviced as it is currently not running?

    I'm in Worcestershire, local would be good but not essential.

    Andy - Great Job!

    Thank you for the recommendations, I used Andy Leftley at Time World Services to sort out the Fat Boy and a few other problems I had.
    He did a great job and was always easy to contact and sort things with.
    I'd gladly recommend him to anyone looking for repair services!

    I might give him a try, I need the hands on mine re-luming.

    I appreciate that the OP has had the work completed on his watch however for the benefit of this thread appearing in someone's future search results, I'd second the vote for Stephen Burrage.

    He very efficiently serviced and refurbed my 1979 CWC W10 handwound, and also talked me out of work that didn't need doing that he could have billed me for.

    Ian.

    G10's are really nice - where's the place to get those?

    This thread has jogged my memory. I have just been having a rummage in my desk draw and found 2 fat boy cases. I know I have the movements and dials somewhere, I just need to find them.
    You can fit an ETA 2824, if you fancy something a little different.

    Don't think I would have the expertise for that!

    Well, I have found the dials and all of the other parts. The dials have some minor damage, which is why I never did anything with the watches.

    Do you have a spare crown that you would sell? My fatboy needs a crown to be complete again..
