Hi

I have a Ranchero that needs to be repaired and some parts sourced and am looking for a recommendation. Specifically the watch is missing the minute hand and sub dial second hand. Other than that, it's working well and keeps good time. I'm happy to settle for parts that aren't from a Ranchero (for example a Seamaster).

Any advice on good repairers who could also source the parts? I'm based in Australia but happy to send the watch overseas.

Thanks

Welcome @Oze21 - post some pics of the watch for us (most members here can’t read and require pictures 😉), so we can get a better idea of what you’re working with, and let us know where in AU you are so members there can give you a recommendation.

Here are some photos- I'm looking for a minute hand and a sundial seconds hand and recommendations for a reputable repairer in Australia (Sydney would be preferable).

If you have time ( many weeks...) , Joe Santos has the omega parts and is Sydney's best omega repairer. If not, send it to me in Coffs and i give it to my omega guy , who does not accept new customers. Back in 3-4 weeks and reasonable priced. Is the arrow hand bent or is it the picture? Anyway, PM preferred. Kind regards. Achim

Adam Lewis. He is in Perth but I send my Omegas to him, from Melbourne. Does a great job.

Your dial looks like a aftermarket/redone dial.

Original hands if you can find them, is cracy expensive. With an aftermarket dial I would look for a set of aftermarket hands, they are possible to find on eBay.
