Watch servicing/repair in London


Anguz

Recommended Posts

Hey gang,

I'm from Canada but live in London in the UK. I have a Noobmariner that I need to get looked at/repaired as the movement stops if I sit still for more than one minute!

Can any Londeners advise me on a good place to get it repaired?

Cheers lads!

stay well away from the many shoe store/watch repair places around town.

Most will turn it away and look there nose up, but there are a few backstreet places, that will help but will say that there is no warranty and if they break something else trying to fix it, its your problem.

There are a few watch places located in the underground stations, but there skill set is limitedt to changing straps, batteries. Some people have used a guy in picadily circus station, but there are as many bad reports as good.

There is a member called Smidsy, not sure which forum who has a good rep.

other options are sending to france or gernany where you have Domi and Wiz.

I needed a tx crystal put in a v6 hub this week, went around town, with no joy then i remembered that the debenams store has a watch repair place on oxford street, they dont do auto movements, but he gave me a look, took my watch and fitted the crystal, came back and said as he cant warrant the work, he wont charge me, result!

There is also a watch repair place near farringdon on top of a sweet shop that do work for the many jewellers in town and work on omega's etc, depending on who you talk to they may or may not help.

Hey thxuk. Thanks for the info mate. I once asked the watch guy at Clapham Junctionstation and he was useless. The Farringdon one sounds interesting as I worj in Clerkenwell, so not too far. Do you know exactly where it is?

Cheers pal!
