Watchsmith recommandation in Paris?

[FasTTaP]

Hi

My Father has a 15yo DJ that he never serviced (the watch lived for 15 years and... of course... stopped ), and since Rolex is asking him way too much for servicing, he's wearing a cheap Festina instead :eek:

Can anybody recommend a good watchsmith in Paris with decent prices?

Thanks

I've found some very knowledgable and skilled guys on a little side-street in Montparnasse: they're currently working on two of my Pannies (one a simple fix and the other not) and although they haven't finished, their prices are reasonable and their attitude one of authentic watchsmiths. In fact, that's all they do. I immediately felt at ease and confident with them: they communicate easily and have a can-do, friendly attitude (rare for this town!)

When I first checked them out, one of the guys had a genuine Panerai on his wrist: it belonged to a customer, and it was being verified for accuracy (after repair) in actual use.

Here's their contact info:

Holologerie de Montparnasse

13, rue de Maine (NB: rue and not avenue)

75014 Paris

Tel: 01 4047 - 0073

Metro Montparnasse or Edgar Quinet

Let us know how you make out with them.

I picked up one of my Pannies today - successfully repaired for a ridiculously low price - and told them to expect you....

I only wish I had found these guys earlier!
