Wristwatch R&M

[tamada]

My Seiko is doing the herky-jerky thing with the sweep second hand so the 'capacitor' is due for replacement. I also need to get the metal band replaced.

Any advice of best watch repair shop that also carries some decent non-OEM watch bands that won't rust away?

Tam, Kevin in the Gallery was saying he knows a decent watch maker/repair man, might be worth giving him a bell.

Tam , theres a watch n clock repair shop next door or very close to Fuzzy Kens , a guy sits outside the shop n most stuff he will do while you wait or within an hour or so . He done a few bits n bobs for me over the years.

also one across the street from UD Town (Tesco and BK).. Usually opens around 11AM... The repairman has a little setup right inside the watch/clock store. He has a huge collection of various watch bands etc.. as well as most any watch battery. He even cleaned and adjusted my great-granddad's pocket watch that hadn't run in years... located here: https://www.google.com/maps/@17.4007835 ... 312!8i6656

Directly opposite Central, on the corner, watch repairs to a very high standard. They put a new battery and replaced a link in my Tag Heuer for a very reasonable price. In the UK, It would have cost a small fortune.

Chose this guy as I could park outside and then took the lad for a dander through Tesco's while we waited. Came back the next day and he did the battery in Mrs tam's fancy watch as well. Good fast service.
