PaddysBar Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Morning all. Any recommendations for this? I’ve got a watch I bought in 1995 which has sentimental value but the crown / pin has come out and I’d like to get it fixed, needs a new glass too. Thanks in advance.

Tazio Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Quite a tricky service to find in Edinburgh in terms of independent shops. If it isn't an obscure or premium brand Timpson's do a service where they send them off to get repaired. I've not used it but they are generally a reliable company.

Greenbank2 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Marshalls on Dalry Road. They have fixed many "unfixable" jewelry/watch problems for me over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Gorgie Jeweller on Gorgie Road will do watch repairs. The watchsmith there is (was) a nice chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a pretty quirky watch (Beauchat I bought in France 30 years ago) so I wanted to try an old fashioned shop rather than a chain. thanks for all the replies.

I didn't know they did watch repair, but can attest to excellent service from them in other areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddysBar Posted August 26, 2023 Author Share Posted August 26, 2023 Just to say, got the watch back today. Great job and a good price. Marshall’s at Haymarket is the watch repair shop for me from now on. Just a pity the facade is green😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
