Watchmakers/Watch Repairs in Dublin City Centre

Mental Mickey

Can anyone suggest a good Watchmaker/Repairer in Dublin City Centre? My watch is running slow after having the battery changed. I think there may be something wrong with the mechanism of it?

Thanks in advance.

Going to move this to the Watches and Timepieces Forum.

I'd recommend looking up the manufacturer and sending it to the Irish service centre for whatever brand it is.

a good iny watchmaker is a better bet than an expensive return to england, where most are sent to. an indy watch maker in england fully serviced an f300 for me cost £60, omegas quote was £500.

I recommend Dawson jewellers too. Had some work done there a few months ago. Good people, great service http://dawsonjewellers.ie. They didn't have a website up until recently, well that I could find. But they have been around for a long time.
For the more lower end watch repairs dublin. Try fast fix in Blanchardstown http://www.fast-fix.ie/, definetely for lower end watches. But with a very quick turn around. depends what you're requirements are I suppose. I have used them too in the past.

I went to Sam Elliott today on Fade Street as recommended on the sticky here - has he moved?

Also, while I have your attention I have a watch similar to this :



I guess the spring bar popped on Saturday night and subsequently I lost the piece that stops the strap from shifting side to side along the bar. My strap is plain and doesn't have the two lines running down it. I've gone to a guy for a replacement but he said it might not be worth getting replaced and could be €15-€30 for a replacement but mightn't be worth the money. At worst he said he'd cut some silver tubing as spacers to stop the strap moving but honestly I'd never wear the watch again if that was the solution. Has anybody any ideas how much this should cost or about the apparent difficulty in sourcing spares of this part?

To be honest what I find really strange is that someone would answer a 2 and a half year old thread question??
Maybe I've missed something but it sounds more like someone looking with an answer that they are trying to find a question for?

I don't get this whole. What are you doing answering a thread which is over two years old. I don't choose to answer threads depending on their age. I do it based on my own interests and experiences.
Now, what I can't understand is that a person would come along and comment on a thread which is too years old, with a thread that is three years old! And from the UK? I mean seriously, have you nothing better to be doing. And what kind of convoluted sentence was that, answering a question with an answer or something similar. That's scary stuff, get some fresh air and sunlight. Internet addiction is a bitch.

Nothing to do with internet addiction as I see it anyway, just another experience of the establishment involved and the guy on the linked thread was Irish. It's just another opinion IMHO.

As someone else posted here recently, this sub-forum is a friendly little place, where people who share a common interest, try to help each other.

I see from the Motors forum (tyres) that you have resurrected a thread there also, and met with a similar repsonse to those above...pattern emerging yet?

I haven't been here long, but, so far, I like receiving help from some pretty knowledgeable and and helpful people - I'd like it to stay that way.


BTW - older threads are less relevant by their very nature. I can't imagine anyone having a problem with you answering threads based on your interests etc, but if the thread is out of date, then why bother?

drdoon

If a thread is of interest to me I will post, simple as that. Plus after I commented on this thread, there were further posts by other people who are also interested in the subject. As it has been said before age is just a number and that applies to alot of things. It wouldn't have been of interest to me two years ago but it is now. I'm not a 10,000+ contributor to boards as I do other things apart from post with my time. Hence I just tend to focus on topics of interest when I pop in every so often. Hope that answers your question :pac:

Resurrecting so called "Zombie threads" is considered bad form throughout this website.

Note also that "if a thread is of interest to me I will post, simple as that" and your general attitude behind lines like it won't fly around here. Neither will accusations of "internet addiction" and crap like "have you nothing better to be doing". Continue on this vein and you'll not be welcome on this forum and your ability to post on it will be removed.

As blindsider said this forum is a friendly place and we don't respond well to any unpleasantness. So please read the charter and the FAQ of this forum and Boards.ie in general, the biggest of which is "Don't be a dick".

If Zagat had not made a snide comment, I would not have gotten annoyed. Anyway is there anything wrong with resurrecting Zombies, they are cool.

Wibbs

If that's all it takes for you to get "annoyed" and act petulant I can't see you lasting for very long. Plus it seems you have difficulty in reading charters and FAQ's even when same are linked for you. Thread closed.

EDIT. restart another such thread and you will be banned from this forum.
