    I sent an email to info@watchrepairs.ie and got the following:
    Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:

    info@watchrepairs.ie

    Technical details of permanent failure:
    Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the server for the recipient domain watchrepairs.ie by mail3.novara.ie. [80.93.17.2].

    The error that the other server returned was:
    550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1)

    Does anyone know if they are trading still??

    I really hope so. Their website is still up and has a contact phone number. I'd ring them next week.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I sent them an email a few weeks ago about a repair and they never replied.

    I spoke to emily on the 086 number on the website. Still trading!
    May have been an issue with the email.

    Well she must be gone again because I've rang and emailed several times and getting nothing. I was hoping not to pay high street prices on a repair but was reluctant to go back to her because after sending her the last watch it was near impossible to get hold of her to find out what repair she even planned for the watch so I guess she's not doing running this as a serious business. If anybody know any other watch repair company's that offer a fair cost repair I'd be interested?

    Not great Comms is it?:mad:
    You could try John Donoghue in Kilkenny.
    http://www.thevintagewatch.net
    He repairs modern watches as well as vintage. I spoke to him last autumn about a repair on a vintage Heuer. In the end I sold the watch on so I can't vouch for his service. All I know is that he does exist!
    There are loads of very good guys in the UK. If the watch is relatively low in value may be worth exploring. Getting insurance on them is practically impossible from Ireland which is a huge PITA.
    Good luck
    John

    If you want to chance going to the UK Duncan at Genesis is highly recommended on Timezone UK
