    Hi all, can anyone give me a few recommendations of places that repair watches? Have a couple of watches that I found under the bed after a clean out over the holidays and they need various things done: new strap, links broken, hand died, stuff like that.

    Any places that deserve the business, please post them here!

    Is that the place just inside the back entrance? I had one of the watches in there three times and every time it was fixed it broke again, so won't be going back. The price was always good and the woman was friendly, but they were unable to permanently fix the main watch I want fixed so if any one else has any ideas? Thanks anyway wellboy. What's Island Lane like for repairs?

    Jason when getting it repaired make sure the seal is replaced. Had mine few years back in with a jeweler in town to get the a new battery. Got home had a shower and the watch was on the sink away from water, steam got in and killed it. Was a damn good watch one at that. Jeweler never replaced the seal and never told me either. They had to replace the watch when I went to consumer affairs.

    I can definately recommend Island Lane, Had mine in for repair, it stopped again after six months they replaced the battery for free, than lasted another 6 months. At this stage they replaced the mechanism for only €54and never had another problem - that was 2 years ago.
