Hi all, I have the above and it needs a repair/service (stop watch not returning and rest button gone awol)

still keeps perfect time but would like a service as well, any recomended to do the job ? the watch means a lot to me so very hesitant about taking it anywhere to be be honest....

I'm in Essex and would like local'ish if possible (150 miles'ish is ok) purely as I would prefer to deliver/pick up in person rather then post it

hope someone can help with personal experiance

Thanks smile

Average Service cost is £150 on something like this.

Send me an email with details.
If you want, I will look at it for free, estimate for what it needs and see what you think

Always happy to help out where I can.

I just had my wife's automatic Oris fixed by Joe. Admittedly I have friends who live in Anglesey who transported the watch to him and got it delivered back to us.

However, the service was epic, cheap and effective. Plus, the person delivering the watch to him was so impressed they've had other work done by him.

  1. solidrecommendation.
