UK WATCH REPAIRERS.

[owenemyr]

I have decided to share my listing of UK watchmakers that I have experience of, or have been recommended to me by various outlets selling pre-owned and mainly vintage watches etc.
This is not meant to be a definitive list, but is aimed at Omega, Rolex, Zenith and Breitling mainly, and I make no recommendations myself.

There is another hand made product that is frequently seen on this site or timezone UK (if you can actually get on it) but I cant recall the site, it may be "Toshi" or similar, and also a French Paris based hand made products also seen on this site and timezone.
Perhaps someone else can provide this info.

Regards to all you collectors.

Ryte Time also deserve to be included.

They feature in the original post, but I forgot about Martins of Glasgow.
