I dropped him a line yesterday, I need an Omega 6b/159 repaired - but the last note on his site is from 2018?

Yes

Best to give him a call as he was getting too much spam in his inbox to manage the genuine enquiries. He sorted a Rolex for me earlier this year at a very good price. Neededd a new genuine part that he pulled out all the stops to get the drive wheel as cheap as possible sealed/new from the US.

Been trying to get hold of Joe but no answer when I've called. Will keep trying but if anyone knows if he's around let me know. Thanks.

Joe’s facebook page is still up, try him on there. I remember him telling me how busy he is.

Any other options for contacting Joe?
I'm not on Facebook so can't use that route.
I dropped a watch in for repair in December - he was still waiting on parts in March when I last spoke to him.
I've since got another that need a service/repair.

Update: the shop is still closed and when it opens will only do so for one day a week to allow social distancing (the shop is in a small arcade with little space, so each store will trade for one day).

However, Joe now has almost all of the kit at home that he needs for repairs and he is working his way through the backlog.

The best way to contact him is through the Anglesey Watches and Clocks Facebook page 'Send Message' feature.

Anglesey must be a mecca for watch makers, and clock repairs

I've always used Peter Rowe watchmakers in llangefni

Anyone had any joy contacting Joe of late.

Seem's like the main phone line is dead, mobile rings but is not answered & I can't find him on Facebook anymore?

Yes. Message him through the FB page. He called me the other day from the shop, but it isn’t currently open every day.

Very quick reply from his Facebook site, watch is already on the way to him for the customary speedy turnaround.

The line is actually VOIP over a 4G connection. When this fails the line is dead until the network disconnects you.
