Watch Repairer for Tissot
Discussion
Can anyone recommend a watch repairer to work on an old Tissot Divermatic for me? Ive tried a well-known and respected repairer (who I usually recommend here), but he wants £100 to service it, which is unrealistically expensive.
The real aggravator for me is that he only wants £75 to repair a FAR more expensive Oris, which actually has a higher grade of the same ETA movement fitted. For a reason that I cant fathom he places Tissot one group higher than Oris and charges accordingly.

Have you tried Tissot themselves?The real aggravator for me is that he only wants £75 to repair a FAR more expensive Oris, which actually has a higher grade of the same ETA movement fitted. For a reason that I cant fathom he places Tissot one group higher than Oris and charges accordingly.
A mate of mine had a T-touch that broke (digital display went mental, crystal stopped responding), sent it back to Tissot and they repaired if FOC. He then dropped it accidentally from a pretty good distance and it broke again.
He shoved it in a draw and forgot about it. Fast forward a few months and he let me have it for £40 (seems alot for a non working watch but I wanted to try and get it fixed and didn't like seeing it in a draw loose with old pens and scissors etc).
Quick very polite and friendly phone call to Tissot, explained the situation, sent it in to them as requested with a covering letter, 4 days later the watch was back in my hand fully repaired with a new movement, crystal, a nicely polished case and a letter from Tissot appologizing for the problems I had experiened. They did this for free!! (I still have the invoice showing all the parts fitted and £0 in the cost box)
I know it might not work for all but I was very impressed with their customer service department and it's gotta be worth a shot to see how much they will charge (or not)? Try the 'sentimental' route?
ps. I offered it back to my mate for what I paid (£40) and he flat out refused as he figured it was a 'jinxed' watch for him.
