Watch repair

Anyone know a decent watch maker/repairer?
I have a watch which needs a tiny bar part made to fix the bracelet back onto the face, but most places don't really have the skills anymore, so its 'a new strap' which is a few hundred quid. That seems daft, so would like a proper old school watch repairer to have a look. Cheers.

I am a member of a couple of watch forums, and I have not (yet)used them personally, but if you want a place you can visit easily, these guys usually get good recommendations:

Thanks vm, I will see what they have to say.

I use SJV on Lower Marsh, Steve is old school, honest and they fix them there so the prices are old school too.

Check this link out from way back,

100 Lower Marsh

I would recommend SDV @ 100 Lower Marsh too, they always give a free quote before going ahead with the repair. All repairs to my watches and clocks have been completed in a week of me giving them the OK. Their rates are reasonable to cheap. Go visit and make up your own mind

I can add my name to those who recommend SDV. Picked up my watch this week after having the bracelet shortened and the glass replaced. Great jib and I thought reasonable price too.

The place I had put it in with for a quote threw in a full bracelet valet making it a much better deal than they had originally offered, so hopefully that will work out fine. Useful to have this info going forwards though, thanks all.
