krey Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have a watch given to me as a gift several years ago. It is a mechanical watch that will work if you wind it up or just by movement will keep it going. That part of the watch works great. However the little date box is stuck, you pull out the button to change the date and turn the button and it does not move. I been living with it but it drives me crazy for some reason. I would like to get it repaired by someone that won't destroy my watch trying to fix it. I have seen several little watch stalls in my travels but not sure if any are good or is there are better places to get it fixed in Chiang Mai Any suggestions?

WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Yes, here: https://www.google.co.th/maps/@18.7946868,98.9969331,3a,36.2y,163.38h,87.53t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sbRRcry-zLIWDiYRrM-IEgA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!5m1!1e1 Or if it's a luxury watch then there is a more high-end shop on Thapae Road. What's the brand name? I do have a bunch of mechanical watches but they're all shitters, so any shop will do. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffandgop Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I have a Concord watch that stopped operating properly after installing a new battery purchased from a watch repair kiosk..I took it to the watch repair shop on the 1st floor of Central in the Festival Mall and after inspection it was determined that the battery had leaked acid into the time piece. He disassembled and cleaned the damage and installed a new battery AND he warrants batteries and repairs. No more will I buy a watch battery from any of those kiosk stands. I do recommend you take your Oris to Central for an assessment and estimate to repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either the store I linked earlier, or the one on Thapae; Oris is pretty nice. https://www.google.co.th/maps/@18.7882907,98.9990553,3a,75y,164.36h,91.21t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1s7My0yJc17UJK5EYRj9hrmw!2e0!6s%2F%2Fgeo3.ggpht.com%2Fcbk%3Fpanoid%3D7My0yJc17UJK5EYRj9hrmw%26output%3Dthumbnail%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26thumb%3D2%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D332.2329%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektrified Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Looks like a nice Swiss watch. Charoensilp on Thannon Thapae could repair it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don’t confuse those with the professional watch repair shop IN CENTRAL. That is where I had my Concord repaired and it is an expensive watch.

jonwilly Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 There is a repair/service depot for Rolex in Bangkok. They will not accept watches or return by mail, I had to have mine delivered and collected by hand by friends visiting Bangkok. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe666 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Thinking that some shops should be better than others thapae road being mentioned took the wifes watch and about year later had filled with water after battery replaced, you cannot be sure about the service you get any where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAKAPALITA Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Why not Google the Service Centers for your brand. Rolex give you a warranty, but as a poster said you need to visit. They replace all the seals too regardless.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krey Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 as odd as this sounds once I started looking into trying to find a shop to fix it, the date turn just started to work the other day. I have no idea why, like the watch knew it was going to go to a service center and decided, no thanks I will fix myself. Really odd, will keep an eye on it.
