marmaduke Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I had my Rolex cleaned and serviced at watch shop lower level of Harbor Mall . Seems dedicated and knowledgeable. I was happy with his prices and workmanship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophers200 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Entrusting the repair/servicing of a highend/value watch to other than an authorised service centre would IMO be very risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got quoted 30 quid in London. Mr Wong repaired it for 100 baht although that was around 10 years back. The timepiece is around 40 years old, still keeps perfect time and I wear it most days.

actonion Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I have a 30 + year old Longines watch that stopped working 5 years ago. a friend recommended i take it to a small shop in Soi Burkow.. he fixed it & it still works. 5 years ago i took it to the Longines office in Bangkok, they said i should throw it away and buy new. ON entering Soi Burkow from Pattaya klang it is the first shop on your left hand side.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He diagnosed the problem with the watch in a few minutes. It required a new circuit board in the Tag Heuer. $2,500 Baht and repaired in 3 hours. Excellent.

soloseaview Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hi I have a 45 year old Omega watch that had, about a year ago, stopped working. I took it to a very polite and knowledgeable repair guy in Soi Buakhao and it has worked perfectly ever since. Directions to his shop: Proceed down Pattaya Klang from the Sukhumvit, go past 3rd Road and turn into Soi Buakhao on the left. His shop is a few yards up on the left. Parking can be difficult here though. I hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airalee Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I’m guessing TAG uses ETA quartz. You didn’t state the model so I can’t tell you which one. Here are the available movements so you can have a better idea of whether you want to repair vs replace. https://www.esslinger.com/eta-watch-movements/?sort=priceasc Nothing wrong with a Quartz watch.

stud858 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 There is a watch repair place CNR centre Rd and soi bua khao He couldn't help with my Skagen glass repair because part not available to him. I had to go to official Skagen repair agent. But I'd go back and give him a shot. Going on vibe only, worth trusting. But vibe can be wrong. At your own risk.

I bought a Grand Seiko quartz just out of interest and respect for what they have done with their 9f movement. I also have an Aqua Terra quartz (in addition to 4 automatic newer Omegas) that is my daily beater. I wouldn’t however buy a Rolex, PP, VC or AP quartz.
