December 9, 2025Dec 9 Does anyone know of a good watch repairer in Pattaya or thereabouts? It’s a decent watch - a Mont Blanc - I bought for my wife years ago and it has given up the ghost. probably irreparable but I wouldn’t mind an expert confirming that.

I saw some recent posts regarding a watch repair guy on soi Buakhou, Pattaya Klang end Apparently he's one of the best in Pattaya.

Very unlikely that a Montblanc will be irreparable unless it has been physically damaged. The higher-end models will be reparable by Montblanc and the entry-level watches generally use an ETA movement which is easily and inexpensively repaired or replaced. Call Montblanc in Bangkok, they may be able to point you in the right direction - 02 078 1160

Why not take it to the Montblanc boutique that you bought it from?

I bought it in the U.K. While I am here in the U.K., the missus and the watch are in Thailand and I’m not keen sending it to MB in Bangkok. To be honest it’s has been given up for dead for a couple of years and I’m not keen on throwing good money after bad. Would rather let a local shop have a go and if not - well, nothing lost. I’ll buy her a new one as a surprise when I retire.
December 9, 2025Dec 9 My "watch." Fyi, I stopped buying watches 50 years ago. Nowadays all watches are just a form of bling-bling. They are utter useless anachronistic appendages attached to your arm which are more likely to get caught on a sharp object and yank your shoulder out of its socket. Except as status symbols, watches are over the hill for those whom are over-the-hill.

December 9, 2025Dec 9 Popular Post I've been to five different watch repair shops in Pattaya in the last 2-3 years. Mr. Jacks was the most expensive and also the slowest. Quality of work was fine, but in addition to being expensive and slow I had to deal with a sales person, did not get to talk to the watch smith. The best shop by far was Bombs Watch Repair Shop. It's a one man shop and he is often not open during his advertised hours so would be worth calling in advance.: ข้างร้านตัดผม ติดกับ 7-Eleven ร้านอยู่ฝั่ง 47/115 ม.10 Soi Khopai 3, ตำบล หนองปรือ Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150 https://www.facebook.com/BombsWatchmaker

I’m surprised the World Health Organisation hasnt deemed it a global medical emergency.

December 15, 2025Dec 15 Mr Jack's repaired my wife's Longines recently and even got a new movement for my Breitling.

December 18, 2025Dec 18 Author Thanks for the recommendations chaps. In the end ‘er indoors took it to Mr Jacks and they did a very good job.
December 20, 2025Dec 20 Bit late, but I've also used Sue's next door to Jacks for repairs. Good job good price.

I guess we'll just have to agree to differ.
December 21, 2025Dec 21 Author Mine is utterly useless, a status symbol and likely over the hill, but I don’t care because I consider it a thing of beauty.
