ThunderDuck Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 The second hand has fallen off my trusty Seiko divers watch. Can anyone recommend a shop for repairs? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat7 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 At the big c' entrance, there is a watch stall, I used to fix my watch. It was a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wileycoyote Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I would recommend the watchmaker on the corner of the street opposite Edisons and the Thai Farmers kiosk beside the main entrance of the Nightmarket. He has been there for over 20 years that I know of,he speaks good English,will give you a fair quote (which permits a slim haggling as well ) and it will be ready ,when he says it will be ready for collection,He has sold us & serviced many watches for the whole family over the years.He is also honest enough to say if it is beyond repair.

Wiley Coyote Theres another guy on the corner of the soi and main street that runs down past Edison(Tops) towards the Wangcome Hotel. We have bought watches from him and also had repairs done and cheap as well. He has been there 25 years that I know of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
