dddave Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 A friend visiting Bangkok for a month needs some minor repairs on a somewhat valuable antique watch. I would appreciate suggestions for a reputable repair shop, handy to the BTS/MRT if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgs2001uk Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Brand name of watch would help. There a place right next to the Conrad hotel that does repairs to top of the range watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) I used Cortina in the Erawan building for my Tudor. It was only a small repair and they were able to do it in the shop and an hour later it was ready. The handle a lot of the Major brands in there and I am sure would either be able to assist or to at least point your friend in the right direction. I am going in there next week to send mine off for a service. Edited January 12, 2012 by tolsti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Familyonthemove Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I was quoted 10,500 THB for a routine clean and service on an Omega in Siam Paragon Omega shop .... seems a bit steep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
personchester Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Brand name of watch would help. There a place right next to the Conrad hotel that does repairs to top of the range watches. I asked the "IWC" company in Switzerland where to service my IWC Pilot watch in BKK, the response was negative, and recommended sending the watch to their factory in Switzerland for a complete service and update.

katana Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 There used to be watch repairers in BKK in Chakrabongse Road at the junction with Khao San Rd. A few years ago they replaced the cracked glass on my watch for 100 Baht; did a really nice job too. Back in the West I was quoted a small fortune for the same job that made it uneconomical to proceed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
