Hey all, quick question,

I recently got left my Grandfathers 'Roamer' watch. It's worth nothing in monetary terms but obviously has a lot of sentimental value to me. Where would be the best place to go in Dundee in order to get it a service and a tidy up?

Any info greatly recieved - cheers :)

Alternatively there's the watch repair manny on the ground floor of debenhams in the overgate, you need to go past all the tango faces to get to him tho :blackeye

got round to sending my watch off in January. got it back this morning.

Repaired, Serviced, polished. Really happy and it looks like new, I must stop wearing it to fix the car :roll:

The phone call on Friday to pay the repair bill might have cost me a few more pounds though :wink:

Thanks for the heads up.

Is that for the TAG?
I replaced my Monza strap recently:

Not the original of course but great quality considering the massive saving...

As you know I am not into watches, but Ian has asked me for my opinion on this watch. Not asking for anybodies else opinion as it is very personal thing, but I would not go for a designer watch, and at £300 I would want a conventional movement unless quartz is now better at this price range.

However I just googled this site, assume they are copies, but prices seem high for fakes. Could one of you experts help me out please?
