    Afternoon

    I'm relatively new to collecting vintage watches and am seeking a good, reliable person to service my humble collection.

    I've been recommended The Watch Guy, but understand his workload is such that new business is sometimes turned away.

    I would appreciate a steer....I am in Kent but obviously would look further afield.

    Watches (so far)...DJ 1987, Tissot Seastar from the 79s, Zenith from the 60s, and a young DeVille chrono from 1996.

    Many thanks.
    Mark.

    Duncan, the Watch Bloke is worth every bit of a long wait.

    There's a member here who's a British Institute of Horology certified watchmaker and has UK clients who ship him watches to France where he lives, his name is Rob Horan aka @Horlogerie.
    Also people on TZ-UK seem to like a guy named Brendan Hoey, webwatchmaker or something like that.
