    A Jinks of Rowley Regis - watch service & repair. Reviews?

    I was wondering if anyone on here has experience of A Jinks in Rowley Regis?

    I'm looking for someone to service my Breitling and have been told he is more than capable of doing the job.

    Unfortunately it's a very old school business and there appear to be no reviews of his work online here or anywhere else.

    My appreciation, in advance, for any reviews you can give me.

    No help from me I'm afraid, but, 'A Jinks of Rowley Regis' has a certain 'old worlde charm' that conjures up lovely images of days gone by.

    Indeed mr nealy.
    Reminds me of fly fishing by j. R. Hartley.
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    A Jinx, sorry just seems obvious.

    I have never, in all my years of living in the West Midlands, heard anyone suggest that Rowley Regis has an old worlde charm

    Salt of the earth people black country folk, some of the nicest I've ever met (and that's coming from a born and bred Brummie) but the place itself is past it's best unfortunately.

    Not sure how old that Google photo is, maybe he's re-decorated?

    OP, if I drive past I'll let you know if it looks ok.

    Thanks so far everyone. It's a real old school watch and clock repairs place and the guy who run it appears to know his stuff and does it for love rather than money. I'd just like someone who has taken something there of decent quality to reassure me ;)
