    Advice/recommendation sought

    I have had this Ball watch for 10 years or so. It has so many radioactive tritium microtubes that I can even use it as a dim torch to find things on my bedside table in the dark!
    Never serviced.
    Now it has stopped and I would like to get it serviced. Can anyone recommend someone? I have another Ball serviced some some years ago by JV Watchmakers in Hamilton but they are still covid-closed (!), else I would have sent it to them (I live in Orkney so have to send). Grateful for any pointers about whom to send it to.

    Thank you

    That’s great. I didn’t that. I’ll bear in mind but have to say I am prejudiced in favour of independents.

    Ask about STS on here. They have a good reputation. I think they will send you a reply paid pouch for your watch. They have good comms. Give them a call - it can't hurt.

    Followed your advice

    I did take your advice and spoke with them. They do sound very nice and I am posting the thing to them. Thank you so much for your help.
