Record de Luxe - Repairs

[GS70]

Good evening all,

When my grandfather passed away (this was over 25 years ago) , I was given some of his things - have been revisiting these lately and have realised his watch (RECORD de Luxe 501088 is all the info I can see on it) was buried deep under a load of papers.

I would like to get this repaired and working again if I can - the crown is snapped off.

I have heard horror stories of bodged watch repairs so want to ask if anyone can suggest a reputable watch repairer that can help breath life into this watch again.

If it helps, I am based in Essex, but work in the City.

Thanks and appreciate any advice.

The watchbloke on this forum?

As you are in Essex, Simon Freese may be an option. He has quite a long waitlist but worth considering..... he is currently working on a vintage dive watch of mine.

Thanks both.

Not been on here for a while so wasn't aware of the watch bloke.

Simon is just up the road from me so will give him a call as a start.

I`m now back in Blighty after a holiday, just seen the thread. I`m happy to sort this out, I'll discuss with the OP via PM if he's interested.

I can highly recommend Paul.
