    seeking advice on watchmaker for a repair

    As I haven't been able to contact Simon Freese via phone/email/instagram, I'm trying to find another watchmaker to repair my Heuer Autavia 3646 (a Val. 92 chrono). Preferably I would like to be able to bring it in personally, which means the shop would have to be in London. I'm wondering if anyone might have used any of the following shops. They all have decent Google reviews, but experience suggests that's not a foolproof means of judging quality.

    I'd also welcome advice regarding a shop that isn't in London, if I can mail it. However, I'll only be in London for another two months or so, which might present a problem. I'd love to send it to Mr. Freese again but I can't seem to reach him. From what I hear he's quite busy these days.

    You've missed Steven Hale on South Moulton Street from the list.

    Rolex St James recommend him.

    I have sent inquiries to the two recommended shops (and also to Richard Askham, who was recommended to me via PM). Thanks!
