old fashioned watch repairs?
My OH has an old watch that belonged to his grandfather. It was broken when he inherited it and all the local jewellers could not repair it, but he found a man who had a little shop in a side street and he was a watch genuis. He fixed it and it worked for about 20 yrs. Now, its broken again, and the man in the shop has died. OH has tried to find somewhere similar but no luck. We live in Warrington, but are prepared to travel a reasonable distance if anyone knows of anyone.
