Hi all and thanks in advance

Wish to have rather nice nurse style brooch watch converted into normal wrist one by having it attatched to magnetic bracelet. Am new in Manchester - so would someone recommend good inexpensive and obliging jewellers? Guessed H Samuel cheapest of large companies but thought I would check hear first.

Thanks again - Urk

    There's a decent (cheap) jewellers on Cheetham Hill Road (can't remember the name but it's near San Rocco restaurant. If you're coming from the city centre get the 135 bus as far as Seymour road. You'll see the jewellers on the right.

    Next time I go past I'll get the name and edit this post!

    Alternatively, in the city centre there are a few decent jewellers in st anns square
