I have my Grandfather's Timex in a box somewhere - he died in 1978, and it looks almost identical to that one! Very classy.

My first watch was a Timex, given to me aged about 8 years.
My next watch was a Rolex. From 'Timex to Rolex' has a nice ring to it.

Sentimental value Seiko repair recommendation?
I still have the Seiko watch that my parents gave to me in 1983 for my 21st.
Brought up in a working class family, the £35 that it cost then was a fortune.
I wore it most days until after 30 yrs it packed in and a clockmaker-skilled neighbour put a new mechanism in it.
That modern mech has failed after 10 years. Foolishly, I bought a mech and took the hands off, but was unable to rebuild it. D'Oh
Any recommendations where to send it as my neighbour has stopped repairs as he's 20 years past retirement!!
Much appreciated.

You could ask your local branch of Timpsons if they can recommend a watch repairer. Or if the new mechanism was another Seiko movement, then try a jeweler who sells Seiko watches.
