Watch strap repair?

[jonjon]

Bought a "Rolex" watch from Icmeler a couple of years ago, been a great watch, self winding and all the smaller dials work perfectly and keeps perfect time.
However the metal strap has broke Does anyone know of any of tne watch sellers or even jewellers that can either repair the strap or replace with another metal or even willing to have a leather strap.
Also any idea of cost.

TIA

When you go to the market and are looking to buy another watch ask them if they will put a new strap on the one you have, for a sale they usually will. You can always add some lira to the price so they don't lose out.

Thats a good idea Tinkerbelle, but thought that alot of the sellers would be just that sellers and not have much to do with the repair of them, but sure worth a go, thanxs

I had a brand new stainless steel strap put on my breitling last year for £7. The guy a couple of doors down from harrys Steak House will do it while you wait, around 30 seconds!

I did it myself last year. They are very good as long as you are actually buying something off them.

There's also a watch repair shop on the same side as the L'Etoile hotel but nearer the beach - sorry I'm not very good at giving directions
