Watch

[Philip]

Don't suppose anyone is a amateur or professional watch maker. I have an old Fob Watch which i overwound and now not working. Don't mind paying something but not Jewellers rates, especially here in London.
Thanks Philip

I have had my watches worked on via a contact. The watchsmith is in London I believe.

Drop me a PM and I'll give you my contacts email.

Both my watches were serviced in a week (chrono's) for £100 each.

if you pop the back off the watch theres a little dog leg that moves when watch is wound you can gently ease it back and it will release the tension,if you want there is a watch and clock mender down the road from me could get him to look at it for you,if you can trust royal mail not to lose it.

A good clock (repairer|smith)? is worth every penny they charge. I personally wouldn't try to cut costs, especially where an older item is concerned.
