Does anyone know if the man in the corner of the square in Albox still does repairs?

I took a bracelet in there late on friday to be collected on monday. One of the links had broken and needed soldering. When I collected it I told him it had been bought for me around 10 years ago and it had only left my wrist during necessity at hospital visits. I told him his father had sold it back then and that he had been a very helpful person.¡ whereupon the 4 or 5 € charge suddenly dissolved away. SS her held the door open for me he said he looked forward to seeing me in 10 years time. As I drove home it suddenly hit me that he'd been taking the micky in view of my current age... Don't you just love the Spanish? :grin: :grin: :grin:

My son who lives in Germany brought his watch to this guy and saved him a lot of money. Then my son then took his Tag Heuer into him for.
repair. To send this back to the factory would have cost 1000€, but he sorted it for 450€. My opinion is why would you spend all this money for a watch? :laugh:
I want one of these

Something wrong with your sea weed, Judi?
I used to go there for batteries, I was lucky if they lasted 6 months so I went to the new shop opposite Euronics, 5 years later it's still ticking over. Chinese batteries 50c retail - he charges 3 euros (or more)
I also went for a repair to a Seiko automatic self winding watch, the old guy (father?) had a go and wrecked it, all he was supposed to do was re-glue the gold rectangle back onto the face that surrounded the date. It took them 3 days and came back a right mess.
I'll never go there again! :thumbsdown:
Obviously you can only speak as you find, Drax. I've only ever had good experiences from them. The 'Son' does end to be a little dour and unsmilling but
somewhere under that, there is a sense of humour.. :wink:
