Hi there,
I have a few old watches (stuff like Enicar, Pagol, Favre Leuba, etc) running on ETA which need some minor repairs.
As these are not high end watches, I'm not keen to send them to those proper repair shops like located at some of the shopping malls coz they charge close to 4 figures to service, repair and polish a watch.
I'ver read that some of the senior collectors here know of experienced individual watch repairers who are freelance. Would greatly appreciate if anyone can PM me some contacts in KL.
Thanks.

To the moderators, if I broke any of the forum rules, please remove this post.

The shop is located between the klang train station and klang post office.
Its across the road from cimb bank. The master watch maker is a very old man.
Its very easy to locate if you are there. Don't recall the name of the shop.

dear jefnando,
went looking for the watch shop in Klang. Couldn't find any watch shop opposite CIMB but there was one opposite OCBC in between Klang Rail Station and Post Office…
Did you get confused between CIMB and OCBC as both are having red signboards.

My mistake, it is opposite OCBC, really sorry, although I'm from klang but I'm based in sabah for a few years already. But I've confirmed it today and even gotten the name and contact number of the shop. Those interested can pm me.

No problem bro… :laugh:
Can you pm me the shop/ guy's name and contact number please?
Does he repair ETA/Vj/Unitas since he is a Rolex specialist?
