My old 'Mandarina Duck' Watch met its demise in the sea in Cyprus 5 years ago and required a new mechanism. I'd sourced that myself and just needed someone to fit it. Mark was the only Hitchin watch repair business that was prepared to do that for me (others wanted to source the mechanism themselves). So I was very happy with the service, friendly demeanour ... and ultimately having my watch back up and running again - thanks Steve

I recently had my watch repaired at shirleys watch repair and I was very impressed with level of expertise mark has gained over the years. The whole process from start to finish was great. If you have an expensive watch for repair or you need a strap or need a battry change go shirleys in the market, biggins lane Hitchin, you have nothing to worry about I highly recommended . I had a brilliant experience.
