Reviews of Hour Willie Watchmaker & Jewellery Repairs

S. W.

I was so impressed with Willie and his watch repair, I handed In 2 watches. 1 for strap, and another 1 to be brought back to life,, both fixed auickly and absolutely. Fantastic condition especially after the polish n clean and fantastic rates 👍 thank you Willie ⌚

P. S.

I'm very impressed with the service I got when I took my watch to Willie for battery replacement. Setting up the automatic sync with the radio time signal proved extremely difficult and time consuming but Willie managed this after some research and perseverance. The watch came back looking like new with all of the stainless parts polished. My Seiko watch will be going to him for repair next.

F. 1.

Very helpful and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend Willie for watch and jewellery work.

T. W.

Great service from Willie took 2 watches to him a Tag heuer aquaracer for the battery and pressure test reseal and a CITIZEN ecodrive the glass was broken he replaced the glass and had taken all scratches from both great value for the work he put in.

C. S.

Found Hour Willie by chance on google search. So glad I did. Lovely genuine guy, honest advice. Very reasonably priced and two watches checked and batteries replaced in under 1 hour. Won’t go anywhere else now and will recommend to others. Thank you

I cannot praise this firm highly enough. My 1988 Seiko watch, which I have worn ever day for 32 years, fell off a surface. The glass got smashed to smithereens, causing the minute and second hands to come off. I found said hands but the particularly delicate second hand was very bent and twisted. I took it to Hour Willie more in hope rather than expectation, given that the hands looked beyond repair. In just 3 days I got a phone call to say it was all fixed and ready to collect. I was astonished...and the price was so reasonable. The casing and stainless steel strap has also been cleaned up and a new battery put in. I am just SO IMPRESSED beyond words and would recommend Hour Wullie to anyone in the country requiring a specialist repair for a watch, even a relatively old one like mine. It's good as new. Many, many thanks. As well as being a superb time-keeper, the watch has sentimental value and I feel so lucky to have discovered such a brilliant watchmaker..and virtually on my doorstep. Even if you don't live in Dunfermline, it would be well worth a trip there if you have a problem requiring a specialist.

I'm over the moon as Willie replaced the cracked glass on a watch my mum gave me. It's been sitting in a drawer for ages as jewellers were quoting more than the watch is worth. Willie fixed it quickly, replaced the battery, even polished a lot of scratches off the back of it and it looks great. Also replaced the battery on another watch. Cost was extremely reasonable. Would highly recommend.

Took my watch to Chisholm Hunter in Edinburgh Gyle for repair to a broken glass, they said there was a problem with the hands and gave me an estimated cost of £160.00, nearly the price of a new watch. I then took the same watch to "Hour Willie", who explained the problem with the hands were due to the battery not being charged, less than a week later my watch was ready for collection, the cost £25.00. On collection I could not believe it was the same watch, it looked in brand new condition, as good as the day it was bought 15years ago and used every day 24/7. It is without hesitation that I recommend William Smith to provide a first class watch repair service service at very reasonable prices.

B. M.

Disassembled and reassembled my fathers watch given to him by my mother who sadly passed away on New Year’s Eve last year. Dad gave me the watch and I wanted to restore it. Willie was great and charged me only £20 to comer mail in both directions. Great guy and great jeweller. Highly recommended

C. S.

Willie resized 2 rings and fixed and shortened my diamond tennis bracelet. He was very professional, clearly knows his stuff (been doing this since he was 15!) and I am so happy with the service provided. Quick, great price and my jewellery looks like new! Definitely recommend him and will be back to get the links removed from my bracelet made into earnings.

G. B.

Willie carried out a repair and replace of a Garmin running watch strap where the screw had threaded, meaning i was unable to replace the strap myself. Responded promptly to my initial message of contact, arranged for me to drop the watch by that evening, and called me the next morning to confirm the watch had been repaired and strap replaced. Excellent professional and value for money service, and i would recommend!

P. S.

Found Willie online to repair my Omega Speedmaster, self winding not working and strap broken. Repaired the watch after a few days and cleaned it. Absolute gentleman would highly recommend.

E. P.

Thanks Willie for replacing batteries in 2 watches for me, done quickly, great price, many thanks.

S. S.

Excellent service. Fixed 3 watches quickly and for a good price. Highly recommended

J. W.

Hour Willie managed to fit me in on a last minute weekend appointment to install a new battery in my tag but not only was he willing to do this on a weekend but also had it completed in a matter of hours whilst all other quoted days to complete this. I would highly recommend anyone to take their watches here and I will most certainly be using hour willie for my upcoming watch services

I. D.

Had an old timex watch for over 40 years and it finally stopped working,so googled watch repairs Dunfermline and Hour Willie watchmaker & Jewellery repairs was listed. After contacting Hour Willie and sending photos of my watch, he said to bring it to him,two days later I got a phone call to say watch is ready to be collected. He had replaced the faulty parts,put new winder and replaced battery and strap, also cleaned and polished the watch,all for a very reasonable price. I can highly recommend this watch repairer for all your watch repairs. I had to call Hour Willie again this time about a marble clock that my father had acquired from an embassy during the second world war.It had a busted spring and once again Willie managed to repair and manufacture parts to get it working,a lot of time and effort from him,and a very reasonable price charged for the work.

V. C.

Both myself and my husband has some scratches on our matching watches and high street jewellers were quoting us ridiculous prices. My husband called Willie yesterday and both our watches are scratch free cleaned and polished and look brand new. I would recommend Willie and even though I did not meet him my husband said he is a lovely genuine man who was very reasonably priced. Our watches will be going to Willie at least annually for a health check.

s. m.

Excellent service, would definitely recommend to family and friends. Thankyou hour willie for fixing my chain and watch.

P. J.

Took my TAG watch to Willie this morning for a battery change, this was done within the hour and cleaned too, all at a very very reasonable price. Brilliant service by Willie, would definitely recommend him, he is an honest, genuine and friendly guy, thanks again. Maggie.

J. F.

Excellent service with very good prices. Willie replaced four batteries for me and also fixed a light on one of the watches. He also cleaned the watches up as part of the service. Very friendly and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you

J. C.

Had an Armani watch that had sat in a drawer for a year as I cracked the glass and battery was dead. Took it to Willie - glass replaced, new battery, cleaned - got it back and it looks brand new! Great price and great service. Highly recommend...first class!

E. M.

We received the watch back within a day of contacting and within an hour after handing it over. Willie replaced the spring-bar in my watch, the latter of which was no longer on the market. He also removed some scratches and other minor damages to the watch - without request. Great service.

D. R.

Great service from Willie. Fixed both watches within a few hours. Very reasonably priced. Would have no hesitation about recommending Willie's services to anyone. Will definitely use his services again for all my watch needs.

C. S.

Good service and value from a nice chap. Willie went above and beyond to phone a store where we got a bracelet that was missing a pearl to try and find a match. We're happy with all 5 pieces we gave him to repair.

N. S.

Fantastic service at a cost hugely below what I had expected. The second hand came loose on my 15 year old Rotary watch. Not only did he repair this he also polished up the metal strap and glass face getting rid of numerous scratches. Took years off the look of my watch. Was expecting to have to buy a new one so saved me £££'s.

I have an expensive Ebel watch that in the past when the battery has needing to be replaced other jewellers have insisted that it needed to be sent off as it was a sealed unit and needed special equipment to change the battery. For this they charged me a fortune and i had no choice but to pay it. When the battery went again I googled watch repairs Dunfermline and found Willie. He asked me to bring the watch in for him to have a look at. It was returned me 2 hours later working and polished up like new, for a third of the price. It's so refreshing to come across a proper tradesman that knows his trade insight and out and isn't out to rip you off. I'd highly recommend Willie as he's a thoroughly nice person to deal with too. One very, very happy customer!!

J. B.

I recently needed a battery replaced on a Mondaine watch and had struggled to find someone who was able to do it. I had even gone to several places while in London and was turned away as they either didn't have the battery or didn't know how to do it. I phoned William and he knew straight away exactly what battery I needed and invited me to bring it into him. The watch was fixed and working perfectly within 10 minutes. Really impressed with the service and he was great to deal with. Would 100% recommend and I will be going to him for anything I need in the future.

S. M.

Fantastic service. Quick, reliable and extremely cost effective. Will be sending people there as the prices elsewhere in my experience for a Tissot watch battery were far more expensive. Nice one William 🚀

B. B.

Fantastic service from Willie, fitted new batteries and fully cleaned 3 watches in less than 1 hour. Easy parking so convenient would recommend his service without question. Thanks Willie.....Bob Dalgety Bay.

Having had my watch repaired I returned to Willie with a bracelet to see if he could fix it. I'd previously taken it to a jeweller in Edinburgh who told me it was highly unlikely that it could be fixed but he agreed to try soldering it. Unfortunately it broke again within 48 hrs so at that point I gave up hope and it sat in my jewellery box for years . I asked Willie to have a look at it. He was convinced it could be repaired so I left the bracelet with him and he returned it to me, within a few days, fully repaired and it's never been off my wrist since. I've just picked up bracelet number 2! He's a rare find and I would recommend people even travel to use him as he's not only extremely highly skilled he's also unbelievably fair with his fees. Thanks a million Willie!!

M.

First class service at a great price. Would highly recommend. Willie fixed two watches that had not worked in years. Many others told me that they couldn't be repaired....... Thank you 👍⌚

D. P.

We were so fortunate to have found such a talented craftsman as Willie right on our doorstep. His reconstruction work on a white gold single stone ring and repair to a two stone gold ring was quite outstanding and so reasonably priced. We would have travelled the length of the country for such an outcome.

C. P.

Willie provides a very good service. prompt, good value, very good work, and very friendly and we would recommend him to anyone needing watch or jewellery repaired. many thanks

I went to Hour Willie for watch battery replacements after reaching the end of the line with Timpson. After reading the positive reviews of the quality of Wiliie’s work I took my Skagen and my wife’s Rado watches to him just before 5pm a few days ago and received a call next morning to say they were ready. To say I was impressed with the results is a huge understatement. They both looked absolutely brand new, having been cleaned inside and out and all scratches and other minor blemishes removed and the cost of the work on both was considerably less than just the price quoted by the Rado watch retailer to return it to Rado to have the battery replaced. In short, I’d highly recommend Hour Willie for excellent, high quality work at a very competitive price.

A. T.

William was able to fix an engagement ring for us after the stone came out. I was really happy with the job and the reasonable price. I would use his services again.

J. W.

Brilliant repair. The shoulder on the bracelet of my watch was missing and pins were broken. Willie replaced, fixed, polished and returned it to me the same day I can highly recomend a repair from this real professional gentleman. Thank you '

M. F.

Has now fixed a smashed watch glass and saved a watch from a leaky battery. Both times cleaning and polishing the watches so they look like new. Great service and very reasonably priced too!

Willie has undertaken several jobs for me, service and workmanship is first class. He has undertaken work on two Omega seamasters and a Breitling aerospace, most recently serviced my wife's gold watch . A master craftsman who I can't praise highly enough. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, five stars all round.

A. B.

My wife had her wedding rings cut off at Hospital. Hour Willie did an excellent job repairing and resizing them. I would highly recommend him.

J. R.

Willie repaired two rings, took time to get a good match for missing stones and polished everything up before handing them back. Willie saved us just under £450 compared to an alternative quote. You'd be silly to go elsewhere.

N. R.

Hour willie fixed my Rolex Yacht master watch it had scrach on my case willie removed them and also removed them from my clasp like new a fantastic job this man has great talent and would recommend him for any watch or jewellery repair 5 stars *****

Done an amazing job with replacing the broken glass clock face on my watch and cleaning of all the components inside. All at a much better price than I was quoted elsewhere and the job was completed within 24 hours.

H. B.

Absolutely delighted that Willie was able to enlighten me as to why the new watch I had purchased as a Christmas present wasn't working, thank you Willie very grateful.

Willie changed batteries and cleaned both watches, a Tiffany and a Seconda for a very reasonable price. Thanks Willie.

My 17 year old TAG watch was needing a new battery and was looking a bit tired from daily use and it was by chance that I came across ‘Hour Willie Watchmaker & Jewellery Repairs’. Willie had a good look at my watch and what I got back after a few days was just amazing. Along with the battery change and a well needed service I am absolutely blown away with how the watch now looks. Willie has cleaned up all the scratch marks, has repainted the minute numbers and it now looks amazing. Thanks again. Cheers John

Had a older chrono Adidas watch which I had worn & used as my regular daily goto watch for many years. Had stopped several years back & had issues with the pushers not making as they should so was put away & forgotten about. Found Willie from online reviews & took it along to see what he could do with it. 2 days later watch was fully cleaned like new & working like it was when I bought it. Back to being on my wrist daily again. Excellent service & fully recommended.

W. A.

Took my watch to willie for repair & it was repaird for me within the hour at a very reasonable price. Friendly swift service, definitely recommended.

J. R.

Highly recommended. Tremendous service, very knowledgeable. Cannot rate Willie highly enough, such a nice guy too.

Excellent work on 2 items, a long treasured watch belonging to my late mother. Willie replaced long worn springs in the expandable bracelet as well as sprucing it up so it looks lovely and fits beautifully. Also a treasured mantle clock looking like new. Can’t praise his work too highly and great value.
