Chicken bald back

Random question time!

 

I have a very gorgeous Fossil watch which has a brown leather cuff type strap with stitching & embroidery on it - I adore it...it is my winter watch.

Although it all looks in very good condition, the 2 little leather loops that hold the strap down have perished. One fell off yesterday & the other is almost worn through. I blame my job,as my arm is constantly grazing the top of the till.

 

Anyhow,does anyone know anywhere I can get there little thingys replaced?

I don't mind sending it someone if needs be,but the place I bought it from have told me that there is nothing to be done to fix it.

Such a shame if that is the case,as it looks like new still & all of its beauty is in the strap,but I cannot bear having a flappy strap end!

Our local shoe repairer does leather repairs too, try one near you.

 

Might be worth wearing a 'less favourite' watch to work if that's what happens.

Yeah,my daughter has commandeered my spare watch

Or I would have worn it to work,as it just plastic.

Just called Fossil, & I can send it in for an estimate of repair,but it will take 4 weeks

And then it may be just a replacement strap....£45

 

Yes,a leather place...I will look in Reading tomorrow.

Maybe a saddlery shop could help? When I worked in one we used to get all sorts in for repair including handbags, watches and even shoes
