Cinnamon Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 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!

The Dogmother Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 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.

Redwing Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
