Fantastic Watch Jeweller that also offers repairs services. Had a watch that had a tricky battery replacement and required certain tools and was able to get issue resolved here. Really friendly customer service and a must place to visit if your searching for a pre-owned luxury watch.

Mark has always been a friendly face, everytime we go into Guess. He is always happy to help where it can been provided and always upfront with you if he can't, which is a nice change from other stores. There is always a variety of items to buy in the shop, especially the new sculptures, which we now have four. Definitely recommend
