Question

what are the attempts made by the author to get his watch repaired​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hopeless the author gave it a last shot and went to a watch maker who turned out to be an erstwhile not a good steam- boat engineer. It was now that the author realised that “a good horse was a good horse until it had run away once and that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance at it. ”
