Your local branch will best be able to advise you as to current charges. Q: Can you pressure test water resistant watches? A: Yes either in branch or at our central workshop. Q: Are you able to service mechanical watches? A: This service is available in our central workshop. Please call into your local branch for details. Q: How much does a typical service cost?A: A basic quartz service starts from £40. A service to a mechanical timepiece starts from around £85. Q: Q: What does a service involve?A: The watch movement is firstly completely stripped down. All components are disassembled and ultrasonically cleaned of their old lubricating oils.
Each part is then checked, and any worn parts are repaired or replaced. (If a quartz movement, then the electrical circuit is also checked, tested and replaced if necessary and a new battery fitted). The movement is then built back up, re-lubricated with the correct oils and regulated to be as accurate as possible. Finally the watch is resealed and if requested valeted by both machine and hand polishing. This means that at completion, each timepiece is not just mechanically sound on the inside but looks fantastic on the outside. Q: Can you obtain branded watch straps from manufactures?A: Many of these are available by special ordered from your local branch. We also at your request make bespoke items, including one off handmade straps, for your timepiece. Q: Do you remove watch links?A: Every branch has been trained to offer this service while you wait in most cases. Cost will depend on the work required but will typically be £5-£10. Q: Do you repair Clocks?A: Unfortunately we currently do not offer a clock repair service.
