For you watch collectors/experts out there, where is best to get a watch serviced?
Cheers, Bal
Authorized dealer or chealwatches if the ad cost makes you baulk.
depends on the watch surely?
I'm getting a new movement fitted at the local watchmakers, but it's a 250 quid wedding present for work and not something super expensive.
Cheers for quick reply, its an old Paketa so not
worth anything but its immaculate and i love it
Try Steve at Rytetime.
C Heal a bit hit or miss.
It is actually not that hard to do yourself if you are patient and have some time.
DT78, i have neither!
No worries, I like playing with mechanical things - if it isn't a very valuable watch I would google around for a local independent. No point in taking into a high street jewellers, all they will do is send it off, takes ages and charge a premium.
There used to be lots on proper watch repairers on clerkenwell road ec1, not been there for a while they may have been priced out of the area now
Cheers for the replies guys, will try Rytetime
i use my next door neighbour. he is a high end watch repairer for a lot of jewellers around the country.
