I'd recommend Watchguy as well. Had my mid '70s Omega done there.
Very good service, photos as he disassembles and reassembles. Replaced parts sent back to you .
Only issue is having to book in for a repair slot which are only released at certain times. But at least that manages expectations.
Cheaper to buy a donar watch to service most low range Seikos and swap new for old, then sell the donar and old movement. My 40 year old mechanical alarm watch is costing £150 roughly to fully service. Value mechanicals ftw!
For my Brietling I just went into a high street shop that sells them and they send theirs back to Brietling themselves so I did that. Cost £375 in total and it came back like brand new with a new face, hands, strap polished back to new. It was 10 years old before I serviced it and in that time it's appreciated by £500, assuming you keep things regularly serviced, so well worth it. Came back in a nice brand new travel case. I guess if you buy into the posh watch thing you have to accept the ongoing running costs.
Looks at 17 year old G-shock that's been treated badly for all those years and never needed anything. There's only one watch to rule them all. BEHOLD!

As I said before certain omegas can only be properly serviced by omega. I was told that by an independent high end jeweller who didn't like to turn down the work but was honest enough to admit it.
I can recommend Ryte Time...did a great job on my Monaco.
Can recommend this place. Did my SeaProf this year 🙂

Presumably, all the haterz ride Raleigh Mustangs and use chip pan lard to grease their chains?
funkmaster - I had one of them! I wish I still did. It's gone into the big dustbin of life though 🙁
Me too 😥 we should petition Omega to make a metal one with an actual fully functioning robot.
Always amazes me how stupid rich people are with money.
Any recommendations for a place to service a Rolex in That London Town? It's probably 40 years old and loses a couple of minutes a day 🙁
Well, this particularly rich and stupid person spends about £120 every 4 or 5 years having his 1967 Omega serviced by an independent watchmaker. With an original ticket price of £70 ( in 1972) that watch has cost about £1.50 a year, plus the three times I've had it serviced since I inherited it. I'm not sure how many times Dad had it serviced, but I doubt it was very often.
My current Omega cost around £3k and has an 8 year service interval. I fully expect it to last at least as long as the vintage one, and I expect some dickhead on the internet will be criticising my son for owning and looking after it (and the Constellation which he will inherit as well) in 45 years time. But there you go, that's rich and stupid for you.
Second or third Duncan at Genesis. He's a true gent and pleasure to deal with. Here is an example of pricing:

Another vote for Duncan at Genesis.
Nice guy and reasonable prices

Try this place, they are the Clerkenwell end of Hatton Garden. I have a Tudor that's a bit older than your Rolex and now runs perfectly after a service (to my knowledge the 1st service it had ever had)
