1. Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a thorough examination of your watch to identify issues such as movement irregularities, water damage, or worn components.

🧩

2. Disassembly & Inspection

The watch is carefully disassembled, and each part is inspected under magnification to detect wear, corrosion, or damage.

Damaged or worn parts are repaired or replaced with genuine components to maintain the watch’s integrity and value.

5. Lubrication & Reassembly

Precision lubrication is applied to reduce friction, and the watch is reassembled with careful attention to detail.

Watch Servicing & Repairs — FAQs

Clear answers about pricing, brands, turnaround, water-resistance, genuine parts and more at our Piccadilly workshop.

? How much does watch repair cost in Piccadilly?
Pricing depends on brand, complication and condition. Typical guides: battery & reseal £25–£45, full service (mechanical) from £180, chrono service from £260, polish/refinish £60–£150. We confirm a fixed quote after inspection—no obligation.
✓ What types of watches do you repair and service?
Mechanical, automatic and quartz watches from Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Cartier, Breitling, Tudor, Longines, Seiko, Tissot and more—plus complications (chronograph, GMT, calendar) and micro-brands.
⌛ Do you repair vintage or antique watches?
Yes. Our approach is sympathetic: preserve originality, conserve dials/hands when possible, and source period-correct or custom-made parts if originals are discontinued.
▶ Can you fix a watch that has stopped ticking?
Usually yes. Common causes are depleted battery, dried lubrication, magnetisation, or worn train/escapement parts. We run diagnostics, advise options, then proceed only with your approval.
⚡ Do you offer same-day watch repairs?
Many services are same-day (battery & reseal, bracelet sizing, quick fixes). Full services and vintage work take longer; urgent requests can be prioritised on request.
💧 Is water-resistance testing included after service or battery change?
Yes—where the model is rated, we replace seals, then perform pressure testing. Divers can be vacuum & pressure tested to stated depth where applicable.
🏷 Will you use genuine parts for my watch?
We fit genuine OEM parts whenever available. If discontinued, we use approved OEM-equivalent or custom-fabricated components to manufacturer specification—always discussed in advance.
📅 Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Walk-ins are welcome. For complicated/vintage pieces, booking ensures a specialist is available and speeds up the assessment.
⏱ How long does a typical watch repair or service take?
Battery & reseal: while you wait to 1 hour. Standard service: 3–10 days. Vintage/chrono or parts sourcing: 2–4 weeks. We provide an ETA after inspection.
📍 Where are you located?
We’re inside Piccadilly Circus Underground Station (Unit 9), Central London—just off the main ticket hall, 1 minute from the barriers.
🛡 Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes. Most services include a 12-month warranty on workmanship and fitted parts (excludes accidental damage, moisture ingress due to misuse, or unauthorised opening).
£ Is there a diagnosis or estimate fee?
No charge for basic inspection and quotation. Complex tear-down diagnostics (rare) are agreed beforehand and offset against approved work.
🧽 Do you offer case/bracelet polishing with service?
Yes—sympathetic refinishing available (brushed & mirror). We protect edges and geometry; over-polishing is avoided. See our Watch Polishing page for pricing.
🔒 Will servicing affect water-resistance on my diver’s watch?
Servicing includes new seals and pressure testing. Water-resistance is not permanent—have it checked annually if you swim or dive regularly.
🧭 How often should I service my watch?
Mechanical/automatic: every 3–5 years. Quartz: battery & seals every 2–3 years; full service around 5–7 years. Heavy water use = annual pressure test.
