Watch Repair Piccadilly – Our 6-Step Precision Repair Process

At Watch Repair Piccadilly, our certified horologists follow a meticulous, expert-led process to restore your timepiece’s functionality and appearance. Whether it’s a modern luxury watch or a vintage heirloom, here’s how we ensure top-tier repairs:

🧭

1. Comprehensive Assessment

We begin with a thorough examination to identify movement irregularities, water ingress, worn components, or case integrity issues—documenting findings before any intervention.

🔎

2. Disassembly & Inspection

The watch is carefully disassembled; every component is inspected under magnification to detect wear, corrosion, or damage while preserving manufacturer tolerances.

🫧

3. Ultrasonic Cleaning

Components are ultrasonically cleaned to remove dirt, oxidization, and old lubricants, ensuring a contaminant-free foundation for precise reassembly and smooth performance.

⚙️

4. Repair & Replacement

Damaged or worn parts are repaired or replaced with genuine components to maintain authenticity, reliability, and the long-term value of your timepiece.

🛢️

5. Lubrication & Reassembly

Precision lubrication is applied at critical contact points to reduce friction and wear; the movement is reassembled to factory specifications with meticulous care.

6. Calibration & Final Testing

We regulate the movement for accurate timekeeping, then perform water-resistance and functionality tests. Only after passing all checks is your watch returned to you.

+ What types of watches do you repair?
We repair quartz, automatic, and hand-wound watches from leading Swiss and Japanese brands including Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, Cartier, Breitling, Tudor, Longines, Tissot, Seiko and more. Services cover movement overhauls, water-resistance restoration, glass/crystal replacement, bracelet & clasp repairs, dial/hand work, and case refinishing.
+ Do you repair vintage or antique watches?
Yes. Our horologists provide sympathetic restoration for vintage and antique pieces, prioritising originality. We source period-correct parts where available, preserve dial patina on request, and avoid over-polishing to maintain case geometry and value. Estimates are provided after bench inspection.
+ Can you fix a watch that's stopped ticking?
Absolutely. For quartz watches, common fixes include battery replacement, contact cleaning, and circuit or coil repair. For automatic/mechanical, we address mainspring breaks, balance/hairspring issues, and lubrication or wear within the gear train. We diagnose in-store and provide a fixed quote before proceeding.
+ Do you offer same-day watch repairs?
Yes—many while-you-wait or same-day services are available: batteries & reseals, bracelet adjustments, pin/screw replacements, spring bars, pressure testing, and minor crown/pusher fixes. Movement services, complex water ingress, and parts sourcing typically require more time.
+ Is water-resistance testing included?
When a case is opened, we replace gaskets where required and can perform a pressure test to your model’s rating on request. For divers, we recommend annual testing or after battery changes, impacts, or heat exposure. Test results can be documented for your records.
+ Will you use genuine parts for my watch?
We prioritise genuine OEM parts whenever available. For discontinued references, we source authentic NOS or high-grade equivalents (with your approval). All parts used are disclosed on your invoice for full transparency.
+ Do I need an appointment for a repair?
No appointment is required for assessments—walk in to our Piccadilly workshop. For vintage/heirloom pieces or premium Swiss models, booking is recommended so we can allocate a specialist and minimise turnaround.
+ How long does a typical watch repair take?
Same-day: batteries, reseals, strap/bracelet work, pressure tests.
2–5 days: crystals, crowns/pushers, minor movement repairs.
1–3 weeks: full services, vintage restoration, parts-dependent jobs. We confirm an accurate ETA after diagnosis and keep you updated throughout.
