Watch movement service:
*Only able to support with ETA and Rolex watch variations.
A thing to keep in mind is that a replica watch takes the same amount of time and effort (sometimes more) as working on a genuine one, hence the price of any work done will never be directly proportional with the value of the watch.
As I believe this is an insightful journey into knowing your watch I tend to send photo updates along the way, therefore a full service includes:
(Dial, hands, date-wheel upgrades will be included in the price of the service. Replacement parts are not included in the price of the service)
Upgrades and ad-hock repairs:
The below is not an extensive list so please feel free to get in touch with any repair/upgrade queries (please note that I don’t source parts)
While I mainly focus on movement services, I am happy to support based on my experience with a number of custom vintage builds: i.e 5513, 1675, 1680, 9411, DJ. : Price to be discussed (this includes case softening, bezel insert shaving, movement/dial/hands adjustments. I don’t source parts but can advise to a certain extent). Please note that this is a longer journey due to more complications arising when working with custom parts.
