All prices exclude spare parts. Most standard spare part is a new mainspring £14-50 (Expensive brands usually have more expensive parts).
Service consists of taking the watch completely apart, inspection of components, cleaning them, putting the movement back together and lubricating it. Minor repairs and crystal change is included in the price. Larger repairs will be charged by time and material.
Waterproof testing is included dry (e.g. in a vacuum) Please be aware that most vintage watches aren’t waterproof, and can’t be made properly waterproof. This has to do with corrosion of the case and pendant tube, and the rubber gaskets dissolving / disintegrating. These can’t always be replaced (e.g. crown gaskets) or general case design. This test is more an indication of there is any water resistance and I provide no warranty for water resistance.
Inspection fee is only charged if a job is cancelled after initial inspection.

* Non Shock protected movements usually takes longer to dismantle and put back together.
* Monocoque cases make our work a lot harder, as there is no movement access after casing, so a final adjustment after testing often involves taking the watch apart again. Monocoques add on average over an hour to the time we spend on a service, so we do have to charge for that.
