Watch service comparison guide

Prepare the same information

Record the brand, model or reference, movement type, approximate purchase year, symptoms and last service. For water ingress, stopping or exterior damage, attach clear photos so each service point can assess the same information.

Ask for an itemised quote

Ask whether inspection is charged or credited, how long the quote is valid, whether parts are original or aftermarket, whether polishing is extra, the expected turnaround, service warranty and collection arrangements if you decline. A boutique intake, a retail battery service and a full movement service are different services.

Confirm directly

This site does not establish live capacity, final quotes or any authorisation beyond what the source says. Confirm any brand, model or work not listed; a collection point is not automatically a workshop.
