"Brought in my late father's Seiko that hadn't run in years. They assessed it thoroughly and gave me a written report before asking if I wanted to proceed. The movement was cleaned and lubricated, and the watch now keeps good time. They were careful to leave the dial and case exactly as they were."

"I had a Tissot that was losing about two minutes a day. The quartz movement replacement was straightforward and the turnaround was four days. They called me when it was ready and took the time to show me what had been replaced. Good honest service."

"The water resealing was done properly — they tested it before and after, explained what seals had been replaced, and gave me a clear picture of the watch's water resistance rating going forward. Nothing rushed. The watch went back in the water the following weekend without any issue."

"I was genuinely uncertain whether my grandmother's watch was worth repairing. The team at Cogsworth & Dial gave me a written assessment first and let me decide from there. I appreciated that they didn't pressure me either way. The report was detailed and useful even as a standalone document."

"Quick, clear, and no fuss. Brought in a Casio that had stopped. Movement was replaced in three days. The price matched exactly what they quoted at the start. I've since recommended them to a colleague who had a similar situation."

"I had a diving watch that I wasn't sure was still sealed properly after a few years of use. They did the pressure test and found one of the crown seals had degraded. Replaced it along with the caseback O-ring, retested, and it passed. Good to know it was done properly with actual testing equipment."

A Few Case Notes

The Situation

A 1974 Swiss mechanical watch, inherited from a grandfather, had been sitting in a drawer for approximately twelve years. The crown was stiff and the movement was completely stopped.

What We Did

Assessed the movement first and provided a written report. With approval, we cleaned and lubricated the movement fully, replaced the mainspring, and freed the crown mechanism. Dial and hands were left untouched.

The Outcome

The watch now runs within acceptable tolerance for its age. The client was pleased that the original patina was preserved. The piece is being worn regularly again. Total service time: 14 working days.

The Situation

A sports watch rated to 200 metres was worn while swimming without issue for two years, then the client noticed fogging under the crystal. Suspected the caseback seal had degraded.

What We Did

Opened the case in a controlled environment, dried the interior, replaced all seals and gaskets. Pressure tested twice. The caseback O-ring had been the primary failure point.

The Outcome

Watch passed both pressure tests at its rated depth. Fogging resolved fully. Returned to client in 3 working days. Client confirmed no issues at six weeks post-service.
