Description

I have included a picture of the watch taken shortly before I took it to the shop, and a picture of the watch the day It was collected. Don’t take the risk with this place if you care about your watch as much as I did! Lewis I highly recommend this teeny tiny shop in Piccadilly Circus station. These guys really know what they are doing!! I bought a mechanical watch recently and it had issues with the dates. The day I went to them they tried to look at it and fix on the spot but they said it would take longer and asked me to leave the watch with them.

This is why it makes them different from other shops. I finally collected my watch yesterday and was so happy. Not just because the problem with the date was fixed but also the customer service they provided was impecable. Truly terrible service and honestly wouldn’t recommend anybody to do business with unless you’re getting your strap resized. I think anybody would expect full knowledge on the complete procedures, and this would always include visual changes. Then, it is important that you oil the springs by using silicone-based grease or heavy grade engine oil. Using a different paintbrush, distribute a small amount over the top of the springs to lubricate them and using a small oiler that closely resembles a needle, adds one small drop to each of the bearings and pivots located around the inner mechanism. Avoid oiling the clogs. I left it with Joel at the shop in December and he assured me that they will fix it. It took slightly longer than expected for them to fix the watch during Christmas Holidays and parts but Jonathan was always available to respond to my queries even when the shop was closed and kept me informed during this period and was on hand to answer any queries - Jonathan is very passionate about watches as well. Once you’ve soaked the movement top in soapy water then do you can to carefully brush off any dirt with a clean paint brush or ideally jet spray of some sort. You want to avoid putting anything rigid inside the movement as you will snag or force something and its game over. Once you’ve done what cleaning you can then you need to rinse the area that been submerged in boiled kettle water (careful not to get any in the barrells). Kettle water has the minerals such as calcium carbonate partially removed so any residue left by the drying water will be kept to a minimum.
