Watch full service in Manchester — FAQ
How long does a watch Full Service take?
A Full Service is not done the same day: the watch stays with the workshop while the movement is dismantled, cleaned, lubricated and regulated. The time depends on the movement and whether parts need ordering.
What affects the cost of a Full Service?
The complexity of the movement matters most, so chronographs and other complications cost more than a simple automatic. Replacement parts, case refinishing and water-resistance testing can add to the quote.
How often does a mechanical watch need a Full Service?
Many brands recommend a Full Service every few years, but the right interval depends on the watch and how it is worn. Losing accuracy, a shorter power reserve or a rough winding feel are signs it is due.
Should I use an independent watchmaker for a Full Service?
An experienced independent watchmaker can service most mechanical watches. For complicated, vintage or high-end movements, choose one who regularly works on that kind of calibre.
