Let customers speak for us
from 11 reviewsJoe fixed my Omega Seamaster that had not been working for years .
It’s now keeping perfect time .
The postal send and return service was completely hassle free. Also Joe’s customer service was excellent. Phone conversation before and after the job .
Rixon Repairs worked magic - took a very precious family piece of mine that no one else could help with and restored it to life. Outstanding customer service and craftsmanship - great value too. They have an encyclopaedic knowledge! I will happily use them again.
I used Rixson to do a full restoration and service of my Universal Geneve wristwatch. This was a timepiece that had sentimental value, but after speaking to Joe from Rixson I knew it was in safe hands... And I have to say the end result was exceptional - I regularly receive compliments and it keeps time beautifully.
Would highly recommend Rixson for vintage watch owners.
Quick postage and professional service. They gave a really good service and sent me update photos of my watch as the work was being completed.
Satisfied with this service and will be using them again
Joe was a top bloke and fixed my Rolex Daytona. Will 100% use Joe at Rixson repairs again to service my other watches.
Very fast and professional service.
I couldn’t be more impressed with Rixson Repairs. From the moment I reached out to enquire about fixing my watch, the communication was clear, professional, and genuinely warm. They diagnosed the issue quickly, provided a transparent quote, and handled my watch with such care it felt like I was leaving it with a trusted friend.
Rixson Repairs found a really rare part for my vintage Omega and I got my watch bac in no time. The postal service was fast and convenient. 10/10
Very happy with this service, fast turnaround, great price and good communication. Highly recommended!
Wonderful to see watch restored and back in action. Thanks for your careful attention.
Top service, quick and friendly. Repaired my Seamaster which was rejected by Omega.
