Watch Servicing

Watch Servicing

How We Service
We will let you know the factory tolerances of the movement – many wristwatches can be improved upon factory tolerances once the work is complete.
For some very worn watches restoring to factory tolerances may not be possible. We will always let you know our accuracy expectations before commencing work.
The servicing of manual watches starts at £250 excluding replacement parts.
Quartz repairs start from £100 excluding replacement parts and return postage.
Time to completion is currently 4-6 weeks. The time to completion is influenced by the shipping times of parts. However, an express service is also available on request
Servicing matters more in the long term as technology improves.
Older watch oils used substantially thicken over time often stopping a watch. Modern watch oils provide significantly better performance and protection but are less likely to thicken and stop a watch.
If a watch is not serviced regularly (roughly 3-5 years) significant wear can occur, the watch is still running often keeping good time. Oil is mixed with dirt and creates a grinding paste rapidly wearing the parts.
Over the long run it's substantially cheaper to maintain a working watch rather than repairing it when it breaks – part prices for vintage watch parts are on the rise.
You will always know the exact price before work is started.

What Rixson Customers Say:
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.
