Omega Seamaster Quartz

I’ve just had my 2011 Omega Seamaster Quartz returned to me from having had a maintenance service carried out. A pleasurable experience from the beginning when I dropped the watch off to receiving it back. I cannot fault the customer service I received from Wendy Brooker and the work carried out by the service team. The replaced parts ( all included in the £150 price ) were returned to me with a full inventory of the work carried out and certificates of waterproofing and how the watch keeps time. I would not hesitate in recommending Brufords and will definitely have them service my mechanical watches..

If I could rate an 6 I would. Born in 1970 I remember service like you get in Brufords fondly. Floor walker, smartly presented staff (with smiles all round and friendly attitudes), clean and pleasant surroundings and, whilst there is a LOT of money on display, absolutely no ostentation. You honestly lead the way on customer service and I will sing your praises to anyone who will listen. Thank you..
