Great service at a very reasonable price
I have had my self winding Seiko watch for 45 years, and a month ago, it started to loose its ability to keep going overnight. I took it to Roland at Vintage Time Repairs who quoted me £125 as I requested it to be serviced, together with £25 if the main spring needed to be replaced (he had not examined it at this time).
Yesterday, I received a call from him advising that the cost would be £30 and as such I thought he had examined the watch and it was not repairable. When I picked it up, he advised me that as it was a self winding watch, it was driven by the quartz crystal, not a mainspring, and the problem was a small capacitor which the crystal fed into. I'm highly delighted with my repaired watch, thank you, Roland.
In addition, he changed 3 batteries in my wife's watches at an extremely competitive price, whilst we waited.
For watch repairs, I cannot recommend Roland/Vintage Time Repairs enough.
