FAQ’s About Our Watch Repair Shop & Services

  • Our watch repair costs vary based on the type of service, the extent of the damage, and your watch's brand and model. Simple fixes like battery replacements or link adjustments start at £20, while complex repairs like movement overhauls begin at £200. For a precise estimate, our watchmakers need to inspect your timepiece. Visit our Hatton Garden Centre or conveniently send us your watch by post.

  • Need a quick watch fix? We offer a while-you-wait service for simple repairs like link adjustments, watch battery replacement, and pressure testing. To ensure we have the right parts in stock, please book an appointment and let us know your watch's brand and model beforehand.

    Additionally, as an independent watch repair shop, we're able to provide our customers with some of the fastest turnaround times in the industry, with our complete watch servicing taking just 3-4 weeks.

  • The frequency of watch servicing depends on several factors, including the type of watch, how often you wear it, and the environment in which you wear it.

    For optimal performance, we recommend servicing your mechanical or automatic watch every 2-3 years, which ensures the intricate mechanical parts are cleaned, lubricated, and inspected for wear and tear. While quartz watches require less frequent servicing than their mechanical counterparts, we still recommend a check-up every 2-5 years.

    Learn how to recognise the signs your watch needs servicing and the processes involved.

  • At AMJ, we're committed to preserving the integrity of your timepiece and your investment, which is why we only use genuine parts specific to your watch brand when replacing any components within your timepiece to ensure a perfect fit, optimal performance, and lasting value.

    Imitation parts often compromise on material quality and manufacturing precision, which can result in difficulties during fitting, reduced performance, and even potential damage to your watch's delicate mechanism over time.

  • Water damage can wreak havoc on your watch's delicate internal mechanisms. Be vigilant for telltale signs such as discolouration or rust on the hands and dial, fogging or condensation under the crystal, fluid stains near the case back seal, or a musty odour emanating from the watch. If you notice any of these, prompt action is crucial and will avoid costly repairs.

    Find out more on what causes water damage and preventive measures you can take in our blog post - Water Damage: What to do if your watch gets wet?

  • A watch running fast or slow can be caused by a variety of factors, depending on whether it's a mechanical/automatic watch or a quartz watch:

    Magnetism: Exposure to magnets (common in electronics and everyday objects) can affect the balance wheel, causing the watch to run erratically.  

    Dirty Movement: Dust, dirt, and dried-out lubricants can hinder the movement's delicate components, affecting accuracy.

    Worn or Damaged Parts: Wear and tear on parts like the mainspring, balance staff, or escapement can impact timekeeping.

    Impact or Shock: A sudden jolt can damage the delicate mechanism and affect accuracy.  

    Lack of Servicing: Infrequent servicing can lead to a buildup of issues that affect timekeeping.

    Low Battery: A dying battery can cause a quartz watch to lose or gain time.

    Multiple factors can cause even the most well-maintained watches to deviate from exact timekeeping. Our experienced watchmakers will carefully diagnose the issue and provide a transparent quote for the necessary repairs. Kickstart your watch repair today.

  • Some of the most common reasons our customers bring their watches into our repair shop include:

    Watch Battery Replacement: This is the most common repair for quartz watches, typically needed every 1-3 years.

    Strap/Bracelet Repair or Replacement: Wear and tear on straps and bracelets are expected, leading to replacements or adjustments. At AMJ, we stock a wide range of premium watch straps.

    Crystal Replacement: Scratched, cracked, or shattered crystals are a frequent issue, requiring replacement to protect the watch face. Explore the different glass types and what to do if you've broken your watch's crystal in our blog post - Watchmakers Guide to the Different Watch Glass Types.

    Stem and Crown Repair: The crown (the knob used to set time and date) and its stem can be damaged or break off, requiring repair or replacement.  

    Cleaning and Lubrication: Essential for keeping the movement running smoothly, this is a standard part of routine watch servicing.  

    Mainspring Repair/Replacement: The mainspring, which powers the watch, can break or weaken over time.  

    Balance Wheel and Escapement Issues: Problems with these components can affect accuracy and require delicate adjustments or repairs.

    Water Damage: Even a small amount of moisture can wreak havoc on the delicate gears and components inside your watch. Water damage can lead to rust, corrosion, and malfunction. If you suspect your watch has been exposed to water, don't delay – speak to our watchmakers.

    Magnetisations: Exposure to magnets can disrupt a watch's timekeeping, requiring demagnetisation.  

    Dial Restoration/Hand Replacement: Aging or damage to the dial or hands may necessitate restoration or replacement.
