Recommended independent service centres in London (Or Kingston Upon Thames area)?
Hi all,
My OP is about 5 years old (bought new) and has been worn almost daily since purchase- unless I am in the house all day or have a special occasion to wear one of the fancier ones. I am feeling it is running a bit fast and could do with some love. I wanted to know if anyone can recommend a good independent service centre in Central London? Also how much they charge? Or if I am lucky near Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey. As I have heard they can be cheaper than the official store. On a side note has any one done the official route recently - if so how much did it cost?

Kingston is my old hometown!! I know there is a Rolex ad in the Bentall centre, but they will just send it off to the uk service centre.
There is a shop in Surbiton called Guess & co. They serviced my 50's Tudor (movement and clean up £150) and valued my 60's Rolex op. Here's there address and number. 24 Victoria Road Surbiton Greater London KT6 4LD TEL: 020 8399 5400 Sending your op to Rolex would probably be cheaper than having a sub/gmt/Daytona serviced as there are no complications/depth tests. |

Russell Talerman on Maddox st. Excellent service and he's an authorised Rolex watchmaker with a Rolex parts account. He also does laser repairs to dings and deep scratches so there's no danger of over polishing. Can't recommend him highly enough.

Used Rolex St James in the summer. £650 for a tt Datejust and £350 for my Big Block inc new crystal. Service impeccable.
