Central London AD recommendations for Service/Adjustment

[Pete00]

Q for all you Londoners: Do you have any central London ADs that you would recommend / trust to work on your watches? I have a new WG daytona, where I'm going to be changing the leather strap (see recent post if interested). By default, I wouldn't trust your average jeweler. I mean do they always take the time to tape it up when working in that back room? haha... The official Rolex Service Center in London on the other hand politely declined to do the swap with an aftermarket strap.

So I'm looking for some good recommendations! Thanks

Hi

Check out "Swiss Made" www dot swissmade dot co dot uk. A friend of mine runs the place, so I may be biased, but I have passed a few Rolexes his way for servicing, from work colleagues and a friend, and all have been very happy customers. Prices are usually excellent. They have an account with Rolex so use all Rolex parts etc.

[I think perhaps their web site could do with updating, but give them a call]

I have a watchmaker friend who has a jewellery shop in Stanmore, N London.

His work is excellent and prices fair. He has kept my Rolexes in tip top form for years.

PM me if you want his number.

Cheers.

I don't think you will find any watchmakers who will tape up your watch just to change a strap..

I agree. No one is going to waste their time taping it up for a strap change.

Cannot see why you cannot do it yourself just tape it up and take your time to release the lug pins its not rocket science.
