    My Seiko Kinetic was in a drawer for 10 years. It was given a new capacitor, crystal and a polish. I was told they would fit a clasp extender because the strap was short and I had lost links. It arrived back, postage free, well packaged by 48 hr tracking, Royal Mail. A fantastic job. My watch looked like a new watch, the polishing was superb. A fantastic job. Such value for money, all that work done for the price they charged. Thank you. My Seiko can join my watch collection in pride of place!

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Really pleased with the new crystal replacement. My local jeweller couldn't do the repair and I was resigned to getting a new watch until I found TWB. Highly recommended 5 stars.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    The Watch Bench replaced the movement and hands on my damaged Rotary Watch which I thought was beyond economical repair. They offered advice; and kept me fully informed regarding the repair which was carried out quickly and at an extremely reasonable cost. I cannot recommend them highly enough; first class service from my first enquiry to receiving my fully repaired Watch.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Fabulous item. I’m over the moon. Great correspondence. Defo do business with this seller again. The item is mint, as described. Many thanks, David. If you have any similar Breitling watches, please message me. I’m always on the lookout for quality timepieces.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Sent my much loved, if a little neglected watch, after the capacitor began to expire. I was kept informed throughout the process, which gave me confidence that I had chosen the right person to look after the repair and other work. Have received the watch today and it looks and works as good as the day I saw it at the jewellers. Thank you so much for giving my watch a much needed refresh.

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Absolutely fantastic service, can’t thank you enough! Had a new capacitor and polish done and the result is superb. Thank you for keeping me updated throughout. If I could rate higher than five stars I definitely would!

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    My watch was a graduation present from my parents 20yrs ago, so although not valuable, had great sentimental value to me. It had stopped working about 5 years ago and I’d struggled to find places who could repair it. The Watch Bench have replaced the capacitor, replaced the scratched glass and polished and honestly, it is like new. Quick turn around and good comms. Highly recommend.
