Our mechanical watch service explained
Here at Repairs by post, our expert watchmakers service almost any brand of automatic, chronograph or divers watch to manufactures standards.
- The strap or bracelet of your watch is detached from its case.
- The case then opened, and the movement separated. The case is then entirely disassembled.
- If we are carrying out a certified manufacture service for luxury brands such as Rolex and Omega the case and braclet will be re-finished and polished to remove scratches and blemishes. This is carried out by a professional expert polisher.
- The inner components are first ultrasonically cleaned then lubricated to minimise friction and wear.
- The balance wheel is expertly tested to ensure it’s perfectly precise.
- The strap undergoes specialist watch cleaning and examination for wear and tear.
- Any damaged parts are either refurbished or replaced with genuine or aftermarket equivalent components.
- The mechanism is then assembled and reattached to your watch’s strap with every seal replaced.
- Your timepiece is then finally tested one last time to ensure it’s keeping time accurately and to ensure it’s still watertight.
Quick, affordable watch repairs from the comfort of your home, office, or on-the-go.

From initial email contact through to completion I found their service to be nothing short of first class and the cost of repair was a pleasant surprise. I would use the company again and would wholeheartedly recommend them to others.
Spitfire Furniture
What can I say. These guys do exactly what it says on the tin! The entire process is so simple, it's hard to believe. Communication is excellent and the quality of packaging was very impressive.
Jack Corden
Excellent service. Repaired a watch of sentimental value to me that others had told me couldn't be repaired. Quicker and cheaper than I expected too. Will go to them anytime I have an issue with my watch.

I highly recommend this company for watch repairs. I sent three watches to them and the service, communication and speed was brilliant. I am sending them today a further four watches to repair. At last I have found a great online repair company.

After having had my watch refused for repair by a few jewellers, I found Repairs By Post on the internet. This is one of my best searches. I explained what I wanted, got a reply quickly, sent the watch, got a quote and a few weeks later, I got my watch back.

My Rolex was returned looking and performing like new after the seals on the watch had gone and water got inside the case. All this for a fraction of the price of having to buy a replacement.
Kyle Norris
Everything about this company is professional and they are experts in all watch repairs. Initial emails were clear and all instructions were easy to follow. I am planning on sending another watch to be repaired in the New Year.
Imogen Nairn
A really excellent service that I wholly recommend. All my watches will be going here from now on.
