Great service, great communication. I needed my watch repaired before a particular date and they went above and beyond to help get it done.

Late grandpa's 1974 Rolex 1803 Presidential Day-Date was completely unwearable. Severe bracelet stretch, broken clasp, scratched crystal, and a heavily dented case.
After doing some research, all roads led to Classic Watch Repair in Hong Kong. I had a video call with partner Barry Cheung in Q1 2026, who was clearly the real-deal, showing me around his shop and fielding questions. Taking a massive leap of faith, I shipped the family heirloom overseas. Barry managed expectations perfectly, noting that a full restoration of this scale could take up to 6 months.
Just 4 months later (Q2 2026), the watch was ready.
The results are SPECTACULAR. The bracelet is completely stiff again, the case has zero imperfections, and the watch is working flawlessly. The service throughout the entire process was incredible. I am so grateful for their craftsmanship and hope to meet Barry and the team in person one day to say thank you face-to-face. A 52 year old watch is good as new again. Unreal!

Rolex 16800 restoration

Barry and the team restored my Rolex 16800 submariner to an amazing standard. This was a complete overhaul with a movement service, case reprofiling and bracelet restoration. Communication throughout the process was excellent, with constant updates and contact when choices needed to be made. CWR had previously completed a bracelet restoration on my 1610 explorer, which blew me away. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Last Resort for Watchband Fix

Tried all over Australia but no one would fix my Rolex watchband which was 44 years old and had had a hard life. Came across Classic Watch Repair in Hong Kong and gave it a go as band was by then unwearable. Some trepidation with postage but insured the watchband for realistic amount and sent it off. Band was returned in excellent condition for what I considered a moderate fee. Would recomend their service to anyone.

Best watch repair shop for valuable watches

I have been sending my vintages watches to Classic Watch Repair ever since I started building my collection (2021); and after all the repair shops I dealt with all over the world (US, UK, Germany), I can confidently say they offer the best watch repair services in the world. Highly recommend to those looking to have their valuable watches efficiently repaired.
