Repair Service

I used the repair service for my dads very sentimental Seiko watch, he was distraught having dropped it and cracked the glass( it also needed servicing and a clean !)
Fantastic service, upfront with the cost and no surprises.
Kept fully informed of time frame and the watch arrived earlier than anticipated.My dad was delighted with the service provided.
I would highly recommend using this company, I am pleased to say that all our expectations where met.

Diamond service from Seiko UK

I submitted three watches to Seiko UK recently. Although all the watches are very dear to me, one was a forty-four-year-old digital timepiece that had seen service during most of that period. Despite spare parts being unavailable, due to vintage, the craftsmen managed to restore my trusty servant to working condition. Similarly, my second favourite, 'only' a three-decade veteran, was treated to an overhaul and is now as good as new. The third is my son's and will certainly delight him when he is surprised by it.
My thanks go to David Edwards, Beth Sedgewick, Robin Knowles, Hazel and the team.
This truly was a wonderful standard of service.

Many thanks and Kind regards,

Christopher

My watch strap had become worn

My watch strap had become worn. I tried everywhere to purchase a replacement. Eventually I contacted Lorus.,They responded by saying that my watch wasn’t being sold anymore therefore they didn’t have a replacement watch strap. I then received an email saying they had found an old display watch and that they were sending me the strap free of charge. How refreshing bro receive such service . Thank you

Professional and efficient service to divers watch…

I have had the most professional and efficient service from Seiko UK who replaced the movement in my Seiko Automatic 200m Divers Watch. The watch was re-sealed and pressure tested and is now ready for another 20 years of use. Many thanks to Hazel Welch and the engineers, who have given this valuable heirloom watch a new lease of life.

Excellent service from Seiko UK

Excellent service from Seiko UK. Hazel was very helpful and responded quickly to my enquiries. My Grand Seiko watches were serviced and returned to me much faster than I had expected. It's reassuring to know that whenever I buy a Seiko or Grand Seiko watch I can expect the highest standards of after-care customer service.

Very slow and obscure service

I had a bad experience with Seiko. A few years ago I bought a watch but after a while I bumped it. Concerned I sent it to be repaired. It took two months and a half to get my watch back, although in the invoice said to wait ten days. Seiko made amends with me offering a discount for the repair, but not after I called them warning that I would take legal action in the matter.

After my Dad passed

After my Dad passed, I inherited his Seiko watch. It was scratched and needed some tlc. Seiko upgraded the glass and case and it now looks brand new. I will enjoy the watch as a fabulous reminder of my Dad. I couldn't be happier with the service from Seiko at a pretty distressing time. Thank you so much!
