We pressure test every time we have a need to open the watch, or when we believe the seal may have been compromised. Pressure testing is a standard procedure we undertake with virtually all servicing.

Being a Swiss-accredited service centre means we will work closely to factory-recommended standards.

Our pressure testing service comes with a 12 month warranty that the watch won’t leak.

Without actually examining the watch, it is impossible to provide an accurate quotation.

However, when we do, we provide you with:

  • An itemised list of the parts that will be replaced
  • The servicing tasks that will be completed
  • A list of options of additional aesthetic repairs and replacements e.g. polish the case, replace the band etc.

Quotations are valid for 30 days.
