In Their Own Words

Phitak Teerawat

"I brought in my father's old Seiko that had not run in fifteen years. The assessment was thorough and the written plan explained exactly what they intended to do and why. The work took about three weeks, and the watch now runs beautifully. What I appreciated most was that they kept the original dial — I had been worried that might not be possible."

"I had the bracelet and case attended to on my everyday watch. It was running fine but the strap was past its best and the case had some marks from years of wear. The whole thing was agreed before they started — I chose how much case tidying I wanted — and the result felt exactly right. Not like new, just like itself, but cared for."

"The maintenance service was straightforward and well handled. My watch had been gaining about three minutes a day — after the service it is within a few seconds. The turnaround was close to two weeks, which I was told at the start. I would have liked a little more detail in the written report, but the work itself was solid."

"I drove from Udon Thani specifically because there was nothing like this closer to home. My grandmother's watch needed extensive work and I wanted it done by someone who understood what they were handling. The assessment was careful, the plan was clear, and the restoration was everything I had hoped. It will be passed down again now."

"Very impressed by the level of care taken. I had expected a quick service but what I got was a thorough explanation of the movement's condition, what had degraded, and what was proposed. No pressure to add extra work. The timing machine printout they shared before and after was something I had never seen offered before — a nice touch."

"I took in a mid-century ladies' watch for the bracelet service. The old strap was replaced with something very fitting, and the case was tidied to the degree I asked. Wanchai was helpful explaining the options. The only small thing is that I had to wait a couple of extra days beyond the original estimate — though I was called ahead of time, which I appreciated."

Three Client Stories

Case Study — Heritage Restoration

A 1968 Omega Seamaster, Stopped for Twelve Years

The Situation

The watch had belonged to a client's grandfather and had not run since the early 2010s. Several attempts at basic service elsewhere had failed to restore reliable running. The original dial — important to the family — showed signs of age that previous repairers had suggested replacing.

What We Did

Full strip-down revealed a cracked mainspring and worn keyless works. A replacement mainspring was sourced; worn keyless parts were fabricated on-site. The dial was stabilised and cleaned conservatively rather than replaced. The case was polished only on surfaces where the client agreed.

The Outcome

The watch now runs within 8 seconds per day across five positions. The original dial was preserved intact. The client collected it after four weeks and described it as exceeding what they had hoped for. The piece will be worn daily.

"I honestly did not expect to get the original dial back in the condition it is now. That mattered enormously to us."

Case Study — Maintenance Service

An Everyday Wearer, Nine Years Past Its Service Interval

The Situation

A client's workhorse automatic — worn six days a week — had not been serviced since purchase. It was running approximately three minutes fast per day and the crown had begun to feel stiff. The client was unsure whether the problem was serious.

What We Did

Assessment confirmed dried lubricants and a worn winding crown gasket. Full movement service was carried out — disassembly, ultrasonic cleaning, fresh lubrication to grade, and reassembly. The crown and stem were replaced. A timing measurement was taken before and after.

The Outcome

Post-service timing showed +4 seconds per day in the flat position. The client collected ten days after drop-off. The condition report noted that no further concerns were found, and the watch was given a clean bill of health for the next five to seven years of regular wear.

"They showed me the timing readout. I didn't know that kind of measurement was even possible outside a factory."
