Service information
We give priority to vintage OMEGA and Rolex service. Our standard service time is 10 days, we will inform you after quoting about parts availability and service time. Minimum 2 months on complications like vintage minute repeaters and complicated chronographs. We do request a 50% deposit on proceeding on some types of restoration work. We are still specialising in vintage OMEGA and all Rolex.
Vintage Breitling, Cartier, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin service depending on age and model, please contact us to check if we can help as we prioritise Omega and Rolex restoration. We have a large stock of parts for these models, and are able to restore some early models other workshops are unable to. Our vintage watch repair workshop contains a combination of cutting-edge and traditional watchmaking equipment. We restore wristwatches to exacting standards. We do not service basic quartz or fashion watches as this is not our area of watch repair. Where possible, R. McMahon Watchmakers source original parts for the sympathetic and authentic restoration of valuable time pieces but are also able to custom-make components that have long since lapsed in production or become extinct on the market. For example, some early Rolex and Cartier parts are no longer available, as a qualified and trusted restorer will manufacture parts in my workshop here as I was trusted to do by the official service centres while a senior, certified restoration expert for these companies in London.
Expert restoration of Rolex Submariner, Rolex Sea Dweller, OMEGA Speedmaster Professional and OMEGA Seamaster in our workshop regularly.
We provide 12 month warrantee on Omega and Rolex service repairs. All other brands and types of watches 12 months warrantee is given unless stated otherwise when quoting on the watch repair.
