What happens during a Cartier full service?
Cartier expert watchmakers service Cartier quartz and mechanical watches to manufactures standards.
- The strap or bracelet of your watch is detached from its case.
- The case then opened, and the movement separated. The case is then entirely disassembled.
- If we are carrying out a certified manufacture service for luxury brands such as Rolex and Omega the case and bracelet will be re-finished and polished to remove scratches and blemishes. This is carried out by a professional expert polisher.
- The inner components are first ultrasonically cleaned then lubricated to minimise friction and wear.
- The balance wheel is expertly tested to ensure it’s perfectly precise.
- The strap undergoes specialist watch cleaning and examination for wear and tear.
- Any damaged parts are either refurbished or replaced with genuine or aftermarket equivalent components.
- The mechanism is then assembled and reattached to your watch’s strap with every seal replaced.
- Your timepiece is then finally tested one last time to ensure it’s keeping time accurately and to ensure it’s still watertight.
All work is covered by a minimum 12 month or 24 month guarantee. Written details available upon request.

Repairs By Post have just completed a full strip down, clean and mechanical service on a 1920's Rolex marked movement pocket watch for me. This is the fourth vintage/antique pocket watch that they have serviced for me and each time the service and work, including glass replacement etc, has been excellent. Some of the pocket watches in my collection are hard to come by antiques, but I would trust them to Jonathan and Repairs By Post each and every time. You can find cheaper, but I haven't better.
David Mintz
I have used repairs by post on two previous occasions and we were delighted with the service received. Our items came back polished and clean and it has been the only repair treatment that has lasted and stood the test of time. Would recommend and would use again. I shall shortly be sending my watch in for servicing and repair.
