I was a little concerned about sending an expensive watch to an internet based company. I did a bit of research, checked their workshop existed on Google maps and took the plunge. It was a good decision.
Dawn Briggs
Fabulous! my 38 year old Rolex looks like new and keeps perfect time. ( Faulty crown replaced, extra links added, full service ) Would definitely recommend this company, first class work, excellent communications and just lovely team to deal with.
David Graham
Excellent service and time turn around. I especially appreciated the regular email updates. I’d highly recommend and use again. Thanks for restoring my Omega watch Repairs By Post.
Tim Williams
I sent my beloved old Rolex Airking to Repairs by Post to have the crown replaced following an unfortunate toddler incident. The watch has great sentimental value so I was a little hesitant sending it away. But a good friend recommended them after they repaired his Cartier. Very please I took his advice, they did a great job. Far quicker than Watches of Switzerland quoted and for a fraction of the cost. Very happy with the result. Would happily recommend them and will definitely use again.
Peter H.
After wearing it daily for 20 years my Rolex was looking very tired. I was initially concerned about sending an expensive watch to an unknown company in the post but I was reassured by the positive reviews. Jonathan quoted a fair price to refurbish and service it and I have to admit that I'm stunned, it looks like new. I'll be happy to use Repairs by Post again.

- 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.

Is my ROLEX watch water resistant?

Each ROLEX watch is water-resistant as standard. This is assured by a series of seals in the watch. As the watch is worn daily, these seals come under natural stress, which may affect the watches ability to withstand water. ROLEX recommends that your watch is checked once a year by a watch repair specialist who will check for water-resistance and remedy any failing seals.
Quick, affordable watch repairs from the comfort of your home, office, or on-the-go.
