·My old Seamaster 166-0624 is back home after its service.
It was in a bit of a state when I acquired it last month.
I decided to entrust it to https://watchguy.co.uk/ after hearing of their excellent service.
The watch was delivered to them on 01/09, work started on 18/09, and was completed same day.
Other than a strip, clean, and lubrication, a new mainspring, gasket, and case ring were fitted.
I received daily updates as my watch moved up the queue, and plenty of pictures once the work started. Anyone interested is welcome to have a look here: https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/library?action=show_photos&wat_id=6827&tk_id=613599834
The watch was returned very well protected for its journey.
As should always be the case, the old replaced parts were returned with the watch.
I plan to give this one a lot of wrist time. It had not had an easy life before I got it, so it is no drawer queen.
No surprise, seeing the Timegrapher picture after service, it is keeping excellent time, and, of course, ticking like a Swiss watch.
Total cost of the service was £270.
I would like to fit a BOR bracelet on it. Does anyone know of a decent, generic, 19mm BOR bracelet, in a brushed finish? I dislike the style with the flat beads, and would prefer curved end links, but that may be difficult with this case.
