Do I need to know the reference?
No. A photograph of the front and back is often enough for an initial identification.

A few details are enough for us to assess your enquiry.
Tell us which model you own, what is not working or what you would like to preserve about the watch.
If you do not know the reference, that is no problem. You can add photographs in the enquiry form. We will then discuss the next step and whether an inspection of the watch is appropriate.
Please contact us before sending your watch. This lets us arrange receipt, shipping and any special requests in advance.
Enter your contact details and information about the watch in the form. If you would like us to arrange collection, select the option for collection by insured courier and your preferred collection day.
