Hello. Have anybody used this firm for servicing a wristwatch, or heard any report about them?
kindest regards

it's usually best to send back to the manufacturer service centre

some poor reviews of the firm suggest they aren't 100%

YMMV

I have no knowledge of the linked company.
It will depend on the watch and value assumed by manufacturer servicing (if still available)but you’ll need to go a long way to find a better service than Christian and team at https://watchguy.co.uk/ 4.4 AdBlu Tractor

Thanks m@. The problem is the self winding has stopped. I've been in touch with the shop I bought it from, & they have a resident rolex engineer. They have offered to remove the back whilst I wait, & if it's a simple fix they'll do it whilst I wait, if not then I'll seek an alternative option. I've made a note of watchguy's address. many thanks paul

Do you play golf? My mate knackered his self winding Rolex via the shock from big drives. Rolex told him to stop wearing it for golf. FFRR SDV8 Autobiography

Thanks to everyone for their advice. I've kept the address for watchguy. I don't play golf James.

Never had a problem routinely shooting a shotgun with a Rolex or a Tudor on the wrist. That includes 3"1/2 shells of 60+ gram loads through pump action shotguns.

I’ve worn both my Speedmaster and my Seamaster (not at the same time mind…) whilst shooting and never had a problem. Both just get routine servicing with no issues reported.
