We have held back for 4 years, but inflation hits us just as much as it hits you.
The UK CPI has gone up by 25% since we last changed our prices! As we don’t want to be the ones to stoke inflation, we will adjust our prices by 15% at this moment in time, but we will have to see how that pans out for us, as that’s a real decrease of prices by 10% …
The new prices as shown on our price list will apply to all repair and service jobs approved on and after 1/8/2023 ..read more

A mother board meeting reminder is an important part of preparing for your company monthly or perhaps quarterly events. It is important to ensure that all aboard members will be aware of the exact date of the reaching and that they come about on time. The reminder should include important documents such as the course and any attachments that is discussed through the meeting. The reminder should also include a fix on actions items that have been assigned.
A board reaching reminder definitely will alert plank members on the meeting particular date, time, and location. It is also smart to send a ..read more

Dear Readers, we haven’t posted a lot lately, as you can always see what we are working on by going to https://watchguy.co.uk/cgi-bin/library?action=current – that makes it a bit obsolete to write posts about individual watches, as you can follow the repairs as we are carrying them out ..read more

Dear Customers,
Firstly, I hope you are all well, and that you are still able to earn a living in the current circumstances. If you are running into financial trouble and have a watch with us, please don’t worry – we can put that to the side until you feel that you are in safer financial waters.
As for the workshop, all three of us are working, our benches are over 2 metres apart, and we are all healthy at the moment, so work here will continue as usual as far as we can predict the future.
We wish all our customers and readers continued health and well-being.
Christian, Johannes and Ray ..read more

We do see the odd fake here at the workshop, but as we don’t accept them knowingly, it doesn’t happen too often.
This Submariner came in, and on first sight, nothing was wrong with it….I only got suspicious when the movement turned out to be in very bad condition – this watch should be no more than 7 years old!
This is not what a 7 year old movement looks like!
Now we put our deerstalker hats on and got thinking. Why would a watch have an old, beaten up movement in it?
After a bit of head scratching, we decided that the only possible explanation was that the case was fake.
A close look at the ..read more

We’ve had one of these before, and quite some time ago… These are quite rare, and were used in the British nuclear submarine fleet. As you can’t have luminous compound there (it would set off all sorts of radiation alarms), they have no luminous compound, but a while dial with black markings and hands, so that the watch can be read nicely in the low light conditions in a submarine.
The start/stop/reset pusher on this one does nothing, but the movement itself runs well. The case back shows the usual nuclear submarine markings – the scratched out 3306 had a luminous compound dial, so these have ..read more
