I have inherited a Roy C King watch. It's a gaudy piece made of 18 carat gold with diamonds and sapphires. The watch hands are loose and one end of the strap is broken. I'd like to have the watch restored to working order. Would appreciate a recommendation for a vintage watch restorer. I'm in northwest London. Thank you!      ..read more

Hi all. I'm asking for some help for my mother actually. She has a ladies gold watch that was given to her for her 21st.

Hello all. Recently purchased a BB58 and much to my chagrin I didn’t wind the crown at purchase. I waited a few days before trying it on at home and to my disappointment the crown was stiff as a board. Took it into the AD and they told me it “was normal”. Went to another AD, they told me it wasn’t normal and sent it in for repairs. I just got it back. The winding is less stiff but no way as smooth as my BB41. Does anyone have this problem ..read more
