What Our Clients Say about Us
-

“So pleased with the service I received after visiting 3 different watch repairers to have a bespoke strap fitted to my collectable watch. All said it couldn’t be done. AMJ were friendly, helpful and quick. They fitted the strap within 5 minutes and charged a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.”

"Top marks for AMJ watch repair for quality of work, customer service, and old-school decency! Not only did they do a stellar job (three different watches), but they were also very kind and generous when, due to my miscommunication, revisions were needed the following day. Highly recommended!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Joséphine Dunn | Google Business Profile

"Incredible watch repair shop, very friendly and knowledgeable. My watch would not calibrate, and I believed it was a battery issue. The team and AMJ reviewed it and emailed me to say it’s ready to collect. Honest and reliable, and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough."

Your AP Repair Questions Answered
Find clarity on our Rolex-specific repair standards, service timelines, and the precise measures we take to preserve your Oyster case and Perpetual movement throughout its journey.
-
Our Rolex overhaul begins with a complete disassembly of the movement, down to the last of its 220+ individual components. Each part undergoes a rigorous ultrasonic cleaning cycle to remove aged lubricants and microscopic debris.
-
We guarantee your Royal Oak Offshore’s water resistance through a rigorous protocol exceeding ISO 22810 and ISO 6425 standards. Using Swiss-standard vacuum and pressure equipment, we verify the integrity of the bezel gaskets, O-ring seals, and chronograph pushers to original factory depth ratings (100m–300m).
Deep Dive: Understanding Watch Water Resistance & How We Test It
-
A full mechanical service for an Audemars Piguet at our Hatton Garden workshop typically takes 4–6 weeks. This is significantly faster than many authorised service centres, which currently average 12–24 weeks. Lead times vary depending on the complexity of the calibre—such as Perpetual Calendars or Royal Oak Chronographs—and the specific availability of genuine Swiss components.
-
Yes. We use genuine Audemars Piguet (AP) components for all mechanical repairs to safeguard your timepiece’s valuation, warranty, and horological integrity. Using authentic parts ensures that your Royal Oak or Code 11.59 movement—such as the Calibre 3120 or 4302—operates to original Le Brassus specifications.
For full transparency, we return all replaced or worn components to you in a sealed bag. This provides documented proof of the specific internal work performed, which is essential for maintaining your watch's resale value and provenance.
-
We specialise in vintage AP restoration, with a focus on heritage Royal Oak 5402, Star Wheel, and ultra-thin dress watches. Leveraging our deep-rooted network within Hatton Garden, London’s historic jewellery district, we source "period-correct" components, including:
Original tritium and service dials.
Vintage calibre wheels and bridges.
Authentic hands and "A-Series" specific hardware.
Our goal is to ensure your heritage timepiece remains investment-grade and mechanically sound without compromising its historical accuracy.
-
Preserving the razor-sharp, geometric contours of the Royal Oak octagonal bezel is our speciality. Unlike traditional buffing, which causes a "rounded" or "softened" look, we utilise precision lapping machines and Swiss laser welding.
This advanced technique allows us to:
Laser Weld: Fill deep gouges with matching 18k gold, titanium, or 904L steel.
Lapping: Re-cut the vertical brushed finish and mirror-polished bevels to factory-perfect angles.
Edge Retention: Ensure the 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock lines remain crisp and structurally identical to a new timepiece.
-
Every Audemars Piguet service and mechanical repair performed at our London workshop is backed by a comprehensive 12-month warranty. This guarantee covers all internal workmanship, timing regulation (accuracy), and water-resistance seals (where a full service is performed).
As an independent specialist in Hatton Garden, we provide a physical warranty card and a Pressure Test Certificate with every overhaul, giving you total peace of mind and documented protection for your horological investment.
