We stopped doing it over 10 years ago. This is why!
For watches over 15 years old, the lubricants will have dried out.
This forces the movement into a high-power mode, the power used jumps from 0.7 Micro Amps to over 8 Micro Amps, consuming 12x more energy and causing internal damage through wear.
A capacitor replacement alone is a temporary fix on a failing movement.
We insist on a full service to ensure your watch's longevity.
We do not supply the new Capacitor/ Battery as it is Lithium and ”Royal Mail” won't accept them, as they can explode if shorted out.
*Note: For a capacitor-only replacement without a guarantee, you can find services on eBay for around £50.*
