"The conventional way of getting your watch fixed or servicedand one we would heartily recommendis to go to straight to the source, i.e. the brand that made it. It's the safest path for owners of expensive premium brands and nearly new watches, and it preserves value. That avenue has its downsides, not least a potentially protracted and costly holiday for your precious ticker in Switzerland."
"The refurbishment service launched in late 2024 and charges from a set menu of prices depending on the watch and what needs to be done. Fill out an online questionnaire, and you'll get a quote. If you accept it, the company sends a prepaid shipping package and then whisks it back off fully insured to Stoll and Company, an independent service center in Dayton, Ohio, with 50 years plus of watch fixing behind it, in which time it estimates it has serviced 3.5 million watches."
WatchCheck launched in late 2024 as a refurbishment service offering set-menu pricing for watch repairs and servicing. Customers complete an online questionnaire to receive a quote, accept a price, and receive a prepaid, insured shipping package. Watches are sent to Stoll & Company in Dayton, Ohio, an independent service center with over 50 years' experience and an estimated 3.5 million watches serviced. Typical turnaround is about four to eight weeks, varying with required work and part availability. The service suits modified or hard-to-service watches and owners seeking alternatives to brand service or local watchmakers; an example involved a 1980s Must de Cartier Tank with worn vermeil requiring repair.
