Just recently collected my fathers Tiara vintage swiss watch that I originally took in for a new dial .. but ended up in a full restoration that took 18 months. The duration of repair was somewhat irrelevant to means it was always about the quality of the end result, and I have to say I am blown away by the watch I got back. It is like brand new. My father died 10 years ago, and the memory of this watch is one of the clearest I have so to have it back in working condition as something I can occasionally wear is more than I hoped for. Thanks so much to Lorna from the Chester branch of The Watch Lab and to all the other people who must have been involved but I did not directly meet. Very very pleased.
