Genuine Certina Parts & Careful Diagnosis
Accurate diagnosis is essential before replacing components. Our watchmakers inspect the movement, winding system, calendar or chronograph functions, crown, crystal, seals, case and bracelet before preparing an estimate.
Genuine Certina components are used where required and available. For vintage Certina watches, parts availability can vary by reference and calibre, so restoration options are discussed individually before work begins.
