SERVICING
Whether or not you choose to take advantage of our lifetime guarantee, your watch's 'engine' still needs to be serviced from time to time to keep it in optimum condition for accurate timekeeping. When you send your watch back to us at Wessex you can rest assured that it will be given all the TLC that it needs, not only to keep it running well but also to keep it looking good. So your case is thoroughly cleaned and, if we are able to, we'll also remove any scratches from it.
Over the years your dial may lose some of its lustre naturally, but because our specialist, handmade dials are what sets Wessex Watches apart from the crowd, we include overhauling the dial, if it needs it, as part of our service, so as long as you have us do the service you need never pay for dial work again!
