ryte time watch repairs

http://www.rytetimewatchrepairs.co.uk/ after looking through some threads, this guy keeps popping up for watch repairs.
I'm just a bit bothered theres no address for him or the business just a p.o box number.
Are you lot certain he is legit?

He serviced my Omega Seamaster Pro! (It was, however, serviced by the previous owner before I bought it but it seems to run +/-1s a day so he did something right... maybe he swapped the movement out for a quartz. )

Oh, just remembered, he serviced my Sicura (again, before I bought it). Can't give the same glowing report as the movement is a pin-pallet one so will never get a COSC level of accuracy.

serviced my navitimer and a tag back in the summer, good guy and great work, about to send him another to fettle, all based on recommendations from here.

Seems like a fairly sensible move to me. If I had tens of thousands of pounds worth of watches lying around at my place, last thing I'd want to do is to tell the men in the stripy jumpers where they were.

The Breitling UK service centre only has a PO Box number too.

I had exactly the same concern as you but after a bit of digging was satisfied he was legit. I sent him my Seamaster and it came back running better than when it was new so he gets a recommendation from me.

Highly recommended from me also.
Has done great work for me.

It depends what you ask Steve to do.
I'm sure he would if asked.

I've used him dozens of times, highly recommended.

Do not worry he is fine I have used him twice. Steve is well respected in the watch world

[Spice_Weasel]

Another recommendation from me.

OP, the way he works is this: You send him your watch, about week later, after he has inspected the watch, he calls you early evening to discuss what needs doing and estimated cost, that would be a good time to discuss water-proofing.

After agreeing on any work he then goes ahead.

About a week later you get a call from Mrs Ryte Time telling you the watch is ready and how would you like to pay? (+ charge for RMSD). I pay by bank transfer.

A couple of days later - watch arrives with a hand-written guarantee for 6 months.

Old school, but very reliable.

[crackthatoff]

sounds good, have sent him a mail to get it sorted.
thanks everyone !

Great service from Steve. Just don't expect it back in the time quoted!

Absolutely. Ring him if youre concerned, but its not too hard to work out why, as he has tens of thousands of pounds worth of peoples watches on his premises. All in a big safe, but why make yourself a target?
