ESTIMATE PAID, LWR DID NOTHIING. RETURNED 4 MONTHS LATER NOT WORKING


Despite sending multiple emails detailing my experience, I have now been asked via Trustpilot to provide further information. This request was received from Luxury Watch Repairs. In response, I have already forwarded a selection of the emails previously sent to Luxury Watch Repairs.

However, all relevant details are clearly included within my original review and a plethora of recorded emails with the company.

Given this, I find the request for additional information unnecessary and, at this stage, appears to be a delaying tactic—particularly as I am approaching a point at which I intend to pursue legal action.

Excellent service by LWR

I am very pleased with the work carried out to replace the battery in my Omega Seamaster, especially the quick turnaround and safe delivery by your nominated carrier. It was also useful to have tracking updates directly from DHL to ensure I could be at home to receive the package.

Had my Rolex over 6 months

Had my Rolex over 6 months, communication terrible and cost £300 more than advertised initially. Got it back last June 2025, stopped working last week. No phone to call, no auto chat. Sent enquiries about how to get repaired under 3 year guarantee told company in new hands and not liable! Yet they're trading in same address with same website. Disgusting ! Please use a highstreet jeweller and send to manufacture. You pay more with this company in the long run

Quick fix - excellent service

I had a persistent problem with the bracelet clasp on my Rolex Oyster Perpetual DateJust watch.

I visited the workshop on Hatton Garden. Very friendly and professional service. Understood the problem and I had a fix within 10 minutes at no-charge!

They have previously cleaned my watch on several occasions and always done a great job.

I thoroughly recomend Luxury Watch Repairs.

Disaster - cannot contact when my watch steamed up suddenly!

My Rolex was serviced by Luxury Watch Repairs last year and apart from the fact there was hardly any communication to inform you of when you would see your watch again, the service seemed ok. How can I tell?
Well, I can tell now, due to the fact my watch steamed up suddenly on Thursday, whilst I was sitting down at home. I read you have to deal with this quickly, otherwise, further damage is caused to the watch.
Since then I have been trying really hard to get in touch with this company via email (you cannot contact them via the phone, as no one answers!). I have now resorted to filling in their enquiry form (they must be monitoring these), and hope someone takes is seriously. I am now completely left on my own with a watch that needs urgent attention due to their lack of workmanship regarding sealing the watch. What a disaster!

Reply from Luxury Watch Repairs

Dear Sarah King,

We’re very sorry to read your comments and understand your concern, particularly given the urgency of the issue you’ve described.

We have been trying to investigate this as a priority; however, we have been unable to locate any record of your repair based on the information provided in your review. No name, repair reference number, or contact details were included, and we cannot find any service under your name within the past four years on our system.

We did send a request via Trustpilot’s “Find Reviewer” tool last week asking for further details so that we can identify your watch and assist you as quickly as possible, but unfortunately, we have not yet received a response from you.

Given this, we would kindly ask you to confirm whether you have reviewed the correct company, or alternatively provide us with your repair reference number, full name, or the email address used when booking your service. Without this information, we are unable to investigate or offer the urgent support your situation requires.

We hope to hear from you as soon as possible so we can assist further.

Kind regards,

Luxury Watch Repairs

I would give no stars if possible

I would give no stars if possible. They have had my watch since September 2025. I gave up on having it repaired and asked for it to be returned to me immediately. That was a month ago. After an initial response promising immediate dispatch, nothing. Now they are ignoring my increasingly frantic emails.
UPDATE: You will see that Luxury Watch Repairs replied to my original review promising action. They sent me an email, too, also promising that they would look into my case. That was a week ago. Since then….nothing. I am beginning to wonder if I will ever see my watch again.

This was a perfect process from start to finish. Sent my watch away for a new battery and they emailed me a picture of it to say it had landed safely. It came back super quick and I’d definitely recommend them and will be using them again. Many thanks

Can’t fault them 5*

Can’t fault them. I’ve used r the hem several times now and each time they do above and beyond. I trust them with my watches and they have been and are always fully transparent in their costs. If you own an expensive timepiece these are the people you want servicing your watch. Thank you.

I gave me watch in December and paid the fee upfront. Up until Kelley joined the correspondence level was zero. Once she joined, I got instant response to my email.
Unfortunately they could not fix the watch and I have received my money back from them.
