recommendations for Seiko restorer(s) in the EU and the UK please

Hi,

Which restorers would you recommend for a full service and a relume of a Seiko 7548 diver an a service (and a relume?) of my Seiko 7A28 RAF Gen 1 chrono?

Those vintage - and famous - quartz calibers should be able to run for another 30-40 years if properly serviced now. Although Seiko USA includes these calibers in their service price list (https://www.seikoserviceusa.com/pages/serviceprice/ - both movements are USD 170), a Seiko dealer in the Netherlands told me that they don't work on those classics here.

(I will ask https://seiko.nl/contact directly, though. And look for other European service centers.)

In the past - more than ten years ago - International Watch Works / Jack Alexyon did superb modding and reluming work for me, but they don't service Seiko movements.

I would ask on the Seiko & Citizen Watch Forum (TheWatchSite), but haven't logged in there in years and may have to create a new accont...

Please let me know who you would recommend and what their contact information is. Pictures of your watches and/or links to their work will help me decide! :-)

I'd prefer someone in the EU, but if it's possible to temporarily export my own watches without paying taxes etc I would of course be happy with someone in the UK - I know some of the best may be members of this forum.

Thanks in advance!

Duncan, The watch bloke has done good work on my autos, not sure if he does quartz though, maybe worth dropping him a PM. He is a member here.

George Clarkson @ only vintage watches
Check out his YouTube channel. I have never used him personally but lots of posts on watchmakers/ repair forums and he is based in Germany I think. Maybe worth dropping him a email
All the best with the resto

If you need to export, the classification is 'Horological item for repair'.
