Customer Testimonials

What Ashton’s Customers Are Saying

“Nothing but pure expertise and top-notch service from Ashton. He serviced my 78 Speedy (Omega Speedmaster Professional) and exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend his work and look forward to dealing with him more in the future.”

Jason – British Columbia

“Ashton was able to restore a vintage (Rolex) Datejust for me that was in pretty rough condition. The time he took to explain the restoration process, as well as his patience with all my (many) questions, were truly appreciated. The end product was phenomenal and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. A fraction of the cost that the official Service Centre quoted me while retaining all the original parts. I couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks, Ashton and I certainly expect to be back again.
PS – The knowledge he shares as he works, is worth the price of admission in itself!”

Anthony – Ontario

“I left a few watches with Ashton and was very pleased with the work and quality of service. I recommend him for vintage pieces, he understands the importance of preserving its original condition.”

Restoration – Waltham 18 Size, Model 1883

I don’t often repair pocket watches, but occasionally one makes its way through the doors. This Waltham was in a pretty beat up condition with a broken minute hand, a very dirty dial, and a filthy movement. The other hands had also fallen off and were floating around the dial.

Overhaul Procedure – Seiko 6139-7030

The vintage Seiko’s seem to still be coming in thick and fast. Here we have a beautiful example of a vintage Seiko chronograph. The reference in question is a Seiko 6139-7030. The watch needed a new crystal and the case needed a good clean. Here is the watch in question.
