    Does ABC Watchwerks do pocket watches as well? My sister wants to get my grandmother's pocket watch repaired and serviced.

    Christian at watchguy.co.uk is very good. Have a look at his website for some examples of his work.

    Oh it might be. The broad arrow is modern. But it's also more complex being a chrono.

    I'm pretty sure they can handle that without a problem. Why not just send them an email?

    Can only agree - Christian does excellent work and there will be no surprises (other than what surprises him too). And you can follow progress through his workshop on a (personal) job-tracking page, showing details, cost, pictures.

    His website says he is not accepting any watches currently.

    They can do the Omega but they do not service pocket watches right now.
