Antique and Modern cannot be trusted.
I had already had two Seiko titanium watches, one automatic and one solar, both of which had given good service. So I bought my wife a Seiko solar as a present in February 2018. After a little over a year my wife's watch would only run for a few hours before stopping. Unfortunately the jeweller from whom I had bought it had ceased trading and I had not retained proof of purchase so I went to the local repairer 'Antique and Modern' in Barnet. They charged £25 for a new 'condenser' and handed the watch back to me with exactly the same fault. I took it back and they then asked £113 for 'a new movement'. They even said that they would be losing money at that price. This sounded wrong to me so I sent the watch off to Seiko UK on the off-chance. Seiko repaired the watch quickly and sent it back, the invoice showed that the 'new movement' cost was £58, which they discounted by 100% so they charged nothing at all, not even postage.
