Precision Watch Works

Downtown Boston watchmaker doing full services, overhauls and vintage repair on Longines, Omega, Rolex and TAG Heuer, with mail-in service available.

Precision Watch Works sits on Washington Street in downtown Boston, where an on-site watchmaker handles full services, overhauls and repairs. The shop services Longines, Omega, Rolex and TAG Heuer, and also takes on vintage American, German and Swiss pieces, including makers like Hamilton, Illinois, Patek Philippe and Waltham.

The watchmaker holds a WOSTEP certification, the Swiss-recognized horology training credential. The shop says it is an authorized service center for Rolex, Omega and TAG Heuer, though that status is their own claim and worth confirming directly if it matters for your piece.

Work is handled through a written estimate process: customers fill out a form to either drop off or mail in a watch, and estimates are typically returned in about five working days. Complex repair estimates start at $200, which is applied toward the final repair cost if the customer approves the work. Mail-in service is available for those outside the Boston area, and dealer inquiries are welcomed.

The shop is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:30am to 5:00pm, and closed Saturday, Sunday and Monday. It's a good option for anyone in Boston looking for a full overhaul, a vintage repair, or routine service on one of the brands they work with, rather than a quick battery swap.

Questions

Can I mail in my watch instead of visiting in person?
Yes, the shop offers mail-in service in addition to drop-off, using the same estimate request form.

Complex repair estimates start at $200, and that fee is applied to the repair cost if you approve the work; the shop doesn't list flat prices for every service.
How long does it take to get an estimate?
The shop says estimates typically take about five working days unless noted otherwise.
Which brands does Precision Watch Works service?
They service Longines, Omega, Rolex and TAG Heuer, plus vintage American, German and Swiss watches from makers like Hamilton, Illinois, Patek Philippe and Waltham.
Is this shop authorized by Rolex or Omega?
The shop states it is an authorized service center for Rolex, Omega and TAG Heuer, but that claim comes from the shop itself and should be confirmed directly if it's important to you.
