Can service centre achieve chronometre sepcs?

[Teogc]

Wondering in general, watch by authorised agent or third party are they able to achieve the watch accuracy under chronometre specs?

Recently my friend told me that from a reputed third party service centre, they could achive his watch accuracy after servicing (Omega seamaster) up to +10 sec considered very good.

Care to share your experience and advise?

accuracy after servicing

I had a complete overhaul on a 15yr old Tudor Sub at RSC last year, it was expensive but the watch kept time to within plus TWO seconds a day during the week I used it after collection. Generally, a good watchmaker can achieve excellent results if its a complete overhaul . If its extreme accuracy you are after, quartz is the way to go. A low cost option are the Seikos which use a 8F56? movement. They run on CR2412? lithium cells and last over six years per battery change. They keep time to within a minute a year or about five seconds a month, usually its actually better then this. Upmarket, look at the sinn UX which has a swiss chronomter rating for quartz watches! cheers.
