Three Services,
One Careful Approach
From a battery replacement to a complete vintage restoration — each job at Seri Waktu follows the same disciplined method.
Back to HomeHow Every Job Proceeds
Receive & Assess
The watch is logged, a condition report is written, and the technician identifies any anomalies before any cost is discussed.
Quote & Agree
A fixed quote tied to the written scope is presented. Work begins only when the client confirms in writing or by message.
Service & Document
The agreed work is carried out. Overhauls and restorations are photographed at key stages and recorded in the client file.
Test & Return
Mechanical pieces are tested before handover. Timing results are shared. The client is notified when the watch is ready for collection.
Battery & Strap Service
A careful battery replacement paired with a full strap or bracelet assessment. The technician examines gasket condition, tests water resistance pressure where applicable, cleans the case exterior, and fits a matching battery. Strap work includes link resizing, spring-bar replacement, and leather conditioning. Suitable for everyday quartz pieces, smart-hybrid watches, and fashion timepieces brought in for routine upkeep.
