Watches at H. L. Brown

There are many things to consider when buying a watch. This covers items such as the colour, type of strap, materials, and perhaps most importantly, the function. Specialist watches will then have further items to then consider. We recommend trying to look at more than just the overall look of the watch – our showroom teams can help further with this during an appointment, or by simply visiting the store.

We lead busy lives, it is always a good idea to give the watch case an bracelet a polish with a clean cloth after wearing. Keeping the bracelet and case clean prevents anything  harmful that could effect seals and watch links building up. Water resistance is another feature that sometimes gets forgotten. A watch does not remain water resistant forever, so if a watch is regularly worn in water it’s a good idea to have it resealed every now again to ensure this key feature is upheld.

Buying a preowned watch can be a scary proposition. However, with a little research you can you buy the right watch at the right price without any of the worry. Buying from a reputable source, such as H. L. Brown, should always be the first item on the list – reputable sources will provide a warranty to provide reassurance that if the watch stops working through a fault for the 2 years after purchase, you know you’re covered. Boxes and paperwork are also highly desired, however remember, if the original box and warranty are not available this will be reflected in the price you pay. If the watch is for you and it’s a keeper, the previous details are less significant than the potential saving.

H. L. Brown has a trained Rolex accredited watch maker on site, working in our state of the art workshop. We’re able to complete maintenance and servicing on many brands. In addition, we have relationships with suppliers or the brands themselves to be able to facilitate all of your watch repair and servicing requirements.
