Vintage watch service & restoration

Be.Vintage.GB was born from a simple passion: vintage watches. It all started when I was gifted two vintage timepieces by my family. One of them had stopped working, and determined to bring it back to life, I dove headfirst into the world of watch repair. The challenge was huge — especially since chronograph movements are notoriously complex — but getting that first watch ticking again, even imperfectly, sparked a journey that continues today.

Six years on, I’ve honed my craft and built Be.Vintage.GB into a place dedicated to the restoration and sale of vintage Seiko and other iconic watch brands.

Since Seiko authorised dealers no longer service vintage models due to the scarcity of parts, Be.Vintage.GB has built up an extensive stock of new old stock components. This means we can handle a wide variety of servicing and restoration projects, keeping these classic watches alive for the next generation.

Every watch we sell has been carefully restored using genuine Seiko parts — from dials and hands to cases and bracelets — unless clearly stated otherwise. Looking ahead, we’re excited to grow our blog section, where we’ll share guidance on navigating the often-confusing world of non-genuine watches.

At Be.Vintage.GB, it’s all about preserving the charm, history, and craftsmanship of vintage timepieces, one watch at a time.
