Well, took someone's advice in the scales thread and sent my scales for a service. Come back as new, chuffed to bits. Thank you RH, great service!

Cheers cam
Not cheap but then again quality never is.
And I suppose cheap compared to a new set at £90
Think I paid £60 for mine when I bought them around 2010.
Jeez just typing that made me realise maybe they're well due a service.

It's not just the internals they look at, when they come back they'll look like a new £90 set

You can ask them to replace anything (apart from the internals I think).
I'd cracked the back case but asked if they could replace the front as those mini scratches made it look frosted after years. They even called me and asked if I wanted the hooks replacing.

The service is second to none, really is.

If it costs you a fiver to send them and 30 for the repair and 90 originally, that's 125 and your probably doubling the life of them, 62.50 each life...no complaints here.

I think I paid £27 five years ago and as mentioned they came back spotless as they replaced the front cover

They'll probably be revising the pricing if they get a influx...lol.

They should do tear off patches for the dial face cover, similar to those use by motorbike riders.

Cosmetically my ones just had general wear and tear. I didn't add a note asking for them to do anything specific, i just sent them off and they came back like new.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
