About Us
Who Are We?
We are a small family run horology business, who have been working with Seiko, as well as other watch manufactures, for many years. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our second to none craftsmanship.
Where are we ?
Seiko Works are located in the small fishing village of Portlethen in Aberdeenshire by the North sea coast in North East Scotland.
The beautiful picture above is our local coastline, taken during a sunrise in winter.
Our Business
We buy our Seiko watches from all over the world, refurbish and fully service them before advertising them in our on-line shop, then shipping them to our customers worldwide.
The Seiko watches we sell, are mechanical and quartz variations from 1960 onwards, as well as some Citizen watches.
All of our business is conducted by email and post, as currently, we do not have premises that the public can visit.
Our service department service Seiko timepieces for our customers worldwide, but we do occasionally service other makes on special request.
As we only use genuine Seiko parts for the movements, we are always interested in buying genuine NOS (New Old Stock) Seiko parts in bulk and encourage businesses to contact us in regards to this.
Servicing
We do offer servicing for most Seiko watches.
Please see the Service Department page for more details.

Testimonials
A few of the genuine unedited comments we received from our customers Worldwide.*
Neil: Isle of Wight
I received my watch back. Really pleased to have it working again. Thank you for an amazing service.
Mr Morgan: Aberdeen
I have to say I am incredibly impressed with the speed of the entire transaction and with the work done. The watch is now all I hoped it would be when I originally purchased it. Thank you. It is seldom the case that these days I am so impressed with the service provided by a business, and so I really wish to give credit where it is due. I would not hesitate to use your service again in future, be it for servicing a watch, or purchasing another vintage Seiko piece.
Lewis: Glasgow
Excellent service throughout and the level to which the watches have been prepared is impeccable.
Keith: North Yorkshire
Thank you for your prompt and professional service.
Etienne: Singapore
I have received my Seiko C359 and I am absolutely thrilled! It is in pristine condition and it looks gorgeous. Thank you for the perfect packaging, the lovely note and for even setting it to the correct time in my country.
Angela: Denbighshire.
Oh my gosh. That is absolutely fantastic so pleased with all the work you have done.
Rob: Australia
Just wanted to confirm that my much loved watch has arrived back all safe and in beautiful working order.
It probably sounds a bit superfluous, but this watch was/is extremely important to me. It was of course a bit of a leap of faith to mail it overseas, but I felt very reassured by the ongoing assistance and friendly communication from your business. This was backed up by ongoing updates and advice re every step of the repair process.
All in all, my watch required quite an amount of work and parts. I knew that and expected that advice long before your assessment. Ultimately I was far more than happy with your professional fees for returning my beloved watch to full running order. It even speaks volumes that the watch had the second hand and bezel perfectly zeroed and aligned upon return. (I had the battery replaced locally by XXXXXX in Melbourne quite some years back and it had to be returned as they actually returned my watch initially with the sweep hand not capable of resetting to 12 o’clock. Need I say more…..)
I can’t overexpress how grateful I am for the work you undertook and the professional friendly support I received throughout. If there is any way I can leave a detailed testimonial or a review on any platform, please let me know as I’d love to provide evidence of my outstanding experience, right down to the very generous assistance in contributing to my import duties. Purely from a human perspective, the entire process was a rewarding and thoroughly positive experience.
Seiko Works is the very model of a professional and committed business and I would have absolutely no reservation in recommending your services to anyone, anywhere.
Matthew: Hertfordshire
Many thanks for your fantastic service.
Dave: Berkshire
I got my watch back on Saturday and I just want to tell you – you have done a wonderful job! It looks like brand new and works a treat! Thank you so much. It’s lovely to get it back and working again! Top stuff!
Trevor: County Durham
Thank you so much for your email and amazingly rapid service. The video shows everything perfectly.
It appears that my dad must have had his watch ‘serviced’ at some point in the past, but of course we have no idea of when or by whom it was done. Thank you for helping keep a small but very personal part of my Dad alive for me.
George: North Yorkshire
Just to let you know, got the watches absolutely love them especially the Bell Matic you guys have done an exceptional job.
I will definitely be passing on your details to my watch collector friends thank you again.
Chris: East Sussex
Just to let you know my watch was waiting for me when I got in from work last night.
To say I’m absolutely delighted with it would be an understatement, it certainly never looked that clean and shiny when XXXXX serviced it. Also the crystal looks amazing – I think when the last one was installed it didn’t fit properly and I always felt it was very slightly proud on one edge; not any more!
Thank you also for the information below and the paperwork and instructions you sent with it.
All in all you have provided the most amazing service, so I’ll get onto Seiko this morning and let them know what a great recommendation you were.
Thank you again and I wish you all the very best and have a lovely Easter break.
I’ll be in touch again in about 10 years!
Michael: Hampshire
A quick note to confirm I have received my watch. I am delighted with the work and attention to detail; and the speed of turnaround.
Lesley: Glasgow
Just a little note to say picked up my watch this morning and it looks great.
It looks like a new watch and is sparkling.
After Seiko said they could not do anything I was devastated as it means so much to me and then you came along and cast your spell.
It looks like it will outlast me and I will now delight in wearing it rather than it being left in a drawer.
Gavin: Suffolk
The watch looks fantastic. Thank you very much for bringing it back to good running order. It’s my connection to my grampas memory and means more to me than any Rolex ever could.
John: Devon
Just arrived home to open my package from you.
I’m absolutely delighted with the watch. I’m a great fan of faceted crystals and this one is the best I’ve seen; so far. The strap fits like a glove and I’m so glad it’s an original, that’s important to me.
The colour and condition of the dial is superb and the watch was well packed and protected.
I loved the fact you provided an instruction manual via a USB card and that will stay with the watch.
Once again an excellent watch and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone.
Graham: Surrey
Watch just arrived safely & well packaged. It now feels & looks good. Thank you for your work, honesty and excellent customers’ service. Hopefully it will continual to give me a lot of pleasure & reliability in wearing it into the future.
Ian: West Sussex

I just wanted to let you know my watch was safely delivered yesterday and is proudly back on my wrist today after more than a decade.
A Sincere Thank you to all involved.
Steve: Lancashire
Never used PayPal invoicing before but really easy so that’s it paid. Many thanks again for the excellent, speedy turnaround, I’d be happy to leave a positive review on whichever platform is best for you.
Artur: Poland
I’ll try to say a few words even if I speak a little English.
Finally I got it! I just received the parcel after days on transit. The watch fits well and… it blows my mind! Wearing my Seiko makes me happy!
Hats off for Seiko Works team!
Noah: West Midlands
I recently purchased a Seiko Chronos Quartz (8123) from you as an early 20th birthday present for myself, and I’m over the moon with it! Thank you so much for the service. The watch is absolutely immaculate. I’ll definitely be purchasing from you again :).
Lewis: Oxfordshire
Just a quick email to let you know that the watches arrived safe and sound this morning. They both are beautiful, exactly what I was looking for, and I’m very much looking forward to wearing them. Thank you for the fantastic service and fast delivery.
Marcelo: Brazil
Com muita satisfação informo que recebi o relógio e tudo está OK.
Obrigado pela atenção.
Este modelo eu havia comprado no Japão em 1998 e havia dado para meu primo, que o vendeu.
Agora finalmente tenho o modelo que resgata recordações de uma saudosa época.
mais que um relógio, um desejo realizado!
“I am very pleased to inform you that I have received the watch and everything is OK.
Thank you for your attention.
I had bought this model in Japan in 1998 and given it to my cousin, who sold it.
Now I finally have the model that brings back memories of a fond era.
more than a watch, a wish come true!”
Ernie: Norfolk
Email Sent to Seiko (UK) from Ernie:
Further to our discussions this morning, I would like to formally place on record my extreme pleasure of your recommendation you recently gave me, to seek the services of DMC Timepieces Ltd to inspect/repair/service my vintage Seiko watch.
I did contact them to ascertain the scope and costs of any repairs or parts to enable a service and test to be carried out to bring the timepiece back to it’s fullest serviceability and reliability, in line with normal acceptable limits, bearing in mind the watch’s age, it’s past usage and anticipated cost restraints.
Throughout the contact I had with them, either verbally or email, they were very amiable, yet very professional and the inspection/repair/service was carried out expeditiously with full updates on progress and postage return together with a written report of the faults and condition found, work carried and future recommendations for likely future periodic servicing.
The final cost for this superlative service was in my opinion extremely reasonable bearing in mind the obvious skill and craftsmanship employed.
In summary, I would like to thank you for your initial recommendation and in view of the work done and the service I received I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending anyone to their Company for similar work.
