A watch that stops or keeps poor time may need a full overhaul. After inspection, I’ll explain the cleaning, repairs, lubrication, adjustment, and testing it needs.

  • Movement condition and wear review
  • Cleaning, lubrication, reassembly, and adjustment as appropriate
  • Parts needs discussed when they affect work or cost

Vintage watch restoration

Vintage Restoration

Vintage watch restoration

I aim to make your watch usable while preserving its character. We’ll discuss changes to original dials, hands, cases, and finishes before work begins.

  • Preservation-minded review
  • Originality weighed against usability
  • Visible cosmetic changes discussed first

Can I service it properly?

Condition, construction, past repairs, and what the movement actually needs come first.

Can I get what it needs?

Parts availability can decide whether a repair is straightforward, expensive, slow, or simply not sensible.

Does the repair make sense?

I’ll explain the likely cost and result. You decide what the watch is worth to you.

Pricing & Timing

Know the work and cost before you decide.

You’ll receive an estimate and expected timing after inspection. Hard-to-find parts or unexpected wear may add time.

Approval first: no repairs begin without your approval.

Inspection fees: the preliminary review is complimentary. See the Inspection & Estimate Policy for the $65 declined-estimate fee and potential $125 complex restoration deposit.

Changes discussed: if the job materially changes, I stop and contact you.

Not sure what your watch needs?

Describe the problem. You don’t need to name the repair.
