Services

Every watch is different, so every job is quoted individually after inspection. The figures below are starting points, not quotes — the reference, its condition, and the parts it needs decide the final number.

You'll always have a written quote in hand before anything is opened, and nothing proceeds until you approve it.

01

Full Movement Overhaul

Starting at $450 · final quote after inspection

Complete disassembly of the movement, ultrasonic cleaning, inspection of every component under magnification, replacement of worn parts, lubrication with the correct oils for each pivot and jewel, reassembly, and regulation in multiple positions over several days of observation.

02

Crystal Replacement

Starting at $120

Replacement of scratched, cracked, or fogged crystals with correct acrylic, mineral, or sapphire glass for your reference — including gasket replacement and, where applicable, a pressure test to confirm the seal.

03

Dial & Hands Service

Quoted per job

Careful removal, cleaning, and re-installation of dials and hands; replacement of damaged hands with correct-pattern parts; relume of aged or missing luminous material on request. Original dials are preserved — never repainted without your explicit instruction.

04

Case & Bracelet Service

Starting at $180

Ultrasonic cleaning of case and bracelet, replacement of worn pins, screws, and clasp springs, and tightening of stretched links. Refinishing is available on request and done to factory geometry only — brushed surfaces re-brushed in the original grain direction, polished chamfers kept crisp. Preserving original surfaces is always the default recommendation.

05

Gaskets & Water Resistance

Starting at $90

Replacement of case back, crown, and crystal gaskets with a pressure test to the rating appropriate for your watch. Recommended with every service, and essential before a dive watch goes anywhere near water again.

06

Vintage Restoration

Quoted per project

Sympathetic restoration of vintage pieces: sourcing correct period components, conserving original dials and finishes, and bringing long-dormant movements back to reliable running order. Timelines are longer and communicated honestly — correct parts take time to find.
