We are able to offer watchmaking service on a professional basis.
We have worked on vintage Tudor, Rolex, Omega, and many other brand watches including Heuer, Bulova, Hamilton, Gruen, and both column wheel and cam lever chronograph movements by Lemania, Zenith, Omega, and Valjoux. We have experience with most ETA movements as well as alarm movements.
Services offered:
– Full non cosmetic restoration of vintage time pieces, including a full tear down of the watch’s movement, cleaning, assembly, oiling and regulation.
– Repair and replacement of any worn or defective parts in the watch movement as part of the full service.
– Changing of gaskets, crowns, and other consumable parts.
At this time, cosmetic services are limited to dial and hands reluming (only if requested). Case polishing and re-plating are not offered at this time, nor do we usually recommend it.
Rates:
Rates are dependent on the scope of your project. We are happy to meet your budget when possible, especially if your watch is sentimental, and perhaps has little monetary value.
Typical manual wind or automatic Swiss lever movements start at $350 + parts
Chronograph movements range from $600-1200 + parts
Pin Lever Escapement movements $250 + Parts.
Odd job (dial swap etc) $100 + Parts.
Parts are obtained locally from various supply houses and sold to you at cost + 10%. If you are the only reason I went to the supply house, there is a $25 parking fee. Parts from eBay have simple receipts to collect reimbursements. Some supply houses write on the back of a napkin and provide no itemized receipt.
Turn around time is 1-3 weeks. This is my night time and weekend hobby when I’m not fixing synthesizers for big money.
