Step-by-Step Restoration Process: A Real-Life Example


Below is a step-by-step breakdown of a recent full watch restoration project, showcasing the level of care and detail that goes into every piece.

1. Initial Condition / Assessment

Initial Assessment: The watch arrived in poor condition. It showed heavy signs of neglect and improper handling, with visible dirt, oil build-up, and fingerprints left directly on both the movement and the dial—clearly the result of an unprofessional previous service.

2. Disassembly & Component Protection

Disassembly: Began the process by carefully removing the battery and safely extracting the movement. The movement was immediately transferred to a dust-protected container to shield delicate components during the case restoration.

3. Case & Bracelet Refinishing

Refinishing & Polish: Restored the watch case and bracelet by sanding out scratches, applying a sharp brushed finish where needed, and mirror-polishing the highlights. All surfaces were blended seamlessly to match the original factory aesthetic.

4. Deep Case Cleaning

Ultrasonic & Detail Cleaning: The case and bracelet underwent an intensive deep-clean in an ultrasonic bath, followed by detailed manual cleaning using specialized tools, brushes, and fine sticks to remove debris from hard-to-reach crevices.

5. Crystal Replacement

Glass Replacement: The scratched, damaged original crystal was pressed out and replaced with a brand-new, crystal-clear replacement to ensure full dial clarity.

6. Movement Service & Reassembly

Movement Cleaning & Battery Replacement: Carefully cleaned the movement, installed fresh silver-oxide batteries, and precisely reinstalled the movement back into the pristine case.

7. Gasket Service & Case Sealing

Gasket Replacement & Sealing: Sourced a new case back gasket, lubricated it with high-grade silicone grease to ensure proper sealing and water resistance, and securely closed the case back.

8. Final Result

Final Result: Restoration complete. The watch is fully operational, thoroughly cleaned, and restored to an exceptional cosmetic and functional condition.
