The other day, we received a request to repair a watch that was brought in by a customer.
The watch doesn't work even when the crown is wound,
The watch underwent an overhaul and mainspring replacement.
It is very important to have vintage watches regularly overhauled,
Overhauling is not the process of "restoring something to its brand-new condition."
The basic process involves cleaning the parts and reapplying new machine oil to prevent wear and tear.
At the same time, we inspect and adjust the precision of each part.
If wear and tear on a part is discovered during the work, the part will be replaced.
There is a possibility of parts breaking due to deterioration after the overhaul.
Therefore, we offer a 6-month warranty after repair, whether you purchase the item from us or bring it in for repair.
The issue is a natural malfunction resulting from normal use.
For wear and tear or damage to parts, we only charge for the cost of the parts themselves.
This repair requires the replacement of the mainspring.
The mainspring was replaced along with the watch overhaul.
We also suggested to the customer that we refinish the exterior to make it look brand new.
Since you kindly approved the work,
We thoroughly repaired not only the interior but also the exterior.
This time
Overhaul: ¥33,000
New finish: ¥11,000
Mainspring replacement: ¥8,800
Total: ¥52,800
In the future, it would be best to have it overhauled every three years.
I believe we can maintain vintage watches so that they can be worn on a daily basis.
This should allow me to use it for a long time.
Thank you very much for using our services!
