We recently repaired a watch for a customer.
This time, we performed an overhaul and a strap replacement.
Since the customer had used the watch for many years, there was some discoloration on the case,
so we removed the discoloration and cleaned the case during the overhaul.
Additionally, the strap was damaged, so we recommended a replacement.
The customer requested a "dark navy strap,"
so this time we replaced it with a navy strap from the very popular "CASSIS RIOM MATT" series.
We were able to return it in a condition that, while not new, was as beautiful as when it was first purchased.
During an overhaul, we work to clean the watch body as well,
but there is no way to clean a strap other than replacing it.
You certainly don't need to replace it with an expensive leather strap,
but if you notice it's damaged, please consider replacing it.
You'll surely feel as if you've acquired a new watch, and your affection for it will grow!
