I can service (COA - Clean, Oil, Adjust) most vintage mechanical
watches, including everything from a key wind Elgin pocketwatch to a Seiko Bellmatic
to a Valjoux chronograph. I can replace parts (balance staffs,
mainsprings, hands, stems, crowns, etc.) on many watches, although parts availability
is always an issue with vintage timepieces. At your request, I can send out metal dials and
hands for refinishing. I have a huge inventory of glass and plastic
crystals for vintage wristwatches. I can also fit crystals for most
pocket watches although I do not have a large inventory of glass pocket watch crystals.

How long will it take?
I am employed full time in a different field and only do watch repair part time, but I
generally return watches sent for service in 10 to 14 days. I invest 2 to 3 hours in
every watch (more for chronographs) and it may take me a few days to acquire necessary
parts. If I am experiencing a high volume of work and anticipate a longer turnaround time,
I will advise you up front.
I look forward to hearing from you.
