PARTS

These prices do not include: new case parts, movement parts or refurbishment of case and bracelet. We have many sources of hard-to-find materials for watches that we service. We also can fabricate parts if needed. However, we are not a material supplier, therefore we do not sell parts to the public. Should any new part be required, please note that we shall retain the used part. Due to the construction of the case, watches that originally came with plastic crystals cannot be retrofitted with modern sapphire crystals.

WATER RESISTANT

We do not recommend taking any vintage watch near water.

For modern watches that are water resistant in design, we use testing equipment to ensure reliability. We recommend having the water resistance of your divers watch checked once a year if you use it for swimming or diving. We do not guarantee water resistance on Vintage watches.
