Overhaul/Service Explained 

I am often asked about what an overhaul entails. So, I have started adding a photo of the movement, disassembled ready to go through the cleaning machine. All old dried-up lubricants, crud and anything else that shouldn't be there is cleaned away. Then, the movement is reassembled, lubricated, adjustments made and regulated. Routinely, the back and the crown seals are replaced (where possible) as are the spring lugs. The case is lightly re-finished if necessary. Also, the glass is re-polished if required and possible.

About vintage mechanical watches:

A vintage mechanical watch will not perform like a modern quartz (electronic) watch. It is not ideal as a daily wearer. It should be treated for what it is, something old, classical and special.  Treat it as you would a vintage car - not ideal to use as a “daily driver”. Keep it in the condition at which you bought it and it will hold or, indeed, increase its value. Use it every day and it will go backwards.

About Me:

I am a born-again watchmaker! I finished my apprenticeship in 1973 having completed technical training at the RMIT, Melbourne. In 1977 I went into retail (jewellery and watches). In the mid 90’s I realised that the watches that once were common had become rare and I began to appreciate their beauty both aesthetically and mechanically. That’s when I started collecting classics. When covid hit in 2020, I retired from retail, set up a workshop at home, regained my skills and am now restoring classics with a passion.
