@Watch Repairs and Movement Services - FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

Q: What is the typical turnaround time for services?
Most projects, including restoration and repairs, require 4–6 weeks for completion. Complex restorations or rare part sourcing may extend timelines, which we communicate during the initial evaluation.
Q: How are service costs determined?
Pricing reflects the scope of work, part availability, and labor intensity. After a free inspection, we provide a detailed estimate with tiered options (e.g., basic cleaning vs. full movement overhaul).
Q: Do you authenticate watches before restoration?
Yes. We conduct authenticity checks using high-resolution microscopy and manufacturer databases to ensure components match original specifications. Certificates of authenticity are available upon request.
Q: What type of batteries do you use in quartz watches?
We utilize high-quality Sony batteries (manufactured in Japan) for all quartz watch services. While "Swiss-made" batteries are often requested, our experience indicates a higher risk of electrolyte leakage, particularly during prolonged storage. This leakage can cause significant damage to the watch movement. Sony batteries provide superior reliability and longevity, mitigating this risk and ensuring optimal performance.
Q: Do you accept international shipments?
We serve clients globally via insured couriers (DHL, FedEx). Customs documentation assistance is provided for non-Hong Kong residents.
Q: What post-restoration care do you recommend?
We provide a 6-month warranty and advise annual servicing.
Q: Do you offer free consultations?
Yes. We provide free check-ups and consultations to assess your watch case's condition and recommend suitable restoration options.
