Often, yes — but act fast. Moisture corrodes a movement quickly, so message us as soon as you notice fogging under the glass. We'll strip and dry the movement, replace damaged parts, and reseal the case.

As a rule of thumb, every four to five years. The oils inside the movement degrade over time whether the watch is worn or not, and running a movement on degraded oil wears the components. If your watch has gone much longer, a service is worthwhile even if it seems to run fine.

The movement is removed from the case and completely stripped down. Every component is cleaned, inspected for wear, and the movement is reassembled with the correct fresh oils. It's then regulated on timing equipment, the case is cleaned and resealed with new gaskets where needed, and the watch is tested before return.

It varies with the movement — a simple three-hand automatic is less involved than a chronograph. Message us on WhatsApp or email with the brand and model and we'll give you a free, honest diagnostic before anything goes ahead.

A proper service can't be rushed — the movement must be stripped, cleaned, oiled, reassembled, and then observed over time to confirm the regulation. We'll give you a realistic timescale with your estimate.
