I brought in a vintage Omega that had been in my family for decades but hadn't run properly in years. Cheng Wei took the time to explain what was happening with the gear train and why certain parts needed attention. The Complete Service took about three weeks, and when I collected the watch, it was running within a few seconds per day. What impressed me most was being able to speak directly with the person doing the work.

The Gear Train Inspection service helped me understand what was wrong with my watch before deciding on repairs. The written report was detailed and honest — Lin Hui pointed out that while some wear was present, the watch could continue running with just cleaning rather than expensive parts replacement. I appreciated this straightforward approach rather than being pushed toward unnecessary work.

Thoroughbred Restoration on my grandfather's watch. The comprehensive work took several weeks, but the updates throughout the process kept me informed. The case restoration honored the original finish patterns, and the photographic documentation I received shows exactly what was done. The watch looks renewed while maintaining its character. Worth every bit of the wait and investment.

My Seiko stopped running after being stored for years. Yang Kai examined it and found the mainspring had lost tension and the movement needed a thorough cleaning. The Complete Service brought it back to life. The timing across different positions is now remarkably consistent. What stood out was the patience in answering my questions about care and maintenance going forward.

Brought my daily wear watch in when the timekeeping became erratic. The service was professional and thorough, though it did take longer than initially estimated when additional pivot wear was discovered. They contacted me before proceeding with the extra work, which I appreciated. The watch now runs within COSC specifications. Only minor concern was wishing I'd known upfront about the possible timeline extension.

I inherited a watch that needed extensive restoration. The initial consultation covered all options for dial treatment and case refinishing, respecting my preferences about preserving versus renewing. The Thoroughbred Restoration process included regular updates with photos showing the progress. The final result exceeded my expectations while keeping the watch's essential character intact. This level of care is rare.

Client Stories

Challenge

A 1960s chronograph movement with seized pushers, contaminated gear train, and a mainspring that had crystallized from decades of inactivity. The watch had sentimental value but seemed beyond simple repair.

Solution

Complete chronograph overhaul including pusher mechanism restoration, new mainspring, full cleaning and relubrication. Chronograph functionality verified through multiple timing sessions. Case refinishing with preservation of hallmarks and engravings.

Results

Watch returned to full working condition. Chronograph starts, stops, and resets cleanly. Timekeeping accuracy within 4 seconds per day. Client now wears the watch regularly after years in storage. Service completed in 9 weeks.

"The watch my father left me is now something I can actually use and enjoy. Seeing it run again after so many years dormant is meaningful beyond the repair itself. The care taken to preserve the original engravings mattered to me."

— Robert Chen, December 2025

Challenge

A modern automatic movement experiencing significant rate variation — gaining 30+ seconds per day in some positions, losing time in others. Previous service elsewhere had not resolved the inconsistency.

Solution

Detailed escapement examination revealed improper pallet fork geometry from previous amateur adjustment attempt. Replaced pallet fork, verified banking pins, adjusted guard pin clearance. Hairspring inspected for deformation. Complete timing verification across positions over 5 days observation.

Results

Rate now consistent across all six positions, varying by less than 6 seconds per day. Client reports watch performs reliably whether worn or stored overnight. Issue resolved properly after identifying root cause previous service had missed. Turnaround: 3 weeks.

"Finally got the straight answer about what was wrong. The previous place had 'serviced' it but the problem persisted. Having someone take the time to find the actual cause rather than just cleaning and hoping made all the difference."

— Kevin Tan, January 2026

Challenge

Dress watch with damaged dial — moisture had entered and caused spotting. Case showed significant wear. Owner uncertain whether restoration would destroy the watch's original character or be worthwhile investment.

Solution

Consultation phase discussed all options — dial refinishing, stabilization, or replacement. Client chose stabilization to preserve patina. Case restored with attention to maintaining original brush patterns between polished surfaces. Movement received complete overhaul. New crystal and crown tube installed.

Results

Watch looks renewed while retaining evidence of its history. Dial spotting stabilized without aggressive refinishing. Case finish appears professionally maintained rather than over-polished. Movement runs within specifications. Client wears watch regularly with confidence. Timeline: 8 weeks total.

"The conversation about preservation versus refinishing helped me understand what I actually wanted. The result respects what the watch is — an heirloom with history — rather than trying to make it look brand new. That balance is exactly what I hoped for."

— Jennifer Wu, January 2026
