Watch repair in San Francisco — FAQ
What does a Full Service watch repair involve?
A Full Service involves disassembling the watch movement entirely, cleaning each individual component, replacing worn parts, reassembling, and applying fresh lubricants.
How often should a watch receive a Full Service?
Most manufacturers recommend having a Full Service performed on a mechanical watch every three to five years to ensure proper lubrication and accurate timekeeping.
Why is a Full Service necessary for mechanical watches?
Over time, internal lubricants dry out and microscopic debris can accumulate. A Full Service prevents this friction from causing permanent damage to the delicate gears and pivots.
Can a Full Service resolve timekeeping inaccuracies?
Yes, by cleaning the movement, applying fresh oil, and regulating the balance wheel, a Full Service is the standard method to correct a watch that is running too fast or too slow.
Is water resistance checked during a Full Service?
Yes, a comprehensive Full Service typically includes replacing the gaskets and testing the case to ensure it meets its original water resistance specifications.
