This very rare ‘Speedy’ was rescued by a valued client, but unfortunately it had under-gone a lot of abuse in its life. We received the watch in very poor mechanical and cosmetic condition. While completely overhauling the calibre 1861 movement, we also reshaped the 316L stainless steel bracelet and case back to its former glory. The hesalite screen was removed, reprofiled and polished back to original condition.

This fantastic reference was in the collection of an avid Rolex and Tudor chronograph collector. With the case, and hesalite screen very badly damaged, he tried to source a new, original screen example. Sadly these screens are out of production, fortunately we could restore the view and clarity of the damaged screen. The chronograph movement underwent a complete overhaul and was brought back to chronometer certification accuracy. The case and caseback were also restored very carefully, as not to change the original geometry of the design.

We really enjoy the opportunity to ‘operate’ on family heirlooms. This Rolex 5513 Submariner had endured multiple generations in the same family, got lost, and was eventually found. We changed all the gaskets, completely overhauled the movement using only original (period accurate) spares, and rejuvenated the original hesalite screen and case (very gently), while being mindful that this is a vintage piece with a life well-lived!

Buckles often undergo the most wear and abuse as they’re very often the first point to make contact with a surface. This 316L stain-less steel deployant clasp was refurbished with a factory-specific satin finish. We give our customers the option of a high-polished finish or a matt, satin finish. We will also always advise what the original finish of the watch or bracelet was to maintain originality.

A common rejuvenation is that of steel, sports model Rolex timepieces. This reference: 16610 bracelet with 904L steel is severely tough and had gained some deep scratches. The key is to rejuvenate the surface without compromising the detailing, such as the Rolex Crown or geometry of the bracelet itself.

Luxury watches are built to last, this means they often travel from owner to owner. The new owner of this 316L stainless steel clasp, wanted the previous owner’s name removed and restored to factory specifications. We also (often) remove engravings on precious metal cases, such as gold, platinum and silver.
