CASE BEFORE REPAIR
PARTS BEFORE REPAIR
MOVEMENT BEFORE REPAIR
The owner of this watch researched on the internet and after reviewing comments, videos, and our repair blog, decided to call and talk with the people he was going to trust his daily companion. It was a very candid conversation in regards to how we would proceed, steps to be taken to repair the watch, parts to be used, cost, and warranty on the work done.
He felt that he was leaving his watch in good hands and decided to move forward with the repair.
The Service of an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak begins here.
Our Swiss-trained watchmakers and jewelers took the job with great passion as usual.
So, the process begins, the movement is removed and completely disassembled down to its bare components.
Parts will be put through a multiple-stage cleaning process that will use three different solutions to wash away broken parts pieces, dirt, and old dried lubricants accumulated through the years.
We will look at all the parts one by one, making sure that they comply to manufacturer’s standards, then reassemble the watch piece by piece, wheel by wheel, screw by screw, and we will apply four different synthetic oils to lubricate the movement and get the watch running perfectly.
One of our Swiss-trained master watchmakers will look into the assembled movement and will replace gaskets to assure water resistance.
At the same time, our bracelet repair team will work their magic with the band and clasp, to make it look as close to brand new as possible. One of our highly experienced jewelers and watch polishers will work to detail the stainless steel band to its original beauty.
Working on these complicated Swiss movements is not an easy task, it requires patience, timing, experience, special tools, and teamwork to make this complete overhaul happen correctly.
Our watchmakers are specialists in Swiss manufactured simple or complicated movements, no job is too large or too small.
They have trained for years getting to know all the parts and how to better correct and prevent malfunctions and regulate the accuracy of timekeeping.
So, while the watch is being polished, the master watchmaker in charge will observe the movement at work.
We, at Gray & Sons, only do this the old-fashioned way of the antique watchmakers, time-consuming, maybe, but we will make sure that it will keep time as it was designed to. The movement will be put together again to start working on the regulation, timekeeping accuracy, power reserve, and synchronization of all the parts involved in this magnificent movement to keep time.
Then the watch will be re-cased, and for the final checks, two specialists, separately, will test the power reserve of the movement manually, will use winding wheels too, and finally will use pressure testing machines to check for leaks on the seals and gaskets recently installed.
The watch is almost ready to be shipped back and as a final stage, we will have another associate check everything all over again with new eyes and have these final tests done once more before we give it back to the happy owner.
Every watch is a different story for sure, always with the same ending that our customers are used to at Gray and Sons Jewelers: excellence in the work we do.
Our customers are our extended family and their recommendations are their way of thanking us for a job well done.

TIP of the day: It is good to know that the most common service call we get at the shop is due to winding the watch while wearing it, which causes an extreme bending force in the crown, stem, and automatic mechanism forcing an unnecessary repair completely out of warranty, and a close second to that one is that while winding it out of the wrist, dropping the watch to the floor, which in case of hard floors would be a disaster.
We always recommend winding the watch on top of a desk, bed, or table.
If you have a watch that is not working as it once did, send it to us . You will be amazed at your “as new looking” watch.

Genuine is exactly what you will get. Each-pre-owned watch that we sell at Gray & Sons has undergone a sophisticated inspection by our master trained technicians. That means that timepieces have been tested inside and out to ensure functionality as well as timekeeping.
