Complete Overhaul REPAIR & SERVICE
Hublot MDM
Gray & Sons Jewelers, located in Miami Beach, Florida is an independent watch service center, repairing Hublot MDM watches since 1980.

The Hublot watch manufacturing company has been an established brand for about as long as Gray and Sons Jewelers has been in the business of pre-owned watches and jewelry. Since its first official debut in 1980, the company has expanded and grown a large audience of timepiece enthusiasts who enjoy industrialized timepieces.
In French, the word Hublot translates to “Porthole”. The company name came from the design of the first-ever Hublot which resembled the shape of a Porthole. This was a different take on watchmaking - a perspective Hublot stuck with throughout the entirety of its inventory. Something that is reflected in the Hublot MDM model collection .
In a time when luxury swiss watches couldn't have even been imagined on a rubber strap, Hublot decided to design a watch with both fine metals and rubber components.

Gray & Sons - Top Watch Repair Service Center For High Caliber Watches
This watch came from someone who sold their Hublot MDM to Gray and Sons Jewelers. Although this watch was keeping good time and not running too fast nor too slow, it had some obvious signs of wear we needed to get rid of before trying to re-sell it. Factories recommend one service automatic watches every 3-5 years to upkeep the quality of the watch’s timekeeping.
This watch also had some surface scratches around the case that needed to be buffed out. Every watch that is purchased at Gray and Sons Jewelers comes with a 12-month warranty and a like-new-for-life policy; meaning we’ll clean and polish the outside of the watch once a year as long as the owner of the watch has it serviced with us every 3-5 years.
First things first, we open the case back of the watch and look for any rusted or damaged parts that need sourcing. In this case, the movement was in good condition, it just needed some cleaning and lubrication. Once we’ve diagnosed the problem on the watch and know what extra watch parts are needed, our watchmaker takes apart the watch piece by piece and prepares it for cleaning.

The watch movement, crystal , and watch stem are separated from the head and bracelet . The case and bracelet are given to our head polisher while our watchmakers begin working on the movement. Piece by piece, our watchmaker begins dismantling the watch’s mechanism and evaluating every piece.
Once the watch parts that need sourcing are identified, our watchmaker prepares the timepiece’s wheels, springs, pivots, the mainspring, barrel, and plates to be cleaned and sources the parts that are needed. We use six different cleaning solutions in an ultrasonic machine to make sure all dirt, dust, and dried oils are extracted from every crevice within the watch parts.
Once the watch parts are cleaned, the watchmaker starts to reassemble the movement while adding lubricants wherever designated and replacing all the gaskets for water resistance.
This tedious process usually takes anywhere from two to five hours per watch! Of course, assuming the watchmaker isn’t interrupted and all parts continue functioning.
While Gray and Sons’ watchmaker worked on the movement, we had our polisher give this watch a light polish around the case to remove the minor scratches. He then put the case in our ultrasonic machine for a bath and finally to rinse and dry.
Once our watchmaker puts together the movement and re-cases the watch, it's time for the final steps of our repair process. Prior to returning the client their watch, we must execute a final quality control process to assure the watch is running as accurately as possible.
In this quality control, we measure the watch’s amplitude using special machines that listen to the heartbeat of the watch. We also test the watch’s water resistance with a machine that simulates a deep plunge using air pressure to check for leaks.
Additionally, we check that all complications are functioning fully; in this case the hour, minute, seconds, and date. If both amplitude and water tests pass, the watch gets put on our winding wheel for observation where it rotates and mimics the movement of the wrist for 6-8 hours.
The watch must then rest and run for the next 20-30 hours.
With this machine, we can analyze the power reserve on the watch and make sure the automatic is providing power up to par from 24 - 36 hours. Our complete restoration process can take up to 8 weeks.
