A Beach Day Gone Wrong
“So I went to the beach with my Richard Mille. A $200,000 watch—and ended up going in the water. It was a hot day. Sucked up a bunch of water,” Mike recalled, still in disbelief.
Richard Mille watches aren’t just watches—they’re highly technical machines, often compared to F1 engines in terms of engineering complexity. Most repair shops wouldn’t even touch a water-damaged Richard Mille. But at Gray and Sons, we don’t shy away from challenges—we welcome them.

An Urgent Flight and a Trusted Name
“As soon as I could, I flew over to Mr. Gray, here at Gray and Sons.”
Time was of the essence. When luxury watches are exposed to moisture—especially intricate models like a Richard Mille—the race begins to prevent irreversible movement damage. Our team immediately went to work.

Expert Repair Beyond Expectations
“After the watch was opened—within two hours. Fixed within two days. Running better than it was before.”
That’s the power of four decades of horological excellence. Our master watchmakers—some of the few in the nation qualified to service Richard Mille watches—diagnosed and treated the issue with precision. The result? A full restoration, without needing to send the watch to Switzerland or endure month-long wait times.
Unmatched Service. Unmatched Craftsmanship.
“I was updated every step of the way. They even stayed after hours till after 9:00PM to get this done.”
This is the level of commitment that has defined Gray and Sons for 45 years. Our team stayed late, communicated constantly, and treated the watch as if it were their own.
“I can't say anything but amazing things about Gray and Sons Jewelers. Now I understand why he's 45 years in the business—best in the business.”

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.
Whenever they need to repair or replace an individual component, our watchmakers use Swiss parts. These components, whenever possible, come from the manufacturer. Sometimes our master watchmakers fabricate and refurbish parts that are not otherwise available to us to purchase from the manufacturer and they come from our sources.
Note: Occasionally, custom leather straps, bands, dials, and stones may be added outside the original manufacturer by the prior owner to upgrade the look of a certified pre-owned watch.
Repaired Watch Return Policy. Once your watch repair or service is complete, we’ll notify you promptly to arrange for its return. We urge you to pick up your watch as soon as possible after receiving this notification. Please note that if a watch remains unclaimed 180 days after we provide written notice of its availability, Gray & Sons will not be held liable for any loss, provided you’ve authorized the repairs or service. Your timely response ensures your treasured timepiece is safely back in your hands.
