Not all watches will require an overhaul, but there are signs that your designer timepiece may be in need of some quality attention. Many luxury pieces, such as Cartier watches can wear over time. They may be keeping time sporadically or running through batteries too quickly, in this case you probably need to get it in for an overhaul. What is a watch overhaul and how expensive is that? These are the question, which we will answer, today:
1. Is your watch starting and stopping without warning? If so, it needs an overhaul.
2. A complete watch overhaul is when an experienced watch repair man disassembles your watch and inspects it for damage and dirty build up.
3. A watch overhaul should only be performed by an authorized service repair professional. Taking your watch to anyone else, will void any warranty on the piece, and could lead to further damage.
4. During the overhaul, your watch's movement will be cleaned, with a solution, which can remove anything that may cause the gears to slow down or jam. If there are any broken components, they will be replaced, a this time. The cost of a Quartz overhaul is between $70.00 and $90.00, but does not include the price of replacement parts.
5. The watch will then be re-calibrated and re-tested for water resistance.
6. Replacement parts can vary in cost, and you should always weigh the price of repair, with the original value, sometimes it is just not cost effective to repair your quartz watches.
