Please
call our toll free
number at 1-877-WSC-TIME (1-877-972-8463) or email us
for repair mailing authorization and to receive an
estimate. Most of
the times we can give an accurate estimate of the repair cost over the phone.
After
you decide to send your watch to Watch Service Company, you will obtain a free estimate of its repair
cost. You should package it in a shipping container of suitable size. Please do
not send it in its original gift box as our company cannot guarantee the return
of the shipping container. Be sure to cushion the watch with bubble pack and
enclose a cover letter with your name, address, etc. and a brief description of
the repairs you wish performed. See mailing
address.
As
soon as your watch arrives at W.S.C. via insured carrier, the package is opened
and the watch is assigned a numbered job envelope, made out in triplicate,
with all pertinent
information about yourself and the watch . The watch then
goes to our watchmaker who carefully examines the watch to determine its service
requirements. A detailed cost estimate is then made and forwarded to you for approval. If
you do not approve of the estimate, the
watch is immediately returned without any type of charge via Priority Mail
(free shipping too) or via the insured carrier of your choice (UPS or
USPS) upon payment of a postage and insurance charge ($10-$15).
If
the repair is approved, the job begins by completely taking the watch apart,
screw by screw, wheel by wheel, and spring by spring. Every part is examined for
damage and wear. Parts that cannot be repaired are replaced with factory
originals. The watch is then reassembled and lubricated as it is assembled. Most
mechanical watches use a least five different lubricants for various parts of
the mechanism. After the watch is assembled it is tested for several days for
operating efficiency. It is also brought to time and adjusted for position and
isochronism if required. The watch case is cleaned and polished, the crystal
replaced if needed, and the winding button changed as required. The watch is
then placed in the case and run for several more days to assure us that it
is ready for return to the owner.
Water
resistant cases are further tested by subjecting the cases to various pressures
and vacuums to be certain that the case neither leaks in water or leaks out air.
If the watch is found to leak, we pressurize the case to locate the source of
the leak as you would a leaky inner tube from a bicycle tire. All high quality
water resistant watches are resealed before they leave this shop.
If
a quartz or a tuning fork watch is serviced, the circuitry of the watch is
subjected to several tests using the latest equipment available from the Swiss
watch industry. The mechanism of these electronic watches is taken completely
apart and assembled with the same care as a mechanical watch.
Finally,
the watch is ready for shipping. Upon receipt of payment for the service and
shipping, the watch is then returned to the owner via insured carrier. All parts
and labor furnished by Watch Service Company carry a one year warranty from the
time the repair is completed. The Warranty does not cover parts we did not
furnish, collision or water damage, or repairs done by someone other than Watch
Service Company.
