Gray & Sons - Top Watch Repair Service Center For High Caliber Breitling WatchesGray & Sons gives an overhaul & detail to every watch bought from the public. This is to ensure that when this watch finds a new wrist to call home it is looking and running like a brand-new watch.
Whenever we run into watches like these, our procedure is to treat the watch as if it had never been serviced. Factories recommend everyone service automatic watches every 3-5 years to upkeep the quality of the watch’s timekeeping.
Many have been curious to get a full breakdown of what exactly happens to a watch in an overhaul and detail. When we service a watch, it includes the dismantling and servicing of the watch’s inner mechanism along with cleaning and polishing of the watch’s outer case, bracelet, and buckle. Sounds simple when said like this, however, servicing a watch is an extremely long and tedious process.
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 need of some cleaning and re-lubricating and the external watch case had minor scratches to be polished out.
Once we’ve evaluated the watch and know if and what extra watch parts are needed, our watchmaker takes apart the watch piece by piece and prepares it for overhauling.
The watch movement, crystal , and watch stem are separated from the case and bracelet. The case, link bracelet, and buckle 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 screws, springs, pivots, 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 pass in the polishing wheel to remove the surface 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 ensure the watch is running as new 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 minute hand, hour hand, day and month wheels, date hand, chronograph, and seconds subdial. If both timekeeping 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 24-48 hours keeping accurate time. We do this to ensure that the power reserve on the watch lasts and actually acquired power when moving around.
Also, with this machine, we can analyze the durability of the watch and make sure the movement is functioning and not startled by any natural jagged movements of the wrist. Our complete restoration process can take up to 8 weeks.
