Full Process (In-Depth)

  1. Sourcing & Intake
    Each watch is evaluated on arrival and documented with photos prior to service.
  2. Baseline Readings
    If running, baseline timegrapher readings are recorded before disassembly.
  3. Full Disassembly
    The movement is fully disassembled for inspection and cleaning.
  4. Inspection & Findings
    Wear, damage, missing parts, and prior workmanship issues are identified and documented.
  5. Cleaning
    Components undergo structured pre-cleaning followed by a full mechanical cleaning cycle.
  6. Case & Bracelet Preparation
    The case (and bracelet, when applicable) is cleaned separately—ultrasonic cleaning is used when appropriate.
  7. Reassembly to Specification
    Reassembly follows factory technical documentation when available; correct Moebius lubricants are applied precisely.
  8. Functional Verification
    Key functions are verified (calendar change, chronograph where applicable, winding/setting, seals/gaskets as applicable).
  9. Testing, Stabilization & Regulation
    Performance is recorded and allowed to stabilize. Final regulation typically occurs after 24–48 hours.
  10. Multi-Day Quality Control
    The watch is monitored across multiple days to confirm consistent performance.
  11. Proof & Listing Readiness
    Final timegrapher results and photos/video are captured for documentation prior to sale.

Goal: Consistent restoration standards, documented work, and verified performance—so every watch is delivered as something I stand behind.
