Restoring an old watch is a great way to keep a prized possession in good working order. Since watch repair companies tend to get busy at Christmas time as the restored watches are given as gifts, be sure to book your refurbishing early and not leave it to the last minute.
If you are planning on doing your own watch repair be sure to have a clean, flat working space as well as an area that is well light. Since the watch parts are so small fine tweezers as well as covered small containers to hold the various parts and screws you will need to remove are very important to keep track of the small parts.
