Restoration Project

[Humble]

Hi All,

I've this Nautica watch that is of great sentimental values to me. Its in a battered condition, scratches on casing, glass flawed and etc.

Is there any shop that i can bring to overhaul the whole watch? if possible, upgrade the mineral to sapphire, leather strap to deployment buckle

Been with me for the past 6 years and hoping to keep it for as long as possible.

Try Top Hour at Lucky Plaza #01-50. The uncle might give you advice if he cannot fix it. Himself is an ex-employee of SRC.

Bro, you can try JW watches too! Very reasonable pricing and worth the wait.

Cheers!

[relic.sinner]

how did it go ?

btw how much did they quote you for ?

I went to this random shop @ toa payoh over the weekend jus to ask for a quotation as i am looking are restoring an old omega deville quartz (not too sure if it is worth it), the lady just took a glance and said min $180 ... i was like wtf .. and walked out. How was your experience with the shops ?

Cheers

I find that 180bucks for restoration is reasonable leh.

Hey, don't forget that it has immense sentimental value. Just don't bang it around further when you got it back : )

Just booked in to JW!

Price wise, not too sure... just pay a deposit and ask them to do whatever they can... polish, folding buckle and change to sapphire... strap wise they cant offer one that wraps the circular dial like the original one does. Might have to head back to dealer for that...

Both the boss and his gal were like u sure u wanna do it cause the cost will be more than the watch itself...
