Case & Bracelet Refinishing
Satin grain re-cut in the right direction, bevels re-established at the right angle. Lugs stay sharp.
Refinishing is where most damage gets done, usually by someone in a hurry. Factory cases are built from flat planes meeting on sharp lines, and a buffing wheel rounds them in seconds. We work by hand, against the original geometry, and take off as little metal as the job allows, because a rounded lug cannot be put back.
What the work includes
- Satin grain re-cut in the original direction
- Mirror bevels re-established at their proper angle
- Minimum metal removal, assessed case by case
- Bracelet links and clasp refinished individually
- Deep marks discussed with you before anything is touched
On a vintage or collectible piece we will often recommend leaving it alone. Honest wear is worth more than a fresh finish.
