Service for Water-Damaged Watches
At Sangamon Watches Repair Center, we specialize in repairing water-damaged watches, helping you restore your timepiece to full functionality. Water exposure can seriously affect a watch’s movement, case, and overall condition, but with prompt and professional care, we can bring your watch back to life.
What To Do if Your Watch Gets Water-Damaged
If your watch has been exposed to water or moisture, it's crucial to act fast to prevent long-term damage. Here are some immediate steps you should take:
- Remove the Watch: Take off the watch as soon as you notice it’s been exposed to water.
- Don’t Shake It: Shaking or winding your watch can cause water to move deeper into the internal components, causing more damage.
- Avoid Heat: Don’t try to dry your watch using a hairdryer or other heat sources, as this could warp the internal parts.
- Contact a Professional: Bring your watch to a professional repair service as soon as possible for immediate diagnosis and repair.
How We Repair Water-Damaged Watches
Our expert watchmakers use specialized tools and techniques to carefully repair water-damaged watches, including:
- Full Watch Inspection: We begin by assessing the extent of the damage, inspecting the movement, dial, and case for moisture.
- Ultrasonic Cleaning: Water can leave behind corrosion and grime. We use ultrasonic cleaning to remove any water residue from the components.
- Movement Overhaul: If water has affected the internal movement, we will perform a full overhaul, which includes cleaning, oiling, and adjusting all components.
- Crystal and Seal Replacement: If the crystal or seals are damaged, we will replace them to ensure your watch remains watertight in the future.
