A partial watch repair consists of only repairing a specific part of the watch, usually consisting of crystal replacements, stem and crown replacement, battery, gasket, resealing or resetting the hands, etc. Over time watch movements dry up inside and parts can wear out and break.

An overhaul / cleaning consist of:
- Complete disassembly of movement

- Movement is cleaned with the finest cleaning solutions available
- Polish Watch case and band
- Replace gaskets
- Water test water-resistant watches
