Overhauling your watch. (Clean and Oil).
We remove the inside of the watch and disassemble the parts. We then place the parts into a 4 cycle cleaning machine that removes dirt, old oils, film, and any debris that may have cause the watch to not work properly. Once the 4 cycle process is completed the technician oils and assembles the watch movements accordingly applying proper amounts of oils and grease as needed. The skill is in how much and where to place the oil and grease. Too much or too little will place too much friction on axial, pinion, gears, and other sensitive components.

Star Time cleans the outside of the watch by place the watch without the inside into an industrial ultrasonic machine that vibrates the dirt off the watch. The watch is placed into the machine that has a cleaning solution. The solution helps loosen and remove the dirt.

Before you start.
1. Make sure the crown is locked.
2. Make sure there are no crakes in the watch.
