Sharp lines and a beautifully even finish

Our in-house polisher has carefully refinished this Rolex case back, preserving its crisp definition and bringing out the contrast between the brushed surfaces and polished edges. A close-up look at the care and skill behind quality watch finishing.

This watch went for a swim and came back with more rust than a submarine that’s been forgotten at the bottom of the ocean.

Our testing equipment can check from −0.75 bar vacuum up to 125 bar—deep-sea diving territory. Interstellar travel too, probably. We’re just waiting for NASA to drop off a watch.

Have your timepiece checked before summer. Our equipment tests to the watch’s specifications, so yours doesn’t have to learn the hard way what “water resistant” means.

Every spring in a watch movement has a job. This one appears to have resigned, gone rogue, and taken up residence on a post that definitely wasn’t hiring.

We can only assume someone found a spare part somewhere and thought, “I’ll add it here for safekeeping.” A bold strategy. The watchmaker’s now playing Where’s Wally? — except Wally is a tiny spring, and the prize is finding out what it was supposed to do in a movement it’s not supposed to be in.

There’s a reason watchmakers study their trade. Watch movements aren’t a game of musical chairs, and “that looks like a good spot” isn’t a recognised repair technique.

Even with the dial out of sight, there’s no mistaking the beauty.

A close look inside this Rolex quartz movement reveals beautifully finished bridges, ruby jewels and gold lettering—details usually hidden beneath the case back.

One of the privileges of being a watchmaker is appreciating the craftsmanship most people never get to see.

Quartz precision. Timeless character. A pleasure to have on the bench.

“It’s just a battery change. How hard can it be?”

Exhibit A.

This component lives tucked away inside a Casio timepiece, where it isn’t readily accessible. Judging by the result, the challenge appears to have been:

“How do I mangle this when I can’t even get to it?” 🤦‍♂️

We admire the determination. The technique… less so.

Despite appearances, this is a precision watch component, not an entry in the miniature origami championships.

A simple battery replacement can become a considerably less simple repair when enthusiasm exceeds expertise.

Please, for the love of all things horological, use a watchmaker. Your watch deserves a fresh battery, not a fight for its life.

A few years on the wrist. Still knows how to shine.

Freshly polished and still on the holder, this older Citizen case back reflects the care behind the finish. Every original line maintained, every edge preserved.

Careful refinishing takes patience, control and respect for the watch’s original shape. The mirror finish is only part of the job.

Precision in every detail.

A reminder before the warmer weather arrives.

This is the inside of a water damaged automatic watch, 6th in the last week. The corrosion you can see can mean extra work and the unnecessary cost of replacing rusted components.

If you plan to wear your watch around water, bring it to A.J. Watch Repairs for a pressure test first. We can check whether it meets its water resistance rating before a leak turns into a much larger repair.

The distinction lies in the details.

In this close-up, a finely lapped brushed surface meets a mirror-polished facet along a crisp, precisely defined edge. This considered interplay of textures gives the case its form, depth, and enduring character.

At A.J. Watch Repairs, every case is refinished with the utmost care and respect for its original design. Each watch is assessed before polishing or lapping, ensuring that restoration preserves the lines, proportions, and subtle details that make it uniquely yours. True craftsmanship is not simply about renewing a watch’s appearance—it is about protecting its integrity and value for years to come.

If your watch case would benefit from expert restoration, contact A.J. Watch Repairs or visit our Canberra workshop. Our watchmakers will be pleased to assess it with the precision and care it deserves.
