This particular work order took over a year to fully complete, with the watch being sent back three times for all the work to be done properly. I do understand that this was harder project given that it’s a vintage Russian movement, but I can’t tell you enough how much it meant that you searched all over Russia/Ukraine for the parts needed to complete the work. The watch is running absolutely amazing and can’t believe how good it is running. It’s truly a centerpiece to my vintage watch collection and I absolutely love it. Thanks again for all the hard work and time you put into it and that’s what prompted this message. I do believe in acknowledging hard work and this is truly wonderful. Thank you again and keep up the good work.

Sent my automatic watch to these folks for repair as it was no longer keeping accurate time, they assessed the watch for needed repairs and sent me the estimate which I approved.
About three weeks later I received a email stating that my watch had shipped, they provide a tracking number that I might keep a track of it, upon receiving the watch I inspected it and have to say that they did a beautiful job on the exterior cleaning and polish plus they replaced the clasp, I can only assume that the work done to the movement is of equal quality and detail this will be born out over time as I see how the accuracy is.
They also provided the pressure test ticket in the return package.
I would recommend this company if you have need of jewelry repair.

There are several things to consider about when sending in your mechanical watch to be serviced: if you watch is on time, the age of your watch, and the last time you had your watch serviced. Over a certain period of time, your watch needs to have a complete disassembly and overhaul to give your mechanical watch the proper care that it needs. Cleaning and lubrication is necessary and key for having your watch is operating accurately.
At My Jewelry Repair, our team of Master Craftsmen have over 20 years of experience bringing timepieces back to their former glory, no matter how simple or complicated your timepiece may be.

Professional Parts Sourcing Team
Genuine parts, especially for rare vintage watches, can be a challenge, but our long history within the industry has given us access to great sources around the globe. Even if the parts are no longer available, our certified watchmakers can manufacture some parts if needed.
Automatic watches, also known as “self-winding,” wind itself while worn on the wrist. Automatic movement watches are also a mechanical caliber, but the distinction of an automatic movement watch is that it does not need manual winding as it winds itself without a battery.
These types of movements are self-winding due to having a type of rotor that keeps the mainspring moving. The presence of this rotor also tends to make the watch itself heavier. The one drawback is that if you don’t wear an automatic watch for a prolonged period of time, the watch might need servicing as it depends on the motion of the watch wearer.
There are also specific types of automatic watches that can be hand-wound. Not every type of automatic watch has this capability, but generally after you hand-wind the watch once, it’ll be back to normal.
What is the difference between an Automatic Mechanical and Manual Wind Up Watch Movement?
One of the key differences between Automatic (Kinetic) Mechanical Watches and Mechanical Wind Up (Manual) Watches and is that Wind Up Watches do not have the presence of the self-winding rotor. To learn more about this concept look into the Types of Watch Movements.
There are other Watch Movement Repair Services that include the other types of movements such as:

Cracked Your Automatic Mechanical Watch's Crystal?
You May Need Watch Movement Servicing With a Cracked Crystal
In some cases, when a watch crystal is shattered, it is important to check on the watch movement since microscopic glass or sapphire particles can get into the movement causing damage. This can cause the need for watch movement servicing, and potentially replacement of movement parts.
How Does Automatic Mechanical Watch Movement Repair Service Work?
The Watch Movement Repair Service depends on the type of watch movement that your watch has. Watches need to be serviced on a regular basis, just like a car would. All you would need to do is send in your living heirloom of a watch and we make sure it gets the proper care, like lubrication and complete disassembling to prevent wear and tear.
Print your shipping label and order slip. Choose your insurance, pack your repair(s). My Jewelry Repair provides step-by-step instructions for safe packaging and travel. All you have to do from there is schedule USPS courier pickup if you don’t want to leave your home, or drop-off (with your nearest USPS location). Tracking included for safe arrival and transparency.
How Can I Tell What Type of Watch Movement I Have? Is Mine Kinetic?
There are several giveaways to identify what type of Watch Movement that your watch has. One of the easiest ways is to check the text on the back of the case or on the dial; what you can look for is the caliber number engraved within this text. You can either identify the type of movement by the knowledge of how often you wind your watch, or observing the actual movement of the watch hands. If you find yourself winding your watch on the daily, you most likely have a manual mechanical watch movement.
If you have trouble identifying the type of watch you have and need it serviced, our Certified Watchmakers will be able to do that for you with no problem.
Does My Automatic Mechanical Watch Movement Type Need To Be Serviced?
It is recommended that your watch should be serviced every three to five years, also depending on how long the watch has been with or without the wearer's wrist. If you hear rattling when you lightly shake it or the timing of the movement is slightly off, these may be signs to get your watch serviced.
Remember, not all watches require repair, but all watches require routine care and maintenance.
How Much Does Automatic Watch Movement Repair Cost?
It all depends on what your watch needs. Repairs such as a crystal replacement can get a little complicated depending if it's cracked, or shattered and glass fragments have damaged the movement. The chart below gives some insight to the most common types of watch repair services.
