Servicing, case repair and make-up of an IWC Da Vinci for second-hand sale with guarantee

Repairs

Before offering a watch for sale, a thorough analysis is made and the necessary repairs are carried out. All our second-hand watches carry a 1-year guarantee.

This IWC Da Vinci was presented to us for second-hand sale. This watch has already got some years on the counter but has been worn as it should. The case has the regular wear damage but also has a bump on the case at the 9 o'clock side. In order to offer this timepiece for sale, it was decided to put the case in perfect order, including the removal of the bump. The interior also needs to be cleaned, new oils applied, and a number of worn parts need to be replaced, including the mainspring.

Before starting to restore the case, the movement will be removed. Our goldsmith will add steel by means of pucks, after which the case will be completely reshaped by grinding, filing and polishing. Not an easy task for this model of case, with perfect surfaces, edges and corners.

From dismantling to the last screw, cleaning, oiling with 6 different kinds of oil, replacing defective and worn parts to reassembling and controlling, ..., the movement was fully maintained and now works perfectly. 

Patience, perseverance and determination are fine qualities of a watchmaker.
