The internal mechanics of a high-end watch are incredibly intricate, often consisting of hundreds of microscopic parts working in perfect harmony. Over time, the specialized lubricants that keep these components moving smoothly can dry out or become contaminated by microscopic dust particles. This friction leads to wear on the delicate gears and can eventually cause the movement to lose accuracy or stop entirely. We can recommend a professional cleaning and servicing schedule for your timepiece to ensure the longevity of your watch.
When you seek watch repair, you are looking for more than a quick fix. You are looking for a comprehensive diagnostic process. Our master technicians begin every service with a thorough inspection of the case, crystal, and movement. We meticulously disassemble the watch to clean each component in specialized ultrasonic baths. Once cleaned, the movement is reassembled and lubricated with the precise oils specified by the manufacturer.
Why Trust Mountz Jewelers for Pre-Owned Timepieces
The market for pre-owned watches in Pennsylvania has grown significantly, offering an opportunity to own iconic models that may no longer be in production. However, navigating the secondary market requires a high level of trust and verification. A timepiece sold by Mountz Jewelers means that the watch has undergone a rigorous authentication process to ensure every component, from the dial to the internal escapement, is genuine and functioning according to the original manufacturer’s specifications.
Many sources of pre-owned watches include counterfeit, after-market, or mis-matched parts that can affect the function of the timepiece or limit future access to service. Mountz Jewelers' commitment to sell only timepieces with genuine and correct parts allows our clients to shop with total confidence, knowing that their "new" pre-owned watch is an authentic piece of horological excellence.
Water Resistance and Environmental Care
One of the most common misconceptions about luxury watches is the definition of water resistance. A watch marked as resistant to thirty meters is generally only splash-proof and should not be submerged in a pool or worn during a shower. The gaskets and seals that provide this protection are made of rubber or synthetic materials that can degrade over time due to exposure to salt water, chlorine, or even extreme temperature changes. At Mountz Jewelers, our sales team can assist in matching you with a luxury timepiece that can withstand your level of activity.
If you enjoy an active lifestyle, it is vital to have your watch’s water resistance tested. Our service department utilizes state-of-the-art pressure testing equipment to ensure your timepiece remains sealed against the elements. Beyond water, owners should be mindful of magnetic fields from electronic devices like smartphones and speakers, which can magnetize the hairspring and cause the watch to run erratically. If you notice a sudden change in your watch's timing, our team can de-magnetize the movement and restore its rhythmic heartbeat.
