WW2 DH WEHRMACHT GERMAN MILITARY ISSUED ARSA


I'm third generation watch repair, my Grandfather was old country Swiss certified. He apprenticed his son, my Father, who then apprenticed me.

...and just so you know.

I DO ALL OF MY OWN REPAIR & RESTORATION WORK, THUS NO MIDDLE MAN IS EVER INVOLVED IN ANY OF MY SALES, SO, IF THE DESCRIPTION SAYS THAT THE ITEM WAS SERVICED THEN PLEASE REST ASSURED THAT IT WAS!

MY DEFINITION OF "SERVICED" MEANS THAT THE MOVEMENT WAS TOTALLY DISSASEMBLED, ULTRASONICALLY CLEANED, AND ALL PARTS SCRUTINIZED.

IT WAS THEN CAREFULLY RE-ASSEMBLED, CONSERVATIVELY LUBRICATED, THOROUGHLY TESTED, CLOSELY MONITORED, AND ADJUSTED IF NEED BE.

I ONLY USE THE HIGHEST QUALITY CLEANING SOLUTIONS AND OILS

I REPLACE THE MAINSPRING EVERY TIME I SERVICE A MOVEMENT

I CLEAN THE DIALS BUT I DO NOT RE-TOUCH THEM

I CLEAN THE HANDS BUT I DO NOT RE-TOUCH THEM

I CLEAN CASES OF GRIME AND DIRT BUT I DO NOT POLISH THEM

I SOMETIMES POLISH CASEBACKS IF MANUFACTURED OF STAINLESS STEEL

I REPLACE BAD CRYSTALS WITH ERA CORRECT SYMPATHETIC SUBSTITUTES

I LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED
