• Serviced description- What is service and why? (COA)
  Clean oil and adjust.  All vintage mechanical timepieces should have a COA before putting them back into use.
  
  My C.O.A.  Begins with complete disassembly of the watch and movement. Movement parts are cleaned and inspected. High quality horological oils are applied to the correct areas as the watch is reassembled and balance poising, if needed.  A COA includes light polishing of the case, and case back, reinstalling the crystal with the proper tools or adhesives and band installation.
  The watch is then tested and adjusted to ensure good balance, beat, and rate on a watch timer.
  * Note- New to vintage watches? Vintage watches are fully mechanical and even when new do not keep time like modern Quartz watches do. However a vintage watch can be maintained to last for a lifetime.
  Great for collecting or gift giving. A vintage timepiece never goes out of style.

About Finding Time
It all started with my grandfather's watch. When it was given to me, it was in poor shape and broken. I have always been into mechanical things and restoration. I have been restoring classic cars professionally for over two decades. I figured I can fix this watch – how hard can it be?

I learned quickly that I needed to gather more tools, books, and parts. I reached out to Internet forums, gathered lots of information, and found many others with the same passions. I tracked down vintage tools and books, and dove in headfirst. My mission to restore that one watch turned into over 100 rather quickly.

I believe I am just the caretaker of these items for the time being, and to continue down this path I realized I can't hold onto all of them. Therefore, I am willing to pass them along in the effort to continue to find new ones and bring them back to their former glory.
