Case Restoration

You also have the option of case and bracelet restoration to restore the watch to its original appearance.

The Modern Tag Heuer watch case and bracelets used on models such as Carrera, Kirium, Link and Aquaracer are superbly made but can quickly attract scratches and scuffs through normal wear. After a few years the bracelet starts to look “worn”.

Refinishing of the case and bracelet should only be carried out by the qualified watchmaker. The process involves the skilled use of polishing wheels, mops, brush wheels to achieve the required high quality finish.

Tools used range from miniature hard felts in mini drills right up to large power driven wheels for heavy material removal. PWR also use special machine mounted abrasives to achieve the correct contrasting brushed and highly polished finishes.

Where the case or bracelet has very heavy damage such as deep gouges, it won’t be possible to restore the surface to the same high quality. This would require the removal of a significant amount of surface metal which would result in the loss of the original case and bracelet design. In these cases we have no alternative but to reduce the damage where possible before applying the new brushed or polished finish.
