As members of the American Watchmakers Institute, we are happy to provide reliable mail-in repair services and FREE ESTIMATES* on the repair of your timepieces – family heirloom and vintage watches included – through our nationwide mail-in service program.  We will not estimate based on digital photos or written descriptions or speculation – that is simply not sound professional watch making protocol.  *Your only commitment up front will be for Registered US Mail return.

We repair mechanical pocket and wristwatches, automatics, date/time/wind indicators, chronographs, Accutrons, electric wristwatches, mechanical car clocks, airplane clocks, and battery operated watches. This includes Hamilton, LeCoultre, Longines, Waltham, Illinois, Elgin, Bulova, Seiko, Rolex, Patek Phillippe, Hampden, Omega, Breitling and Vacheron, just to name a few brands we frequently service. Our rates are extremely competitive. 90% of all repairs or restorations range from $70-$300 plus shipping.

SHIPPING NOTE:  Our research and experience has confirmed that for expensive, delicate, rare, irreplaceable family heirloom watches the most secure/safe method is to use INSURED REGISTERED US MAIL.
NOTE: Seams must be sealed using paper tape only. It takes a couple days longer, it must be specially taped with plain brown paper tape over all seems (for security stamping by postal authorities), and costs a few extra dollars. HOWEVER, this is the most secure method to ship. It is handled with care at all times, signed for at every step of its shipment, and kept locked in security cages when not in transit (often carried in the cab with the driver rather than thrown in the back with other freight).

BILLING AND/OR PAYMENT:
You will be emailed a bill for any service you approve, and $20 for return shipping via Registered US Mail.  Your watch will be shipped promptly upon receipt of your payment.  NOTE:  Our turn-aound time varies greatly based on our current work-load, waiting for parts, etc., expect 4-8 weeks (excluding shipping time).

TO PAY YOUR BILL scroll down to the bottom for ONLINE PAYMENT. 

WATCH CASE RESTORATIONS:
The O'Mara Watch Company also offers full wrist and pocketwatch case restoration services. Dings and scratches can frequently be carefully removed with proper techniques and tools, returning your watch to it's original luster.

DIAL RESTORATIONS:
Make your old watch dial look like new! If your wristwatch dial appears aged or shows sign of water damage or peeling, these painted dials can be resurfaced and repainted at affordable rates. We can even add your name or business logo. New crystal and band fitting will provide that final touch as an optional service we provide.

PROFESSIONAL APPRAISAL OF YOUR WATCH:
Have you documented your watches value with your insurance company? Our professional appraisal service will provide you with a written summary of your watches value, age, and condition to properly support insurance coverage protection or for resale valuation. Appraisal service starts at $45 per watch.
