Watch parts and tools at Tawan Watchcraft

Services

Three services, each at the right level for its purpose

We've designed our services to match the actual condition and needs of a watch — not to push anyone toward the most expensive option.

Our Approach

What happens when you bring us a watch

Every piece that comes in goes through the same initial process regardless of which service it turns out to need. We look at the movement, the case, the crown and seals, and we run the watch on a timing analyser to get a baseline reading. We describe what we observe and suggest a service level — but the final decision is always yours.

If during the work we find something that changes the picture — a worn part that wasn't obvious at first assessment, a seal in worse condition than expected — we stop and contact you. We don't assume approval for additional work.

When the job is done, we run a second timing check and complete a written service note. You leave with both your watch and a record of what was done to it.

01

Initial assessment

We examine the watch and record condition, running rate, and any concerns. This is shared with you before anything proceeds.

02

Service discussion

We recommend the appropriate service level, explain what it involves and what it costs, and wait for your agreement.

03

Careful work

The service is carried out by a trained technician with appropriate tools and materials. No rushing, no shortcuts.

04

Final checks and handover

Timing is re-measured, water resistance tested where applicable, and a service note prepared. Your watch is returned with a clear record.

Light service and check-up

Service 01

Light Service & Check-up

฿7,000

A reassuring once-over for a watch in steady, regular use. We clean the movement where accessible without a full strip-down, lubricate the key friction points, and carry out a gentle timing adjustment if the rate warrants it. We talk through how the piece has been running and explain what we see before starting anything. A friendly option for owners who simply want peace of mind. Often ready within a week or two.

Includes

  • Movement inspection and condition notes
  • Cleaning of accessible components
  • Key-point lubrication
  • Timing analysis before and after
  • Written service note

Best for

  • Watches serviced within the last 4–6 years
  • Watches running slightly off but otherwise well
  • Regular-wear pieces you want peace of mind on

Service 02

Strap, Crown & Seal Care

฿10,600

Practical attention to the parts you interact with most. We fit a fresh strap or adjust bracelet links, ease a stiff or loose crown, and renew gaskets and seals where the design allows and the condition warrants it. Where water resistance testing is appropriate to the case design, we carry it out with dry-air equipment and share the result. A sensible choice for keeping a daily-wear watch comfortable and sound.

Includes

  • Strap or bracelet fitting / link adjustment
  • Crown inspection and ease
  • Gasket renewal where suitable
  • Water resistance pressure test (where applicable)
  • Written service note

Best for

  • Watches with a worn or uncomfortable strap
  • Pieces with a stiff or rattling crown
  • Sport or dive watches before water activities

Service 03

Complete Care Restoration

฿13,600

A thorough, patient restoration for watches that have not been serviced in a long while — covering the movement, case, crystal, and water resistance where appropriate. We disassemble the movement completely, clean every component, replace worn parts as needed, reassemble, and regulate. We keep clear notes throughout and invite you to review progress at key stages. There is no obligation beyond the first assessment. Recommended for a valued timepiece returning to everyday life.

Includes

  • Full movement disassembly and cleaning
  • Full re-lubrication with calibre-appropriate oils
  • Case cleaning and basic finishing
  • Crystal inspection (replacement quoted separately)
  • Full gasket renewal and water resistance test
  • Timing regulation and detailed service record

Best for

  • Watches not serviced for 6+ years
  • Inherited or long-stored timepieces
  • Valued pieces being brought back into daily use
  • Watches with noticeably degraded performance

Across All Services

Standards that apply to every job

Care and security

Watches in our care are stored securely and handled only by the assigned technician. We don't pass work to outside parties without your knowledge.

Client communication

We answer calls and messages within one working day. If something comes up mid-service, you hear from us before anything changes.

Quality measurement

Timing rate is measured with an analyser, not estimated by feel. Water resistance is tested with dry-air equipment, not assumed from a new gasket.

Transparent pricing

Service prices are stated before work begins. Any additional costs — worn parts, sourced components — are quoted and agreed before they are incurred.

Next Step

Not sure which service your watch needs?

Just send a message with a few words about the watch — how it's running, when it was last serviced, what concerns you — and we'll suggest what seems sensible. No charge for the discussion.
