TIMEPIECE RESTORATIONS
AF SERVICES is proud of the radical restorations we are occasionally called on to perform on heirloom timepieces. We have taken watches with disfigured dials and even rusted movements and restored them to beautiful working order. Restoration at this level is recommended only for special watches of great sentimental or other value, as the work is laborious. But we have often had the pleasure of clients exclaiming in joy over a watch or clock they had thought good only to scrap, being returned to them fully working, restored to its original style, and ready to enjoy.
