Our Most Common Repairs for Bulova Watches
If your Bulova watch is having problems, or if it’s due for regular maintenance, we can help. At Excel Watch Repair, we can handle all your Bulova watch service requirements. We understand that a watch can have a lot of monetary as well as sentimental value for the wearer. Here are some of the common repairs we perform on Bulova watches:
Crystal Replacement
If the crystal inside your watch is broken , we can replace it with a new one. There are three main materials that crystals come in: acrylic, mineral glass, and synthetic sapphire.
Acrylic crystals are the cheapest, although they scratch easily. They can also crack if they’re hit hard. Thankfully, scratches are easily buffed out. Mineral glass crystals are more scratch-resistant, but are still capable of shattering with enough force. Mineral glass is the most popular material for crystals. Synthetic sapphire is the hardest of the materials and the most difficult to scratch. They’re used by a lot of luxury watch brands. They are durable, but still not completely shatterproof.
Watch Overhaul
Your watch is a sophisticated piece of machinery, like a car. And just like a car, your watch needs maintenance to run at its best. At Excel Watch Repair we can give your watch a complete overhaul and check for minor problems that should be taken care of, before they develop into major and much more costly problems.
Movement Service
The movement lies at the heart of your Bulova watch. We can have your movement professionally oiled and cleaned, as well as look after any damaged parts. We can also manufacture parts to match the originals if necessary. We have many movements in stock, in the event yours needs to be completely replaced.
Battery Replacement
We can replace the battery on your Bulova watch. After replacing the battery, we’ll test the watch to ensure that it still meets its water resistance rating.
Stem and Crown Replacement
Replacing the stem and crown of a watch can be difficult, as they’re often specific to that specific model of watch. At Excel Watch Repair we have the expertise necessary to do this delicate operation correctly.
Clasp and Band Repair
If necessary, we can adjust your watch band so that it better fits your wrist.
Hand Repair
If the hands of your watch have come loose or are damaged, we can replace them.
Dial Refinishing
We can restore the worn, damaged dial on your Bulova watch so that it looks new again.
Check and Repair Seals and Gaskets
At Excel Watch Repair, we can check the seals and gaskets of your water-resistant Bulova watch to make sure they’re working properly. This is important to do every two years, because a malfunctioning seal or gasket could let water into the watch, causing costly damage.
