How To Know if a Watch Is Worth Fixing

Many people wonder if fixing a watch is worth it, instead of simply buying a brand new one. This blog post is dedicated to answer these questions and enlighten you on what to consider to make sure you make the best informed decision for yourself. That way, you’ll have the peace of mind of having arrived at the best decision for

Some of the key things that should be taken into account, as they will help you arrive at that decision, are how much you fancy your watch (including the emotional value it represents to you), and the condition of the watch you need to fix. Let's go through all of the reasons for it (as well as the possible reasons against it). Ready? Let's go through each of these reasons, one by one, so it’ll all make sense to you by the end of this post.

First of all, if you're reading this blog post, it's because you've already considered the possibility of keeping your timepiece instead of simply deciding to buy a new one. Deep inside, it’s obvious to you that your watch is irreplaceable for some reason, and that despite so many beautiful, brand new watches in the jewelry industry, you know they will never be your watch, simply because your timepiece is one-of-a-kind, unique, and priceless to you. This is especially true if it was a gift and carries some emotional value not only to you, but equally (and sometimes mainly), to the person who gave it to you at some point in time, wanting to express their love and appreciation with a gift.

After all, a gift is a token of love, and they last for generations to come. And you’ll want to keep that living memory going for you in that sense. That, in and of itself, serves to show that your watch is a very loving piece to you - and hence would rather keep it. In that case, you can fix it and make it look brand new, just as it used to look when you first got it. That takes us to the second point raised here: the condition of your watch. Indeed, you need to know if it’s worth fixing your watch, because if there is too much damage, it mig. ht be worth simply replacing it for a brand new one, maybe in a similar design.

In any case, the only way to find out what the best way to proceed is in terms of sorting out what to do with your watch, is to consult with an experienced, reliable jeweler. As an expert, s/he will be able to identify the pros and cons of repairing versus buying a new watch and will thus help you arrive at the decision that you think is the best for you. And if all you need to do is find a trusted jeweler with more than enough ability to bring your piece back to life and to its golden years, if possible, then you got it!
