Do you polish cases or service the original movement?

How long does the work take?
Modification work typically takes one to two weeks after the watch and all required parts arrive, depending on the waitlist. Standard SKX refurbishing is estimated at two to three weeks after receipt. Confirm the current estimate before sending your watch.
What should I include in my shipment?
