Matt Williams: Watch Refinisher

started refinishing watches when I was 17 years old in an apprenticeship at Leo Hamel’s, working with Rolex watchmakers. My passion is to take watches that are scratched and dull from wear and painstakingly restore the original factory finish to the metal, one link at a time, making the watch look new again. Over the past 16 years, I’ve refinished over 25,000 Swiss-made watches, the majority of those being Rolex. All of the preowned watches for sale at Leo’s have been expertly refinished by me to look like new again. It’s also exciting to see a customer’s surprise about how I’ve transformed their own fine Swiss watches. Bring your watch into Leo’s now and let me work my magic!

STEPS IN REFINISHING: 1) Remove movement and examine gaskets to check water resistance 2) Check all pins, screws and rivets 3) Expert techniques used to restore all high polish and satin finishes while ensuring shape integrity 4) Ultrasonic and steam cleaning 5) Clasp adjustment Expires November 2, 2013
