Your watch may not be the newest technological gem on the market. As many of you know, old watches tend to carry some comfort - or even some sentimental value. When that beloved and dear watch starts to run poorly - or worse yet, not at all, believe it or not, there are many different solutions for ailing watches.

Also, if you are an avid vintage shopper, keep your eyes peeled for watches that are not in working condition. Not only might you score a precious gem of a vintage watch that is worth something - and quite possibly something that is easily repairable.

Common problems that may not be repairable include: rust and water damage. If a watch has rust, there is a possibility that the rusty parts can be replaced. Keep in mind that parts may or may not be expensive to replace. Obviously, if there is sentimental value or if the watch is vintage and worth a substantial amount of money in working condition, it may be worth the investment.

Repairing a watch could be as simple as replacing the battery, though. This is why, before you throw out your trusty old watch that you have been wearing so long, it feels like part of you, check into whether the performance problems are repairable first. BC Custom Jewelry would be happy to help assess the problem if you are experiencing the blues over a poorly performing - or non-working - watch.
