Send or bring your watch in for repair
Stories from the workshop. Restoration of Rolex Air King - The new watch was born!
June 2022 - together with friends from BWS we received an invitation to visit one of the most modern, technically assured and experienced watchmaking studios not only in Bulgaria, but in my humble opinion also in the Balkans - that of K&K Time studio.
Kaloyan Stoyanov was very kind to show us the new extension of the atelier, the equipment and the possibilities it has. I saw a lot of things that were new to me, but I was really impressed with the results that modern technology can offer - especially when in the right hands! It was then that an idea began to take shape….
And today, a few months later, I have the pleasure to present to you the stages of the restoration, the result and perhaps the most interesting - the comparison between the "two" watches! Yes, to me these are exactly two different watches, because the differences are mind-blowing, and the new Air King is my new favorite watch. The short list of manipulations:
Laser filling of deep scratches - Restoration of the warped part of the hull - Multiple welding, stripping, polishing, measuring distances and angles - Dial restoration - Servicing the mechanism.
The new watch was born!
