Case Repair

Case damage almost always requires repair of existing pieces or fabrication of new parts, because replacement parts are generally not available. There are a few exceptions including common dials, bezels or finials, but structural part or surface veneers are just not available from the usual parts sources. Typically, case repair must be followed up with case refinishing.
