No, North West Horology does not offer dial restoration. Patina is valuable to the originality of a piece, and it can only be original once. Any kind of dial "restoration" usually ends up making a dial look worse than it did before, and then your only option is a re-dial, which causes the piece to lose its originality. We recommend against doing anything to a dial beyond a gentle clean-up.
North West Horology services a wide range of watches, including mechanical manual wind wristwatches, mechanical automatic wristwatches, quartz wristwatches, mechanical manual wind pocket watches, vintage mechanical watches with complications (day/date, power reserve, moon phase), and vintage jump hour watches.
