A typical watch overhaul includes...

First the movement is removed from the case and both are examined for any defects. The dial and hands are removed for examining that side of the movement for rust and any other needs.  In the next stage, the movement is carefully disassembled, constantly checking all of the parts. All of the component parts are placed in an ultrasonic cleaning machine containing a special solution. After cleaning and drying, the movement is reassembled, oiled and electronically timed for accuracy.  The movement is then placed into the case, which has been polished, as well as the bracelet should there be one.  If it is a self-winding (automatic) watch, the final check happens on a special machine called a cyclotest, which simulates the watch being worn on the wrist. It is tested on this machine for 48 hours.
