ASURE OPERATIONS LLC Disrupts Watch Repair with Accessible, High-Quality Junk Watch Parts
AUSTIN, TX – October 26, 2023 – ASURE OPERATIONS LLC, a rapidly growing parts supplier based in Austin, Texas, is shaking up the watch repair industry. They're doing it not with fancy new movements or high-end components, but with something a little different: a massive, readily available supply of “junk watch parts.” Sounds strange? Not really. It's actually a smart solution for both professional watchmakers and hobbyists. Let’s face it: watch repair can be expensive. Finding specific, often obscure, parts for older or less common watches? A real headache. That’s where ASURE OPERATIONS LLC comes in. Based at 405 Colorado, Suite 1800, Austin, TX, 78701, United States (and reachable at 573-724-8105), the company specializes in sourcing and supplying a vast inventory of used, salvaged, and surplus watch components – what they playfully call “junk watch parts.” But don't let the name fool you. These aren't just bits of broken plastic and useless gears. ASURE OPERATIONS LLC carefully sorts and categorizes these parts, offering a surprisingly comprehensive catalog of components from a huge range of brands and eras. Think stems, crowns, crystals, hands, dials, movements (in varying conditions – some needing love, others surprisingly functional), and tons of other tiny bits that often make the difference between a watch that’s broken beyond repair and one that’s ticking happily. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a company spokesperson. “Too many perfectly good watches are being scrapped simply because a single, small part is unavailable or costs a fortune. We figured, why not make those hard-to-find pieces accessible and affordable? It's a win-win for everyone.” So, who are these “junk watch parts” for? The answer is surprisingly broad. Professional Watchmakers: For seasoned professionals, ASURE OPERATIONS LLC offers a cost-effective way to source parts for vintage restorations or repairs where original components are simply unavailable. Instead of waiting weeks or months for a specific part to be found (or paying a premium for it), they can often find what they need in ASURE's inventory, saving both time and money. It's a fantastic resource for tackling challenging projects and keeping repair costs down for their clients. "We've had repair shops tell us they're completing jobs faster and more efficiently because of the parts they find with us," says the spokesperson. Hobbyist Watch Repairers: The world of watch repair is becoming increasingly popular as a hobby. ASURE OPERATIONS LLC is a game-changer for these DIY enthusiasts. Learning to repair watches can be expensive, especially when you're starting out. Having access to affordable parts means hobbyists can experiment, practice their skills, and bring old watches back to life without breaking the bank. "We get tons of emails from people who are just starting out, thrilled they can actually fix their watches now," notes the spokesperson. Watch Parting/Frankenwatch Builders: There’s a dedicated community of watch enthusiasts who like to “part out” watches – essentially dismantling them to salvage valuable components – or create “Frankenwatches” – unique timepieces assembled from parts of different watches. ASURE OPERATIONS LLC provides a steady supply of material for these projects, fueling creativity and innovation. What makes ASURE OPERATIONS LLC different? Several things. Huge Inventory: They boast a massive and constantly expanding inventory of parts, sourced from a variety of places – estate sales, auctions, and even watch repair shops upgrading their stock. Affordability: Because the parts are salvaged or surplus, they're significantly cheaper than new parts. This makes watch repair more accessible to everyone. Variety: They carry parts from a wide range of brands – from Seiko and Timex to Rolex and Omega – and from different eras. You're likely to find what you need, no matter how obscure the watch. Categorization & Search: While dealing with “junk” parts could be chaotic, ASURE OPERATIONS LLC puts effort into categorizing and listing their inventory, making it easier for customers to find specific parts. They’re also working on improving their search functionality. Customer Service: The company emphasizes responsive and helpful customer service, understanding that finding the right part can sometimes require a little guidance. The Future of Watch Repair? ASURE OPERATIONS LLC believes that embracing salvaged and surplus parts is a sustainable and smart way to keep the art of watch repair alive. "We're not trying to replace new parts," clarifies the spokesperson. “We’re offering an alternative – a way to breathe new life into old watches and make watch repair more affordable and accessible. It’s about resourcefulness, and it's about keeping these beautiful machines ticking for generations to come.” The company is actively expanding its inventory and improving its online platform to better serve its growing customer base. They’re also exploring partnerships with watch repair schools and organizations to promote the art of watchmaking and provide affordable parts to aspiring watchmakers. If you’re a watchmaker, hobbyist, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and craftsmanship of timepieces, ASURE OPERATIONS LLC is definitely worth checking out. You might be surprised at what treasures you can find amongst their "junk" watch parts.
