There's an outfit up near you called Yellowstone Watch Co. I've used them a few times with excellent results. Check them out on the web and consider calling them to discuss. The Chief Dude is a watchmaker named Ken Kotoski.

Thank you! I'll give them a call today. I'm just hoping the fees won't exceed $500 [emoji24]

I just sent my Aqua Terra in to Richter & Phillips in Cincinnati (family connection) and was quoted $450 for a service and light tough up and cleaning. Mine is the same movement as yours - happy to connect you if you'd like.

BTW - most won't tell you the price without looking at it...so be prepared for that.

Hi Nick,

I'll check them out, too. Right now, it's looking like Nesbits, Yellowstone Watch Co, or Richter & Phillips. $450 isn't all that bad!

Yellostone Watch is in Bozeman, so a face-to-face might be possible.

I'll be going to Bozeman next weekend, so I'll definitely run it into the shop to see if I can get a quote. Maybe I'll even just drop it off for a servicing.
