    Hello, I’m in search of a ballpark figure for service on triple date moonphase Swiss watches from the 40’s & 50’s.

    FWIW, I recently paid $180 for a full service on this one:

    $180 seems like a very reasonable service price. Looks great

    Sure thing. Wagner Micro Engineering in West Palm Beach. These guys have been in business forever. Third generation of watchmakers. Honest, skilled and reasonably priced.

    It does to me as well. The service also included fixing two of the pushers the month wheel, which constantly got stuck. All this job for $180, at least in this part of the US, is pretty reasonable.
