I did find one certified local watchmaker, only one within 100 miles, and they have an eight month backlog of work. $50 for an inspection, $150 for an appraisal, and at least $625 for chronograph service not including any parts. Does this seem reasonable or should I try to find a watchmaker either in Portland or elsewhere via mail? The watch is very sentimental to me but my practical side wonders if the watch is worth investing this kind of money into it? A couple of you mentioned that it may be a caliber 33.3, is this good, bad, or just different when compared to the 320 others had mentioned? Thank you all for your continued input. I will take all the information I can get!
