Hi guys not sure if this is the right section, if not i apologize However i bought a heuer 1553n and its in need of a service pretty bad. Anyone know who i can send it to that has the experience and parts required to fix it Thanks
im located in canada the US would probably be easier, any idea what a service usually costs? or maybe craigs contact info so i could ask him i appreciate the help!
John Bouwman is in Burlington and has the capabilities. Look up John Bouwman Clockmaker. I just finished a full service on a Autavia with the Cal 12, but I am in France so probably not your first choice.
the pusher might need replacing and it needs a chrono hand alignment but im hoping just a clean and adjustment. hard to say without it being open. are they still in business? i tryed contacting them but no answer
costs are going to depend on what needs doing. Without any 'non-standard' work you should be looking at around $ 250, but this really is just a very rough quide and can vary widely depending on a number of factors (who the watchmaker is, what exactly is being covered in the service etc etc). If you need replacements like pushers its not so easy. I collect Heuer and would say that replacements can be tricky to source, although they are out there. There is certainly a far different supply source than the likes of Rolex and Omega. Enjoy your buy. Its a nice model.
You are right hopefully its just a cleaning. The pusher is intact but requires some extra force to engage, Hoping it pays off took a gamble with the service needed. Read some reviews about john bouwman heard good and bad
