    Hi guys;

    As my usual watchmaker continues to be booked solid from his backlog, I once again ask the minds that be for advice: can anyone recommend a watchmaker for a vintage chrono that I may need to have serviced and lightly cleaned, but not otherwise altered? Snagged an unexpected piece recently - no pics yet - but it has what looks like a branded Venus movement, maybe a 188.

    Pics to come asap, but if anyone knows of someone who is reasonable I'm all ears. The watch itself isn't terribly high end so I'll admit cost is a factor, but primarily I think with a little bit of TLC will make a nice addition to my vintage rotation.

    Thanks all! Pics to come, promise!

    We'll need your location.

    It's no good us recommending a watch maker in Australia if you're in France.

    Touche; I forget which sites say and which don't, my fault. America, southern East Coast. I will have to ship however, as I live in a small area with only one solid general watchmaker, and one who does Rolex only.
