Service suggestions for Chronostop

Flashdoc · Oct 2, 2023

Hi

I'm looking for someone to clean/oil an Omega Chronostop. I live 30 miles north of NYC in Westchester county (don't mind an hours drive). Any suggestions?

What's a reasonable charge for this? Someone near me wanted $600 (I probably bought it for well under $200 in 1972). I don't know if that's typical or not.

thanks

$600 seems pretty reasonable to me
Last one I had serviced a few years ago cost more than that

No recommendations for a watch maker to service this near Westchester NY?

A search will uncover many threads with recommendations, but this is an international forum and there are fewer and fewer watchmakers these days. Many people ship watches for service.

$600 isn't a crazy price to service a somewhat complicated watch, IMO.
