Hello all,

I am new to this community so I appoligize if I am asking somewhat stupid questions... 🤔

My dad past away and I found out he owned a Speedmaster Moonwatch with the Straight Writing case (145.022-69).
Everything seems to be original including the 1039/516 bracelet. It is not in working condition as i suspect it has a broken winding spring.

I live in Quebec city (Canada); I was wondering if you had any recommendations to where I could have it Serviced near Montreal. I dont want to send it to Omega as I want to preserve its vintage look as possible.

Many thanks !

Are you willing to ship the watch to a watchmaker in the U.S.? If so, that will widen the field of possible choices considerably.

Here are some pics.....

I am not closed to the idea of sending it to the USA for Servicing; but it would be at least 40% more expensive considering the current CAD/USD exchange rate

Lucky for you the watchmaker and member here @Archer is in Canada. Here's a thread where he respond:

Watch back from Archer Watches!! Thank You | Omega Forums

PM him and I'm sure you can figure out something....

You should try calling Bijouterie Dominic in Mtl. He is an authorized Omega watchmaker + an AD. I've always had excellent service with him.

Talk to Marco or his nephew.

😀

Hey! I'm useful for once!

It's funny.....

I actually spoke to Marco this morning and was quite confident based on our discussions. I am planning to stop by in the next few days to discuss further with him. Looks promising.

Thanks for the heads up 😀

Really nice watch. The markers look all intact and it stinks of originality! The movement looks wonderful. Get a new crystal and a service and your all set!

Beautiful watch. It looks like it took a big impact between the 12 and 1 o clock position.. perhaps what cause the watch stopping? If you can get Archer Watches to take the watch in for service you will be in very good hands indeed.

I mean, I sent mine to Archer.

All original, 1039/516, before the straight writing, though. No writing at all, actually.

Je vais en prendre soin c'est certain; elle restera dans la famille comme souvenir. Mon fils qui est un fan des montres est un peu jaloux... 😟
Mais il devra attendre.... c'est à moi d'en profiter maintenant 😉

Anyone heard about "Time Merchants" in Montreal ? (Owner Cristian Fatu)

+1 for Archer. His workmanship and attention to detail are second to none.
