    Swiss Time Services would be your best bet, it won't be cheap but that's more to do with the watch and its movement than anything else.

    Depends what's wrong with it.
    If the chrono module is OK you might find someone willing to work on the ETA base movement only, but as stated before, most watchmakers don't want to know these modular Chrono's.

    I recently detached the Eta movement from the D & D module on a Breitling chrono, for a friend. She had sent the watch to the importer in Canada, twice, for repair, when it proved unreliable. In neither trip back was the repair successful. I replaced the mainspring in the watch movement, and located a problem that either the factory or the importer had missed. A loose screw on the underside of the rotor hub was intermittently dragging on the fourth wheel, stopping the watch. By then, I had the movement off the module, so I did a thorough service on just the movement. This was several months ago, and the watch has performed flawlessly since then with continuous wear. Fortunately, there has been no problem with the chronograph module.

    Good outcome :thumbsup:.

    I'm just glad you didn't use a wide angle lens.

    I'm OK with the snack bars on the desk, but the bare feet made me think of other "nude photographers" we've seen on the webs.

    On the plus side, he doesn't have one of those big yellow Velociraptor style talons growing out of his big toe that many old men get
