·Is servicing that expensive in the States nowadays?
I would have thought a basic service should be $300-$500 - plus any movt. parts of course.
However, the OP will definitely need a new crystal and crown - so that will add a bit.
@elee530 - just instruct your watch maker on 2 things:
Clean the dial with nothing more than an angel’s breath.
No polishing of the case - just a light rub with a jeweller’s cloth at most.
You’re right actually. I’m in the UK and was just converting what I pay in GBP to USD, but I may have been high.
In the UK I’d say I pay around £220-400 for a watchmaker without a parts account where any parts are in addition to the price and often had to find.
For a good watchmaker with a manufacturer parts account, where may parts are included in the price, I’d say it’s around £500-750 at the e top end.
So that’s $300-1000.
