Off topic watch chat for the horologists out there

Just a thought, what is the rough magnitude of cost for a service and fixing do you know?

[Bootsy]

Depends on the movement - anywhere between £100-500 gives you an idea

[gridgway]

A mundane question, my other watch stopped working yonks ago, but I'd like to get it fixed. Any recommendations on menders to send it to?
ETA, this is the watch that has stopped working to be clear!

So I've changed my mind. I don't think it's worth spending money on to fix. So if anyone wants it they are welcome to it. Otherwise it'll go in the recycling.

I'll happily post it to anyone that has a use for it.

Cheers
Graham

LOL you are welcome. Although it’s now covered in finger prints in those pics and looks scratched to hell I should have taken some decent ones for you

Do like Mels finger pic though

Not for sale but In for a service.

One of the best condition Porsche Design watches running the Lemania 5100 movement I’ve seen in a long time - stunning condition and has its original box

Just met up with its owner who together with his father is involved in historic racing and is coaching today at Snetterton.
