I can't really comment about price.
There once was a very nice rep of that watch, but I think it had happy clown feet.
Why not ask him to open the case back and examine the movement?
Oh thanks for clearing that out.
Looks like a fantastic source of information for those into PAMs.
Not likely I'll ever use it, but I will make a small donation (I'm in a very difficult financial situation at the moment) for doing this work for the community.
I once did my own wiring once.
Never again!
I helped my mother out installing a heating system with a fan outdoors.
I don't know anything about electric stuff.
One morning she woke up and it was freezing cold inside and the fan was shut down.
She went out and the cable box looked like melted marshmallows and the wooden panel on the house had caught fire burning all the way up to the roof.
Lucky us the entire ground and roof was covered in snow.
Since that day I never touch stuff I don't know $hit about. (Like women... )
No it doesn't mean you have to service it.
I've had some luck with a few watches that still run great.
But you should be prepared that the movement is a ticking time bomb that needs a service sooner or later.
I don't know if there are any rep friendly watchmakers in the UK.
Perhaps any other could chime in?
Don't use any authorized dealers for a service. Period!
