shootersimms Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Hey guys just wondering what the range is on cost for some of these movements. In specific I am about to order an asia 2836... Just wondering and I did try searching.. I know that vac and MD2020 both service a lot of watches in the forums. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paneristi_man Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 I know it varies, I had mine done for about USD80. There are a number of folks in this forum that can help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Why would you spend what closely approaches the cost of a new rep to service an old one...??...Just buy another watch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masmannan Posted July 26, 2013 Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 It's like my mum. When she gets old, I'll chuck her out and get myself a new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootersimms Posted July 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2013 Different strokes for different folks! Spending around 300 on a watch you know you like and having serviced for around 80 works for me. But that not be the case with what I have...just trying to get an estimate in my head.

alterego Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I'd say you repair or service that watch you really love. I can see the point of not spending a fortune if you can buy a new rep watch for alittle more, but sometimes that watch is not available anymore. On the other hand, I think spending $ 100 servicing an ETA iwatch s not that out of consideration, since the same service would cost you $ 200 or more if the watch is a gen like a Longines, Omega or the like.

I agree. Almost all reps are going to need serviced at some point in time. Some sooner than others, but if you keep replacing them when they fail it won't be long until you've spent way more than the cost of servicing.
