Is there any watchmakers in the US willing to repair a vintage Timex?

I have a vintage Timex Mercury Reference 1044 I bought last year for just $10 that needs some repair because it has an overwound mainspring but since vintage Timex movements are notoriously difficult to be repaired, I’m curious if there are watchmakers out there willing to service a late 60s Timex Mercury.

Most will try and talk you out of it.  It would cost a minimum of $150 from the most generous watchmaker in labor.

 

Your best bet is to find a "Working" donor watch with the same movement and just R&R it yourself, or by a modder/friend, or ultimately a real watchmaker IF they would do it.
