When replacement makes more sense than service
On a common workhorse movement, a replacement can sometimes cost less and provide a more reliable result than a full overhaul.
When replacement can be smart
Common modern workhorse movements may be economically replaceable when major damage, previous abuse or labor needs make full service poor value.
When service is better
Vintage watches, sentimental watches, uncommon movements and enthusiast pieces may justify preserving the original caliber.
We tell you when replacement is recommended
If replacement is recommended, the customer should know that is the proposed repair. We do not quietly swap movements and call it an overhaul.
