Simple repairs and complex repairs should not be priced the same way
A battery, crystal, crown, quartz movement replacement and full mechanical service consume very different amounts of bench time and parts.
Affordable watches still need economic repair decisions
On a lower-cost quartz or workhorse automatic, movement replacement may be better value than hours of component-level labor.
Vintage and unusual watches need more uncertainty in the estimate
Parts sourcing, prior repairs and hidden corrosion can change the scope after the case is opened.
Why we inspect before final pricing
A generic online price can be misleading when two watches with the same symptom need entirely different work. We prefer a real estimate based on the watch.
Start with the actual watch
Submit the brand, model or reference if known, symptoms, service history and clear photos before shipping. We use that information for a preliminary review. Final diagnosis and pricing require physical inspection.
