chrisorros Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Long story short my wife has a watch her mother left her many years ago. It's a wind up watch that the crown is very stiff to remove to set the time. The watch needs a good service/ repair. Servicing a wind up watch/repair is passed my pay grade. Is there anyone on here i can send it to do the job. Pictures below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I bought a complete movement like this from Ebay for a customer's watch for about £14! I only needed the mainspring and barrell, job done in 5 minutes. Might be worth a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Posted November 19, 2018 Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 I'm no longer doing mechanical watches Mick. to time consuming for me. I can make more with the time spent in other areas now. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest Cobbler Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 Last time I asked, Jevon & Stanley said they didn't do mechanical watches. Has that changed then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike at Vauxhall Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Stopped doing mechanical watches about 5 years ago, too much grief, one of my better decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
