Repair and Restoration

Mechanical wristwatch service starts at $150 for normal service including complete disassembly, cleaning, installing new mainspring, oiling, adjusting and timing (no parts included, mainspring additional around $10 to $30). Automatics and chronograph services (Landeron/ Venus/ Valjoux/Lemania (excluded the cal 5100)) are slightly more (no Pierce please). A minimum fee of $75.00 is charged for evaluation and estimate. This fee will be applied to the repair charges when the work is complete but is not refundable if you decide not to proceed with the service. You must pay for insured shipping with tracking both ways. I do repair work on Landeron, Lemania, Universal, Venus and Valjoux based chronographs plus I have an inventory of many parts. I can repair almost any type of mechanical wristwatch. I specialize in the restoration of the LeCoultre Futurematics and have many parts for these also. I have plating equipment and can restore most gold, gold plated and gold filled watch cases. Dial refinishing and glass crystal replacement can be accommodated but this work is sent out to other suppliers. If you contact me with pictures of your watch, I can give you a ballpark estimate at no charge but this estimate will not include parts prices and/or additional work that might be needed once the movement is disassembled. Please note that I consider my estimates proprietary and are not to be shared with anyone else or posted on any websites/forums.

As a personal reference I use the Chronodeco user name on eBay and my feedback speaks for itself. I frequently list restored vintage chronographs and watches for sale on eBay. I can also sent you a list of repair references upon request if you wish. If you want a ball park idea of repair costs, send me a list of the problems you are having with your watch and some close up pictures and I will try to give you a repair cost range.
