Repair and Restoration

Mechanical wristwatch service starts at $75 for normal service including oiling, adjusting and timing (no disassembly or parts included). Chronograph service (Landeron) starts at $125 and slightly more for other 2 register calibers (no Pierce please). 3 register chronograph service starts at $175. A minimum fee of $50 is charged for evaluation and estimate. This fee will be applied to the repair charges when the work is complete. You must pay for insured shipping 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. Case repair and plating starts at $125. Dial refinishing and glass crystal replacement can be accommodated but this work is sent out to other suppliers.

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. I can be contacted at: chronodeco@charter.net
