In the USA or Germany? I'd like to know what RGM charges.

I've had repairs done at both RGM and Sinn.
I took a snap shot of my invoices for both but the problem is RGM included multiple parts with the service so it's not accurate.

Thanks Ben. I didn't know you had work done at RGM. I wonder how much of that $674 was the new bezel and crystal. Hopefully a lot, since that seems kind of pricey.

Yeah. The RGM service was for the 156 and they had to get all parts shipped from Germany. So who knows.
Vicki is very nice and I'm sure I could call and ask.

And for the record I tried to request no case refinishing at RGM and they said it won't make a difference in the price, where I said no to it on the EZM1 at Sinn and they took a big chunk of money off.

What does refinishing a Sinn consist of? I always expected it was just sitting the case in a media blasting chamber and hitting it with some crushed pellets, assuming it didn't have any real flaws.

Ahh, the 156. I was about to ask how many times do you need your dial face replaced on your EZM, after I saw it on both bills. Problem solved.

I know some of my little stable are going to be due for service soon.

Philip, I had a service for my 1 at RGM. The parts took a while to get there, but the service was done quickly after that.
Cost: $592 total.

It makes a high dollar Rolex look smarter all the time.

Rolex is always a smart choice. Unless of course the one you want happens to be outside the U.S.

Of course but plenty of them run for decades without a service. Just don't traumatize it.

The Lemania 5100 has a lot of split opinions from watchmakers and repairers on it.

I am also wondering comparatively service cost for 7750 vs 5100. Any of you know other Sinn chronos service fees?

I'm not sure why there is a comparison between service costs between a three handed Rolex and a chronograph, perhaps look at service costs for the Daytona, which in a lot of respects is less functional anyway... :)

The chrono service point is true.
Going the domestic, cheaper route I know jack at iww doesn't work on chronos anymore d/t time.
I don't know who else would for under $500.
