Who services old quartz watches?

Post by demer03 » Sat Oct 05, 2013 8:46 am

Got the Certina DS-3 and I want to have the crystal replaced and a service done. I know the crystal will likely have to be sandwiched as originals are unobtanium, but I've never had a quartz serviced...

Recommendations?

No one. You put them on ebay and hope some sucker buys it.

You may not want to send that killer Certina overseas, but I was going to send an early Girard Perreqaux quartz watch to this fellow a while back. He repairs mainly electronic and tuning fork movements, but early quartz as well. I wound up selling the watch first, but we conversed and he seemed to be very knowlegeable.
