An overhaul for a customer that was requested the other day.
This time, even if you wind it by hand, it will spin freely, so
We also replaced the mainspring.
The Seiko Lord Marvel 36000 is very popular in our store.
This is a masterpiece that I would definitely recommend if you are purchasing your first vintage watch.
This is a historic watch that was the first in the world to mass-produce a high-beat movement.
If you love watches, this is a watch you should own.
Although the watch is known for its high performance,
What supports it is a somewhat special "spring."
It seems that suitable springs are not currently manufactured in Japan,
We stock Swiss-made parts as replacement parts,
This is surprisingly expensive.
It's not easy to get hold of them because they're made in Switzerland.
The parts store won't give me a discount (laughs).
Therefore, when replacing it, we will charge you the actual cost of 22,000 yen.
This is unavoidable as it is a consumable part.
It costs about twice as much as a regular mainspring.
It's not like we're sharing the pain, so we're not covering the actual cost,
We are also unwilling to pay this amount, so we can only charge the actual cost.
There are also such special examples of Japanese-made watches,
If you buy a popular model cheaply,
It is often the case with mechanical items that repair costs can be enormous.
If you are really concerned about cost-effectiveness,
I would recommend buying one that is well maintained and comes with a warranty.
Of course, spring breakage can occur in products we sell, too.
In that case, we will promptly replace the spring.
If the damage is not due to external factors, we will not charge you for the repairs.
That means it is sold with a warranty,
This is a service that cannot be judged solely on price.
This time it was time for an overhaul, so I replaced the mainspring,
Overhaul ¥16,500
Mainspring replacement ¥22,000
Total ￥38,500 including shipping
Now you can use it properly again.
Because it is such a fine watch, I hope you will cherish it and use it for a long time!
