I requested a repair after a long time, 7 years since I purchased it.
It was said that it no longer worked, so we performed thorough maintenance.
Cartier Tank Louis Cartier overhaul.
This time I couldn't wind the mainspring even though I tried winding it by hand.
And since it hasn't been maintained for a while,
Including overhaul and mainspring replacement,
We also did light polishing and belt replacement.
We recommend overhauling mechanical watches once every three years if possible.
Unlike cars and motorcycles, if there is no visible malfunction, it is not life-threatening.
Therefore, there are few people who request maintenance once every three years.
Early repair is recommended to prevent major repairs.
This time
Overhaul ¥16,500
Mainspring replacement (used) ¥6,600
Belt replacement ¥6,600
have become.
The light polishing was done because it was a solid gold material, so it was a light finish.
Nowadays, the cost of parts is skyrocketing regardless of the brand, so
If you have the parts on hand, the cost will be a little lower, but
In the future, parts replacement costs will be higher than before.
To avoid such high repair costs,
After all, early overhaul is essential.
In order to use your precious watch for a long time,
Please be sure not to miss regular maintenance!
