Recently, the number of people bringing in repairs has been increasing little by little, and we appreciate your request.
When I talk to them, most people say, ``The repair costs are just too expensive.''
Watches don't end once you buy them; they can be used semi-permanently by undergoing regular repairs.
It's the same as buying clothes, wearing them, and then taking care of them by washing and cleaning them.
Although it varies depending on the watch, we recommend overhauling it once every 3 to 5 years.
There will be a short gap of 3 to 5 years, but
I will give you a wide range of periods as it varies depending on the structure and machinery of the watch.
The ``chronograph'' that we received this time has a time measurement function and has a complicated structure.
If possible, I would like them to be overhauled once every three years.
This is the Omega Speedmaster Automatic.
A popular model that is synonymous with men's watches from the 90's to the 2000's.
At that time, it was available for around 200,000 yen.
Many people were buying it, but
If you had a similar watch today, how much would it cost?
However, regardless of the price of the watch, repairs are included.
This time, it seems that it had not been overhauled for over 10 years.
Since it is a clock, it may run well for several years without being overhauled.
When a clock malfunctions, the time is either off or it doesn't work at all.
Unlike cars and motorcycles, it is unlikely to be life-threatening.
However, although the structure of a watch may seem simple, it is surprisingly complex.
The more functions you add, the more complex it becomes.
Lack of maintenance increases the need for parts to be replaced and increases repair costs.
That's why regular overhauls are necessary to prevent major repairs.
The Valjoux Cal.7750 series movement used for this occasion is as of now.
Most of the parts can be arranged, so there is nothing that can't be fixed unless something goes wrong.
However, parts costs are considerably higher than they were a few years ago.
We cannot deny the possibility that it may not be possible to fix it even after several decades.
Well, if that's the case, I think there's some way to do it.
Please request maintenance while you can.
This time…
Overhaul ¥44,000
New finish ¥11,000
Winding wheel replacement ¥11,000
Total ¥66,000
This time, the amount was lower than I expected, but
Just because the parts have been overhauled doesn't mean the parts won't wear out.
Overhaul is something that is done to maintain the current status.
Although it will never be returned to new,
I think this watch was purchased with various thoughts in mind,
Please continue to use it carefully with regular maintenance!
