This time, a rather unusual watch was brought in.
Longines flagship.
Longines is generally a watch brand that is not that famous, but
A familiar brand for those who love watches.
Of course there are many masterpieces and good designs,
The cost performance is so high that it even surpasses Omega.
Currently affiliated with the Swatch Group, which also owns Omega, etc.
It seems that the reviews overseas are much higher than in Japan.
This time, I brought it in because the second hand had come off.
When you look at the second hand rolling inside the glass,
Something is stuck in the hakama (hole) where the second hand is attached.
Yes, the barrel of the gear that moves the second hand (probably the 4th wheel) is also broken.
This time, we also replaced the gears as a set.
When I heard the story, it seems that he hit her violently.
The dial is also slightly off.
When I took out the contents, the leg of the dial was broken.
If this is fixed by the manufacturer, it will require an overhaul, replacing the 4th wheel, and replacing the dial.
Is the amount approximately 100,000 yen?
It's not that much different from the price you pay for a watch.
Therefore, the repair at our shop was an overhaul and a number 4 car (which I was lucky enough to have).
Attach the dial using double-sided tape.
As expected, I can't get just the dial,
Even if there were, I think it would be quite expensive,
We will also install the dial within the overhaul fee.
The cost of this repair is...
Overhaul ¥27,500
New finish ¥5,500
4th car replacement ¥8,800
Total ¥41,800
Current manufacturer repairs are performed on the premise of "returning" the product to a new one, so
The repair costs are both high.
Repairs like ours can't return it to new, but
Use usable parts until they break.
After that, I will arrange the parts and fix it.
Therefore, we do not need to replace parts unnecessarily.
Neither is good or bad, but
Is it possible to pay for repairs that are worth the cost of buying a watch?
If asked, most people will buy a new one.
Still, regardless of the price of the watch,
It's fate if you find a watch that you can become attached to.
I hope I can find a watch like that someday!
