  1. would’ve thought the service on a Patek would be much more expensive.

  2. servicing the seiko is $159 – that's almost the price of a new watch

  3. The average patek at retail is somewhere in the neighborhood of 40x the price of a tissot but the service is only 10x.
    That seems like a bargain to me.

  4. I wish there were more movements like the Seiko vh31. It's quartz but has a sweeping seconds hand rather than a ticking hand. If Seiko can do it, why can't anyone else? That's the biggest complaint with quartz watches. Bulova is the only other brand I know with a sweeping quartz movement, but most of their watches don't look that good to me

  5. Exactly the motivation i needed for not collecting too many mechanical watches and control the addiction hahaha

  6. Watch collecting isn't for the faint of heart. My maintenance bill last year was $4700…..and this year isn't looking to be much cheaper.

  7. Jeezz.. now imagine having a seiko and knowing that exact movement costs 30-40$… i mean i be honest, i keep it until it works bad and throw a completely new one inside again afterwards

  8. Teddy, I think you’re a bit off the mark on the range Datejust basic service cost, because I had a GMT Master II serviced, including replacing a couple of damaged parts, for $800, at the RSC.

  9. Usually when you talk to some watchmakers about servicing seiko movements, they would gently suggest throwing the old movement away and install a new one — new seiko movements are about $50, installation and quick ultrasound is about $50. This runs you a lot cheaper than the brand’s service outlet.

  10. So pay all my bills each month or have a single watch .000001% more accurate

  11. When should I service my watch? Recommend service year or when my watch second hand is too slow/fast?
