Watch Service (Independent)

[IamNew]

Hello all,

Apologies for writing in English. Jeg er sikker på at dette har blitt diskutert før på forumet så vær så snill å peke meg i riktig retning hvis det er tilfellet. I have tried searching and going though the posts but have yet to find a thread on servicing (my swedish is not so good).

I have a 1970s Tudor Prince Oysterdate ( ETA 2484 movement). Kan du anbefale eventuelle uavhengige urmakere i Stockholm / Uppsala området som kunne service denne bevægelsen? I was quoted 6000SEK from an AD in Stockholm. In Ireland, I know recommended watchmakers who would service an ETA movement for about half of that price. Perhaps 6000SEK is the going rate in Sweden?

Regards,
Adrian

Man får vad man betalar för. ADs har kvalitetskrav och byter generellt ut fler delar än random ”independent”.

I understand that, and I don't want a random independent. The price I was referring to in Ireland was for a guy who friends of mine have used and have recommended for many years. It is a standard ETA movement after all.

6000sek service may make sense for a 50000sek+ watch but not a 10000-20000sek watch.

If its just service of the movement and not tracking down hard to find case parts and such im sure we are a bunch of guys in here that can manage that caliber 6000 at AD is no joke i know but considering they are are running a store and buisniess theres not much left of that in the end even if it sounds pretty high to me. Since its a ETA movement (great in many ways) u u really can choose an alternative service instead of AD imho.
