What the quote includes

The diagnosis, labour, parts and turnaround, line by line. Original or period parts whenever they exist. If opening the watch reveals a broken part, nothing goes ahead without your approval.

Parts and lead times

You choose, I keep you informed.

Two questions before every service. Your answers set the lead time.

Original parts

  • Keep them wherever possibleI repair, or look for a period part, before replacing.
  • Replace faulty partsQuicker: a worn or broken part is changed.

Ordering parts

  • Order if neededI order as soon as you accept the quote.
  • Ask me before ordering anythingI write to you with the part’s price and lead time.

A part can take longer to arrive than the service itself, especially for an older watch. I tell you the supplier’s lead time before ordering.
