Look up Vintage Watch Services on youtube - very detailed videos of servicing a large number of mechanical watches. Very interesting - though I wouldnā€™t bother watching all of them, there are so many.

I had my Doxa dress watch serviced recently. Went to various watch repairers, and they quoted prices of around Ā£360 and upwards. Went to my usual watch company - Ā£120. Huge difference.
Prices seem to have escalated. About 10 to 15 years ago I sent my watches off to a company in Liverpool - Veals Jewellers - and most services that they did on my watches were about Ā£25 to Ā£50.

Lovely! Iā€™ve lost count of your seiko collectionā€™

I like the simplicity and elegance of that design.

They do indeed. They are my favourite brand. I have 2 - a modern Portofino and a very old one from the 40s, IIRC.

lovely watch- all the previous ones Ive seen have the word Presage on the dial above Automatic

Good the first!Sorry,English is not my language

Please donā€™t apologise! Itā€™s an inherent ambiguity in English and a native speaker would probably have said exactly the same as you did - I certainly would have done.

A wonderful watch! When I bought a perpetual calendar your watch and the IWC Perpetual Calendar 42 were the last two watches in the decision process. I have chosen the IWC but the JLC is as wonderful as the IWC.
The prices for service are really high. I do not know what is the price for the IWC service. I will seeā€¦

wow - how much just for the service?
I have been hunting a master chronograph- inspired by the one a member has shown in this thread - but I assumed a service would be no more than 750 pounds

This one?
