Post by: kygan711 on November 29, 2014, 04:59:35 AM: I was told by some other members previously when the watch start losing accuracy after 1 week of use then it's a sign of time to service.

Post by: JeepWH on November 30, 2014, 06:23:03 AM: standard full service includes replacement of all gaskets, and mainspring, and also the reverser wheel in automatic watches, (standard practice for Rolex, Omega and others)

How much depends on the brand. Rolex Omega, prepare to pay $$$, for Seiko generally its ard 150 incl. shipping.

Post by: Timeless on November 30, 2014, 02:58:51 PM: I was informed that if the turning sound become loud when u shake the watch (clock's wise 6 swing to 12), then is time to send for service to add oil..

Post by: Cocas on June 08, 2016, 01:54:43 PM: So far i know the cheapest service cost for automatic movement are seiko, miyota, and swiss ETA (non complication).

Post by: asimo on June 08, 2016, 03:08:03 PM: last time i asked about servicing cost (& repair since it stopped working) of my Tissot PRS auto at a shop in Amcorp mall... was quoted almost RM800.. since the watch only cost about Rm2.5K to purchase many years ago..i decided to keep it..
and not repair..

i think the servicing of manual winding watches are cheaper

Post by: eugenio on April 05, 2019, 12:24:27 PM: If you want a reliable watch fixer, try Wah Foong at Jln Raja Laut and look for Steven. Pretty honest guy.

Post by: raistlin on May 11, 2019, 07:07:00 PM: Hi

I would appreciate any recommendations for 7s26 seikos and vintage citizen Seiko calibers like 8110 and 6139s.

I have a couple of bad experiences with watch repairers so I hope I can at least get an honest one. One of mine swapped parts and I called him out on it. When I asked what's wrong he said everything is perfect and it turned out it was gaining 4s per hour.

Thank you.
