Title: Ball Watch Fireman Racer Classic Repair Cost
Post by: napster on August 06, 2018, 06:48:22 PM

Hello everyone!

I have a Ball Fireman Racer Classic - and one of the hour gas tubes came off and got dislodged between the minute and hour hands... Unfortunately the way the hour gas tube got jammed between the minute and hour hand, it managed to "break" the minute hand. Now that hand is "free-playing"/loose within the watch.  :'( :'( :'( :'(

Anyone had this experience before? Do you know how much it will cost? Will drop by the Ball Service centre one of this days but want to know a good guestimate. Thanks!

P.S. Last time the hour gas tubes came off I dropped by a local watch repair shop and cost me around RM80 to glue back the gas tube

Phew that's a relief!

Although hoping the "free-moving" minute hand isn't too hard a fix...
