Fair Price to assemble a 6309

[patrick]

I've nearly got all the bits to put together a 6309.There are a few jeweller/watch repairers in the town so I'm going to look around for a price.As I'm not a local I expect the sound of cash registers to sound in their heads.Has anybody had it done in the UK so I can go armed with a fair comparison.Sadly most Spanish artisans have failed to realise they are in crisis :D

Have you thought about using someone off here. Richard Askham for example.

It depends on what has to be done.
Is it only a matter of assembling some parts like dial/hands on the movement ?
Or does it include a full service?

Ah, I see. Is there anyone on here also from Spain who could do the job. Someone like 'Angelo' perhaps he's in Spain?

To be honest. A dial and hands job is not difficult and should take an average watch smith about 30 minutes to do. So maybe get some quotes locally.

Watch smith?

To give you an idea:

If its just assembling, I'll do it for € 20,-- ex shipping.
Including complete overhaul/service it is € 50,--.
This is just for the work. Parts etc not included.

20 euros would sound about right to me.Now if you could only be in Spain :) Sadly their postal system would make you cry.
