Longines Ultra Thin Quartz - who should service it?

[tobywatches]

My dad’s watch:

Attachment 18112

Attachment 18114

was speeding up rapidly so my mum took it into the local watchmaker for a new battery.

Since then it’s still not right and is losing or gaining time drastically.

It’s not been serviced for quite some time and I told her it probably doesn’t need to go to Longines but I don’t know where to send it to?

Does anyone have any recommendations?
I’m not sure how complicated this is to service - maybe it’s simple enough that her local guy is good enough? Or is that not worth the risk? I’ve no idea if he’s a decent watchmaker or not!

Thanks.

If it means so much to you in terms of sentimental value. Me personally I would send it to Longines.
They actually are quite reasonable in their prices.
The only thing I would say is it would probably be a couple of months to do it as they are on a backlog. I know because they still have my Heritage Diver 1967 from the beginning of June lol.
It's worth the wait because they do a brilliant job.
Acorrding to the current price list it's £180.00 for a full service & £55.00 for a partial.

I think take it to Longines to service it. It’s obviously worth it from a sentimental point of view. They may replace the movement but I’m sure it will be worth it in the long run.
