A service has just been completed on my PRS-6. You might be interested in what is involved.

Thanks for posting. I always enjoy seeing the full process.

I sent my Tutima flieger chronograph there around this time last year. They did a great job and I’d happily use them again.
The bits that are too tricky to photograph are the interesting bits! Trueing up and correcting hairspring faults is a good example. Watches are simple machines, its the small scale that causes difficulty.Originally Posted by TheGent
The most useful tool I possess is the digital camera, taking pictures during stripdown makes life much easier when building a movement back up. This is particularly true for day/date mechanisms and chronographs. I have an extensive library of pictures on the computer covering most commonly encountered movements, taking pics at each stage is time- consuming but its time well- spent.
And now back in the fold.
The service was 50% more than the watch cost new.

What Eddie used to be able to charge for a Swiss watch is incredible.
