Base service price is 400
But here are the additional items required for repair. What are your thoughts on this and do you think the watch is worth the service? So without the optional crystal, the price would be $1233. $1418 with the crystal.

I'm far from an expert but that watch must've been beat up pretty bad to such an extent to require all those parts...
..Was it severely damaged somehow to cause it to just stopped running? Did you leave the crown unscrewed and go in the water..?
