I have read many good things and feel confident in Vanessa to service my new (to me) '78 9411. It is running around +6 but the only service marks I see appear to be a decade old.

Maybe she'll reply here or pm me with a quote? Just a clean lube and adjust so I can feel confident I'm not wearing pinions that are dry.... I actually have most of the ETA service documents but I wouldn't mind an expert set of eyes on the watch anyway. I know enough to be dangerous and that's about it....

I just wasn't sure if she bothered with mere ETA movements.... Thanks!

Edit-- the bezel assembly is frozen too... Does she do mechanical repairs as well or only focus on the movement? (I'd ask directly but don't know here "handle" here...)

Of course she could and would service that Tudor, and she will be able to handle any issues your watch has. But if it was apparently last serviced 10 years ago, why not go for a full treatment?

I don't want to mess with the appearance at all, other than fitting the correct crystal (and saving this be for a future 1680).

Make it run perfect and look vintage!
