Here’s What I Do - And What I Don’t Do

 Please note that I do not do fusee or old Accutron tuning fork movements. Otherwise if it has to do with telling time, I can fix it - assuming I can get parts. I have many watch parts in stock that I've accumulated over the years so in some cases if you need a replacement part it's going to be available. I also have access to a very good supplier and can get many parts I don't have in stock. Please understand though that some parts are difficult or impossible to obtain. While in general the older he watch the harder it is to get parts for there really is no rhyme or reason to all this; that is, I can get you a part for an 80 year old Bulova no problem, but a pusher for a 15 year old Festina chronograph - well, you're on your own there, you'll have to talk to Festina in Barcelona, Spain. If you've guessed there isn't a lot of consistency to what is available, you're right: Bulova - no problem. Elgin - they're available but aren't cheap. Some Patek parts are available, some Hamilton parts are not. I have a good supply of Angelus parts and some IWC parts. Some parts for Gruens are unavailable while others are around. If you need parts you'd better give me a call before sending your watch. Note that except in rare cases I don't sell parts. I need them to do my work and as a rule do not sell just parts. Call me anyway though, you never know. Sometimes we get very lucky and find otherwise unobtainable parts in Europe - it happens. I offer a one year warranty on my work. One last thing I need to say about Rolex. While I've fixed thousands of them there is a problem shipping them back to you if you are in the United Stated. If the US customs knows it's a Rolex they will send it back to me. They will not confiscate it as the popular myth goes, and it's no problem sending it to Canada, but it is problematical returning it to the US. You have a couple of choices here. We could try anyway - customs finds very few of them or you could make an arrangement with somebody you trust in Toronto to drive it over the border and mail it from there. Thanks for dropping by. I hope to be of service to you one day. Shane Ede
