My Dad recently passed and I received this watch through the dispersion of possessions. I would like to have it refurbished as I have no skill or tools to do so.

I can’t imagine that it is a very expensive watch but can I trust to just any watch shop to tidy it up or should I be looking for a ...Cortebert specialist?

That’s a good quality Swiss brand who actually were contracted to male watches for the British Military during WW2, so that gives you an idea of quality. 
 

Any respected watchmakers should be fine to work on it.

Agree with Rodabod. I love Cortéberts and working on one now (pictured). Agree that any proficient watchmaker should be able to service your Dad’s watch, which I’m sure you’ll cherish wearing.

      Kalle Slaap said he is visiting London this week in order to see the exhibition. I was keeping an eye open, hoping to meet him.

      Notifications

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      if you're trying to keep track of conversations scattered all over the message board emails are an absolute must.   looking at the bell icon on the top of the page versus the emails today it looks like I got the correct amount of emails. So making some minor change based on the one of the images up above I started getting notifications again. But at times I still have a suspicion that something isn't quite right. I have some feeling that the message board may delay sending emails until something so seems to be a long delay between when you get your emails just a weird feeling things aren't quite right oh  and then even though I do seem to be getting emails I no longer get notifications of personal messages I don't find that out until I arrived at the message board where I'm pretty sure I used to get notifications of those two. So something is definitely changed on the message board. then for everyone not getting emails you do want to check your spam folder. I have found that sometimes were open up an email the system I use warns me that it thinks the email is evil and bad and I have no idea why he thinks some of the emails are and some are not. But this is actually the program I use not the email system which also has a mind of its own as to what it considers spam so you should always check your spam folder.
