I'm shocked by these prices. I could completely strip down a manual wind and have it finished within 40 minutes. At these prices I could have been a millionaire. OK yes I know I switched to high grade clocks. Anyone got a price list for clocks or can you tell me what the charges are these days. I have a few that need repairing which I have been putting off for a few years and I need to know how much to charge my self. One is a French strike on a bell, French Timepiece and a Georgian bracket fusee chime on a peal of bells which I bought about 5 months ago.

Just out of curiosity, what are the going prices for servicing tuning fork watches like Bulova Accutrons, Omega f300s, etc?

Those prices still do seem a bit Low to me, especially if you end up having to change parts. How many watches do they manage to do in a day? The amount of time you can end up sinking into a simple manual wind can end up very large if it’s a ladies movement which are harder to do.

Don’t most watchmakers reject those? Because they can’t get parts and/or aren’t familiar with them.
