Just a thought, what is the rough magnitude of cost for a service and fixing do you know?

Depends on the movement - anywhere between £100-500 gives you an idea

So I've changed my mind. I don't think it's worth spending money on to fix. So if anyone wants it they are welcome to it. Otherwise it'll go in the recycling.gridgway wrote:A mundane question, my other watch stopped working yonks ago, but I'd like to get it fixed. Any recommendations on menders to send it to?
ETA, this is the watch that has stopped working to be clear!

I'll happily post it to anyone that has a use for it.

Not for sale but In for a service.
One of the best condition Porsche Design watches running the Lemania 5100 movement I’ve seen in a long time - stunning condition and has its original box
Just met up with its owner who together with his father is involved in historic racing and is coaching today at Snetterton.
