I have an old Bulova (made in 1942?) that I purchased on ebay a few months back. It ran great when I first got it. All of a sudden it started losing about 15 minutes a day. I thought that it being relatively old I would have it fully serviced at a local reputable jeweler. They sent it out to someone in the area to have it done. When I got it back the crown was loose (it wasn't before) and it wouldn't run with any consistancy at all when it was running. I took it back to the jewelers and they sent it back to the watchmaker. $150.00 for the servicing and well over 2 months later and I still haven't seen my watch. They told me that it should be ready on Jan. 6. They give at least a one year warrantee, but I am not very pleased with the whole thing. What sort of things should I ask of them? They won't tell me the name of the watchmaker. If the watch doesn't work well when I get it back, may I ask them to have another watchmaker of my chosing reservice it? The watch in my avitar is the dial of the watch. It is January 6 and I should get the watch back sometime this week. I will let you know what comes of it... Thanks In Advance, Chris Attached Thumbnails

Chris, Sorry to hear of your luck with this. Keeping in mind that these old pieces almost never have the original crown doesn't surprise me that they come loose, but for $150.00 to service this piece, that watch should come back in great shape. Do not accept subpar work. Charlie Last edited on Tue Jan 6th, 2009 11:48 am by Goofy |
