I agree that vintage chronographs are expensive to repair,
but luckily for me after years of establishing contacts with
a local watchmaker for over 15 years,has helped to ease the
burden of watch repairs.

Parts are hard to obtain,but somehow my watchmaker has gotten
connection to every brand name in existence.  How he does it I will never know.

For Example:

I bought a 1950's Chronograph with a Landeron 248 17 Jewel manual wind
movement from him and the split-second hand was out of alignment. He took the watch apart and noticed that the column wheel wasn't functioning. Two days later, I get a call from stating that he found a replacement part.

He gave me one year warranty for both the watch and the new column wheel.
