let me start by aying nice board. ok so i bought a Hamilton xwind silver ss and after having the watch only a month i dropped it at work onto a plate steel floor, not good. after initial inspection i found no physical damage I discovered 3 days later while cleaning it that the back crystal had a hairline fracture. And the reason i found no damage originally was that it happened to fall directly onto the upper right pusher.the pusher has a BB sized dent on it. And i found that the sweep hand likes to hang at 57 sec. register which can be freed by tapping the watch lightly. the minute counter also stops at one minute and doesnt go any farther. what does anyone feel repair costs would be? im hoping not more than 200.00 since a new vajoux7750 is about 3-400.

Tony has the Perfect suggestion... I would bet that Duarte can fix it and he is quick and more than fair with his prices..
