As a collector of vintage pieces, I have had many watches serviced. All have gone back to Geneva due to their age. The price on a manual wind is about 12-1500 USD. I currently have a 60's Auto w/date. The service plus work on the case (bent lug and deep scratches to be laser filled) will be $2500 USD. The price is not a problem as I know the watch will be perfect upon return, the larger issue is 38 weeks.

I know the temptation of using a local watchmaker however, I fear the use on Non-Patek parts and thus have never gone that route.

Good luck, let us know what you decide?
