Ok my friend, I have trained many watchmakers from all over the world and when you bench test them it’s not on a movement with a random sobriquet. Just saying, also I love Seiko and can tell you what caliber is in any of them for the most part. Just FYI Seiko uses numbers for designation

Thanks for your kind words my friend!

Yea, this is wildly, wildly, not true. An ETA 2892 is an ETA 2892 the world over . A Miyota OS10 is the same the world over , a rolex 3135 is the same the world over… need i go on ? Watchmaking is an art and a trade and a science and field of history the world over . 99 % of Every single watch ( pocket or wrist ) is marked in a way specific to that maker, etc. This includes the cases as well. These marks have been understood for literally hundreds and hundreds of years. This “Professional watchmaker” was it seems more into semi pro BS. I’m sorry that happened to you. I will gladly answer any question you have.

in a distant cousin sort of way I suppose…. Please read my answer, and hope all is well

1. I wouldn’t charge more than 155-170 tops for the assumed overhaul. I have thousands of NOS parts for Bulova alone so the parts cost is mitigated drastically. Plus I have 5/6 parts pieces of the exact same model . Bulova has an amazing story close to unique in watchmaking lore as I’m sure you know

2. I hope you Choose wisely like Indy Looking for the “Grail” …. If you I can help you out please let me know!
