That's comparable to what I pay for the general servicing of my Rolex and Breitling watches, via Watches of Switzerland, and assume it'd be similar for Zenith.Some advice chaps please.
I've just been quoted by Beards in Cheltenham for a service and repair for a Zenith Elte (slimline). Not many 'complications' merely date.
£400 and eight to ten weeks ETA. They state that's a full strip down and any parts replaced with OEM parts.
Does that seem about standard?
Thanks

My daily watch is a Rolex Explorer I. Love it, as it is simple, bullet proof as a tank, waterproof as a submarine. Only problem is I keep cracking crystals (plastic , not sapphire). Does anyone know of a guard, or protector that goes over the crystal ? I wear it in a very harsh environment, and it is the only watch that comes close to taking the punishment. Thanks..
Getting a plastic crystal to seal correctly is why I came up with the wild pressure test using my air compressor.Ahh, not many.
You might try talking to LWR (as above) but you could be stuck. Pretty sure they work internationally.
Are Rolex not making the crystals any more? At least that would obviate the age / brittleness issue.

Catman, it's an early model (mid 60's), 34mm and pre sapphire, so the case is different than later models. I have used double thick polycarbonate crystals in the past, but they are hard to find now. The replacements I have been able to source are getting old and brittle. Any ideas?
What's Catawiki?Happily just scored a Cartier Panthere on Catawiki. Box and papers, needs some refurb (IMHO) Been after one for some time to match Mrs C's but they are rather rare these days.
Howard and Hilda, here we are !
