Like everyone is saying that is way to high.

: Hi all -

: First post here and was wondering if anyone can give me some
: advice.
: I was given this watch back in the 80's. Wore it a couple of times
: at which
: point it was relegated to the back of my sock drawer. Pulled it out
: a couple of
: years ago and it is not working as it seems some moisture had crept
: in. Also
: noticed that one of the push button assemblies is damaged. See pic.

: Long story short, sent it to be repaired and they are quoting
: $1800+ to fix and
: overhaul it. Seems high to me. Please respond if you have any
: comments good or bad.
: See below description of charges. Thank you in advance. - Matt
