Thanks Paul and Cajun Mike

I am going to call the Hamilton service Centers and see what their price is before deciding - the local guy - very reputable - quoted me $350-400 USD - which is half the price of the watch when it was new.

I'll post when I decide what I am going to do.

Again - thanks for the advice - I knew people here would be helpful!
