It depends what needs to be done. I have taken a course in watchmaking, and disassembled and reassembled a really simple movement. Didn’t clean or lubricate it or anything. Believe me, servicing a quality mechanical watch is lots of work, and takes a lot of time and expertise. That said, a Movado is not a top tier watch. It’s more a fashion watch. And a grand is way too much. When Rolex, Omega and others are less money to service. A really good private watchmaker should be able to do the job for $300 or less.
