So do I think $1,100 to service a Movado is high? You bet I do, especially if it is going to require it every few years. I had my Rolex Submariner purchased new in 1995, serviced exactly once, and that’s because I dropped it and broke a canon pinion. That set me back $800 for repair and complete CLA. So no, I would not tell IC to buy a digital Casio for $20. But I certainly think Movado’s repair price is way out of line for that tier of watch.
I don't disagree with a word you have said in this thread. And I wasn't thinking of you when I made that Casio reference.

What I AM saying is that the money doesn't always need to make sense when it comes to watches. From what Chef said, he likes his watch. So why not fix it?
