The speed adjustment is really simple.

after tuning, are you going to wear it frequently or not, if not, then no point la. besides, since it is an old watch, might need spring lube too, i done that not long ago b4 MCO for rm45

That service cost is reasonable. I'll check with some of the watch shops.

Is it worth sending it in for repair? I just worry the repair cost will be more than the watch.

I very seldom wear it as I already have a daily wear smart watch

No parts inside are broken.

It just needs speed adjustment to slow it down a little.

Maybe it also needs lubrication service after 15 years.

One of the old timers who is recommend online to service (maybe refurbish) watches is Steven of Wah Foong in Jalan Raja Laut (near Chow Kit).

Personally, have not used his services but have KIV his shop in case there is a need for his services.

out of the freaking blue, terlimpas old kedai, its the old rolex distributor, but the ah pek buat repair works, he left his anak do sales.

He terkejut la my watch tun fast, on a very old timegrapher that plots chart on real paper. Ada jatuh or bang something kot. So full service and all, rm200-300. On saja

The watch went through hell, halfway round the world, jumping, racine, kayaking semua hantam
