SHANE EDE Clock and Watch Repairs Mechanical - Quartz - Hi grade - Complications - Chronographs Thanks for dropping by and letting me introduce myself. My name is Shane Ede and I've been repairing watches for over 30 years. Most of the work I've done has been for dealers and serious hobbyists, and stores all over Canada, but word of mouth via the Internet is getting me work from all over the world now; send me your watch and you'll get it back working and unscratched. I work on pretty anything that ticks - mechanical, quartz, wristwatches, car clocks, pocket watches. The only two things I don't do are fusee's and Accutrons. Sorry. You might not expect a guy that fixes mechanical watches to be on the Internet axnd you'd be right. Somebody did this website for me and I have no email. So, if you want to talk to me why don't you phone me? My number is +1 (416) 531-4201. I'm in Eastern Time Zone and the best times to call are between 9 am and 7 pm any day. If you call me you can get my mailing address. "How much to fix my watch?" is a very difficult question to answer. First let me give you my rates to clean and lubricate a watch: Time only (handwound) - $45 High Grade time only (handwound) - $85 Time only (automatic) - $50 High Grade time only (automatic) - $100 Chronographs - $125 Repeaters - $175 NOTE that all prices listed are in Canadian dollars. A lot of times that's all some poor old thing off eBay needs to make it work again. A lot of times I'll have crystals in stock and they'll run $5 - $10. If I have to go out and buy them they may cost more and things like Rolex and Omega may cost up to $30 for a new crystal. I have many watch parts in stock that I've accumulated over the years so in some cases if you need a replacement part it's going to be very cheap. I also have access to a very good supplier and can get many parts I don't have in stock. Please understand though that some parts are difficult or impossible to obtain. While in general the older he watch the harder it is to get parts for there really is no rhyme or reason to all this; that is, I can get you a part for an 80 year old Bulova no problem, but a pusher for a 15 year old Festina chronograph - well, you're on your own there, you'll have to talk to Festina in Barcelona, Spain. If you've guessed there isn't a lot of consistency to what is available, you're right: Bulova - no problem. Elgin - they're available but aren't cheap. Some Patek parts are available, some Hamilton parts are not. I have a good supply of Angelus parts and some IWC parts. Some parts for Gruens are unavailable while others are around. If you need parts you'd better give me a call before sending your watch. Note that except in rare cases I don't sell parts. I need them to do my work and as a rule do not sell just parts. Call me anyway though, you never know. Sometimes we get very lucky and find otherwise unobtainable parts in Europe - it happens. I offer a one year warranty on my work. One last thing I need to say about Rolex. While I've fixed thousands of them there is a problem shipping them back to you if you are in the United Stated. If the US customs knows it's a Rolex they will send it back to me. They will not confiscate it as the popular myth goes, and it's no problem sending it to Canada, but it is problematical returning it to the US. You have a couple of choices here. We could try anyway - customs finds very few of them or you could make an arrangement with somebody you trust in Toronto to drive it over the border and mail it from there. Daniel Ho from TimeZone is one person you might contact. Thanks for dropping by. I hope to be of service to you one day. Shane Ede
