Watch worth repairing?
Hi all, so I have this tag heuer watch, got it for about $1800 during sales. Silly me, accidentally hit it today and the watch stopped upon impact, some axis must have broken within the mechanism :(
So I rang up to a watch repair shop and get a quote for repairing the automatic watch, it's gonna be between $400-600. Do you guys think it's still worth repairing? Or should I sell it off as a faulty watch? |

Are you really in London? If so that sucks. Was going to tell you to send it to me. I'm in the business...
Seems high to me. I can have a Rolex serviced for less than that.

I'd say fix it. It'll be cheaper than trying to sell that one and buying another new one.

 But by service do you mean like general oiling and polishing? I think the damage is more than that....the automatic gears and stuff have stopped spinning (the back is see through) how much approximately would the parts cost?

Smack it around a little more to see if it will fix it self, it's already broken so you can't hurt it anymore lol. Also I thought I was a high roller with my 150$ watches.

definitely worth fixing! What model is it? If you don't fix it, I might take it off your hands
