Hey Everyone,
Anyone on here from Calgary and that can do repairs to a submariner? I could ship back to China to Watchinternational but don't want to wait that long.
Thanks,

Welcome! Check with Alberta Time in downtown. Their pretty rep friendly...
Thank you. I tried Kong watches but they wanted 125 to fix. They say its a spring....Watch is only worth 200 and change....
Have you been there lately? Are you in Calgary as well?
Is this the spot?

Yes I am...I'm a regular there...the address is correct. Just ensure that you mention it is a rep. But in most cases, if it has a 21 jewel movement in it, you may want to consider just buying a new movement and swap it out. I think those movements are about $30-$40?
Awesome thank you!! Don't want to have to ship it back...If its movement needs to be replaced can they do that? I don't have the tools to do it.
Here is the one I have....

thanks in advance,
Welcome aboard, another Calgary member here. I will agree with chiman123 regarding Alberta Time Services. I have had a few watches over to them.
They don't do it anymore because there are no parts available. Back to drawing board.
Know of anywhere else?
Sorry, can't help. Good luck though and there are a ton of knowledgable members on this forum to offer help.
Appreciate it. chiman123. Know of anywheres? they said it is too hard to source parts now....I talked to a lady so not sure if i should call back and ask for watchsmith..
I hope there is as I would prefer not to have to ship it to China....
Did you drop it off? Normally the woman there doesn't really know much. I normally drop it off and they call me and let me know price and if they can do it.
Best to talk to Manu or Al.Quote:

I think its a fair price. first of all, you dont need to send back to China and 'wait' for who knows how long. We now know we can take it to City Time for rep repairs. Dos he warranty his repairs?
Yep one year :)

Another Calgarian here, just getting into this hobby and I'm glad to learn from this thread that there is a rep-friendly repair shop here. Thanks for the tip chiman and colemac!
