Enicar watchmaker for service?

[NateSA]

Hello All,

My dad has a Enicar that is in need of service. He took it to a local watchmaker however, the guy said parts would be hard to get and did not want to touch it. Can some of you provide me with names of watch makers that will service an Enicar. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have used the webwatchmaker.co.uk, Brendan Hoey and have been thrilled by his work. I'm sure there are others.
Good luck getting your dad's watch serviced

I would 100% recommend Brendan but it looks like you're in the US I think Nate? We have a few US members here notably our very own moderator @Joe_A who I'm sure will have some recommendations for you

I have seen over at WatchUSeek recommendations for others in the U.S. but I only have personal experience with RGM.

If you do use RGM, you should specify whether you want any polishing done. Many watchmakers will lightly polish a watch case if you do not specify "no polishing."

Recently I have discovered that RGM does not replace gaskets on watches over 25 years old unless requested to do so.

They do an excellent job of fully servicing the movement. I have had them relume one set of central hands and they did a good job.



I very carefully document the amplitude, beat error and rate for six positions for the watch fully wound and 24 hours later before I send a watch out to them.

Each time the watch has been returned, the numbers on the timegrapher have dramatically improved. Typically the amplitude is over 300 ° and the beat error is 0.5 msec or below. Generally the average rate is about + 6 seconds per day and often the watch does not have to be reset for days at a time.

Watches sent to them as of today include a JLC Memovox, two Sherpa Graphs, four Gallet MC 12H watches and a 1916 Gallet Electa Borgel cased watch.

They can get a watch back to you in six weeks when they are not busy, but can take a couple of months when they are busy.

Thanks for the input all. Yes, I am in the USA. I will look into RGM.
