Our watchmakers must attend continuing education classes either at

Packing & Shipping Suggestions
Pack your watch in a box that's
approximately 10" X 8" X 6" in size, or a size that can't easily
be lost by the carrier. We suggest
wrapping the item in bubble-wrap, and then packing in styrofoam peanuts or void
air bags. We
recommend the use of
USPS
Registered Mail, Insured for shipping timepieces to us. We
don't recommend using UPS. Click HERE to see why. Please make no reference to the contents on the outside of
your package. Our address label, at the bottom of our
Mail In Repair Form,
may be used for US Postal Service. Shortly after your package
arrives, we'll send a detailed written repair estimate by email.
We'll then wait for your reply before proceeding.
Package
carefully, but
Use only packing that can be discarded. Because of
the volume of repairs that come into the shop each week, we cannot be
responsible for personal or manufacturer's boxes. All packaging is
discarded.

Estimate Fee for
*Vintage
Accutron Repairs
Our
Our Estimate Fee includes a
watchmaker's diagnosis of needed repairs, detailed written
estimate, and return shipping and insurance by Federal Express if repairs are
declined. If, after obtaining your approval, we perform the repair we've
recommended, the estimate is FREE.
Vintage watch repair is much more
time consuming than modern repair. Parts are more difficult to
obtain and often we must research many different companies in search of
the precise components needed. As the largest facility in the
world for the repair of vintage Accutrons, turnaround time can vary depending on
the number of repairs in the shop at any given point. Our average
vintage
turnaround time is 3 - 6 weeks; Your patience is always
appreciated.

Vintage Accutron Repair Warranty
Unless
otherwise stated, Old Father Time Vintage Repairs are warranted, to our customers, for
timekeeping, for a
period of six months from the date of original repair. While perfection is always our goal,
no warranties are, or can be, made
regarding achieving the accuracy standards of timekeeping asserted by the
original manufacturers when these watches were NEW. Timekeeping is adjusted
as originally prescribed by the manufacturer at the time of return shipment to the
customer, and has been found to be consistent for at least 7 days prior to
shipment. However, it is mutually understood that these watches are now
antiques. Adjustments to timekeeping ARE
SOMETIMES necessary after any repair or overhaul and while the watch adjusts to
the owner's normal use. We've found that adjustments can also be required
after "rough shipping". New problems can also arise after the initial repair is performed
. We will, therefore, make timekeeping adjustments
throughout the warranty period as needed. Our warranty is void if we
determine instances of abuse, misuse, incorrect application, or tampering and excludes batteries, case,
strap or bracelet, crystals, normal wear and tear, electronic coils and return shipping costs.
Partial repairs are not covered by warranty. Our Mail-In Repair form may
be used with warranty repairs.
