    Hi all,

    I was wondering if one of you knowledgable folk would have any idea how much it'll cost to get my watch repaired.
    It's an Accurist All Terrain MB636. I know it's not worth much but I've had it 6 years now and I've grown quite attached to it! :o

    Basically, I was wearing it in work and walloped it off the handrail on the stairs. There's no damage to the glass or anything but the hands are now flopping around inside. If I tilt the watch to one side the hands will spin around in that direction. They haven't broken off or anything but it's like they're no longer attached to the inner mechanism or whatever.
    Any opinions are much appreciated. :)

    I've attached a picture of the watch.

    Nice looking watch el G. I'd say a cheap enough repair. Basically repositioning the hands onto their "axles". Any half decent jeweler/watchmaker could sort that I reckon.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Great. I was just hoping it wasn't totally knackered and I'd need to get a new one. Although, looking at some of the watches in here has me drooling!
