Put the Montine on today, and thought I'd check in the watchmaker's for a servicing cost. Mostly because the push-button date change is fickle.
Well, the other less preferable man was working, quoted me £60-70 servicing and a further £40 in parts likely.
He told me the movement is difficult and expensive to repair, and if it's the problem he thinks then it'll be costly to repair. Totally forgot the name of the part now. The something-bolt? He pulled out the crown stem and back in and said "yep definitely".
Looks like I'll wear it as-is for now.
