That's really lovely.

Personally, I wouldn’t bother getting that fully serviced as it’s mot cost-effective, unless you are very attached to it.
Is it only the chrono function which doesn’t run? Do the start/stop and reset buttons actuate the levers inside? It could be something quite trivial which is stopping it from starting. The “start” function simply moves an initially static wheel to engage with another moving wheel to advance the chronograph works. The depthing of this engagement can go out of alignment, so see if you can study the movement while exercising the start/stop button.

I have an Ollech and Wajs chrono I took an eBay punt on last year, paid £130ish (not with the Hirsch strap!)
I knew the chronograph was “hit or miss” but it’s never so much as worked for me, popped the back off snooped, Valjoux 7730, keeps ok time, phone app says it’s pretty magnitised.
There’s a half decent watch company where I live, will they take a look and quote for a repair or will I have to pay upfront for investigation? Any ballpark guesses, £300 for a service and if it’s just a simple part replaced?
