Broken speed master pro
Hi all. I dropped speedy pro down about 3 feet on tile floor. Chrystal Broke. Watch shop wants about $950 to fix. They say a full service is required to check or replace oils after a fall. They also say the main spring is worn and watch was fully serviced less than 2 years ago. I think they want about 200 to just change the plastic. Thoughts. Does this seem right?
