Jim, Chuck Maddox uses Shane Ede here in the T.O. area, his number is 416-531-4201. I have not used Shane myself because I have not had to have my watch serviced yet. I do not know if Shane can help you or not but it is worth a try.

Good luck,

Dave from T.O.

: Hello,
: Just received a NOS lejour chrono from ebay and
: it's not working.I did have the second hand
: going for a about 30 secs by using the top
: chrono button but when i stopped and reset
: it, it wouldn't start again.
: The watch is an 80's model and I'm the first
: owner so I guess it could use a service
: right?
: The symptoms are...
: 1.I can hear the auto movement whirring when i
: move the watch
: 2.When I wind the watch there is some tension
: but this never increases or stops the crown
: from winding.(This is a bad sign I'm
: thinking)
: 3. I can change the time and date without any
: problems.
: 4.I did have the second hand chrono working as
: mentioned above. (This is a good sign I'm
: thinking)

: The watch was described as working perfectly
: but I noticed when it arrived that it showed
: the same time and date as it did in the
: photo's from ebay.

: What I really need to know is, is this normal
: for a 25+year old NOS watch to behave and
: will a simple service sort it out and how
: much is a general service?
: Perhaps the watch is magnetised as it's just
: been on a flight??? Clutching at straws here
: I think.
: Or, from the symptoms described, does it sound
: more serious.
: I don't really want to send the watch back to
: Switzerland from Canada but if it's a major
: fix I will.

: Also, can anyone recommend a good chrono
: guy/gal who knows 7750's etc in Toronto
: please.

: This is a Heuer passadena like watch with a
: screw in crown.

: Many thanks in advance.

: Jim Stewart
